Elevating Community Spirit, One Feather at a Time

Dear Neighbors,

We, the undersigned residents of Eagle Park, are deeply concerned about the lack of effective governance and maintenance from the current HOA board members of Prime Financial Services. Despite numerous attempts to address pressing issues affecting our neighborhood, we have witnessed a persistent neglect of our concerns, leading to a decline in the quality of life and safety within our community.

Oppose any HOA fee increase unless there is transparency through financial disclosure.

• Many HOA obligations to our community have been removed without our knowledge or consent. Owners are encouraged to compare the amended bylaws with your original version. Failure to provide us notice of these changes is a violation. 

The current HOA board members have repeatedly failed to act on critical matters, including:  

1. Wildlife Management: Despite numerous complaints regarding the presence of raccoons and stray cats, the board has neglected to implement sufficient measures to resolve this issue, thus jeopardizing our safety and property.  Residents feeding feral cats, attracting wildlife to the property exacerbates the situation. The presence of raccoons, possums, and numerous stray cats is a major concern, resulting in waste accumulation as well as unpleasant odors for nearby residents.

• Raccoons and opossums can transmit diseases like rabies, leptospirosis, and roundworm. They frequently consume cat food left outdoors in our neighborhood, resulting in contaminated feces in yards or lawns. This poses a significant risk to our health, the safety of our children, and also leads to property damage to roofs and attics which is no longer covered by the HOA policy.

2. Maintenance of Common Areas: The neglect of maintenance around the pond and wooded areas has resulted in fallen branches, overgrown vegetation, causing damage to fences and property and creating safety hazards for residents. In addition the lack of attention to the pet area has resulted in foul smells and unsanitary conditions near the children's play area, posing a risk of disease transmission.

• Homeowners Associations (HOAs) are responsible for the maintenance of creeks and wetlands as outlined in the recorded plat. It is crucial to uphold these areas with thriving native vegetation to filter pollution from runoff and safeguard the water quality of our community.

3. Frequent Homeowner Due Increases:  There are concerns about the mishandling of funds. The increasing homeowner dues have become a burden on residents without noticeable enhancements to our community. Additionally, numerous homeowners have experienced inconsistencies in the acknowledgment and prompt processing of HOA payments, resulting in late fees. Consequently, we, the residents of Eagle Park Subdivision, are unified in our rightful demand for access to the HOA's financial statements.

• South Carolina law mandates that homeowners associations (HOAs) must furnish financial statements to members annually, a requirement that has never been fulfilled.

4. Lack of Communication and Transparency: The board has shown a lack of transparency and communication with residents, failing to address concerns and provide updates on important matters affecting our community.

• Section 27-30-140 of CHAPTER 30 Homeowners Associations Article 1, known as the South Carolina Homeowners Association Act, stipulates that before a homeowners association can proceed with increasing an annual budget within a single year, notice must be provided to homeowners at least forty-eight hours in advance of the meeting where the decision will be made. We received no such notice.

We believe that it is imperative to remove the current HOA board members and elect new representatives who are committed to upholding the best interests of our neighborhood.

By signing this petition, we affirm our support for the removal of the current HOA board members and the election of new representatives who will address our concerns and work towards improving our community.

Thank you for your support. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns or matters you would like to discuss or add to this petition. 

Owners are Encouraged | "United we stand, divided we fall."

•  After consulting with an official from the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs, it's advised that we each file a complaint with their department regarding the significant concerns. Furthermore, it's suggested that we also submit complaints to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Companies like Prime are typically more responsive when their public reputation is at risk.
