Frequently Asked Questions
General:
-
The idea of closing off our streets is appealing to many, there are significant hurdles to overcome and/or consider. Primarily, there are 2 entrances (43rd Ave @ 119th and 122nd Ave @ 46th) into Greyhawk Ridge HOA proper. We would also be enclosing Hammond Farms, Riley Ct., and the county park, all of which are not part of our HOA. Those residents outside our HOA would need to sign off on gating our communities as well. Finally, if we close off our neighborhood, we would then take responsibility for road repairs, maintenance, etc. going forward. This would likely increase our annual dues significantly, and quite possibly require a special assessment to fund construction. In the past, these hurdles have been seen as non-starters, so there may be more unforeseen considerations should we explore deeper at some point.
