[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Success with HOAs

[Bob Brickner]

Mark.... most HOA’s have an ARB that publishes the architectural Review board guidelines that describes what you can and cannot do in your HOA. Mine , located near Burke Lake, does not allow such antenna And it is clearly noted In documents. The size of the lots and the age of the HOA could impact the attitude on this issue and the restrictions regarding being a good neighbor in community. We all have different definitions on that of course. If ARB exists, I would check their historical minutes Or call the chairperson to check history. Sometimes exemptions are granted...you can appeal to the HOA Board as well if the ARB is a dead end! Good Luck Bob KM4TZZ
