Court rules in favor of Fair Share
Says LLPOA entitled to collect Fair Share for Dams, Maintenance

Judge Timothy Farrell held that the LLPOA was entitled to collect fair share assessments for dam maintenance from non-members in the original Laurel Lake tract at a trial conducted on January 21, 2009, in a lawsuit brought by Cynthia Coverdale.  Ms. Coverdale brought this lawsuit seeking refund of the assessment that she paid, claiming that the LLPOA did not have the right to collect the assessments. Judge Farrell found that the intent of the original deed creating the LLPOA was to convey the benefits of Laurel Lake and the common areas surrounding it to all present and subsequent owners within the original tract. 
Accordingly Judge Farrell found that with the benefits conferred to these owners goes the burden, and that these owners are required to pay annual dam assessments even though they are not members of the LLPOA.
