(Updated 5-29-25) Covenants & Restrictions Amendment – VOTE NO

The vote to amend the C&R’s has been postponed but is still on the table.
Your voice still needs to be heard by the FFG board.
Express your disdain for individuals making decisions behind your back.

Why should you be outraged?

  • This amendment will stifle development by blocking future road construction.
  • Current C&R’s specifically mentions that ANY developer can build future roads, not just the declarant.
  • The Board and Declarant are in cahoots by stating that the Declarant has the sole power to build roads.
  • The Board Chair either doesn’t understand the current Restrictions or is trying to mislead Members by claiming the Restrictions do not allow others to build roads.
  • THIS AMENDMENT FORCES GLADE RESIDENTS TO PAY FOR THE DEVELOPERS COST. SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE.

Vote NO on the Amendment to the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Fairfield Glade

The Fairfield Glade Community Club (FGCC) Board of Directors (Board) will soon call for a vote to amend the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Fairfield Glade (CRs).

The FGCC members must get out the vote and vote NO for the following reasons:

  • The problem will not be corrected because there is no plan.
    The amendment to the CRs together with the confidential agreement(s) between the Board and Declarant are essentially a scheme to transfer the costs to construct roads, drainage and utilities to serve a select number of Class “C” lots from the Declarant (developer) to the lot owners.

  • The Board’s revenue projections from Class “C” lot sales are fantasy.
    There are approximately 8,000 Class “C” lots, approximately half of which are privately owned, according to the Board. How many Class “C” lots will the Declarant develop annually – a dozen? What are the risks members must assume to realize revenue from a marginal increase in monthly dues of a very small number of lots?

  • What will the owners of Class “C” lots do when they are assessed?
    If you’re a Class “C” lot owner, how is it legal for a developer to place a lien (assessment) against your property? Did the Board consider impacts on all FGCC members from defaults, title claims, lawsuits, legal battles, and attorney fees?

  • A monopoly on development in FG is not a solution, just another problem.
    The Cumberland County Regional Planning Commission is responsible for orderly subdivision development, and has ownership, authority, and control over platted, dedicated right of way. The Declarant claims the “sole right” to construct public improvements in county right of way. This problem and conflict must be resolved.

  • Other developers and builders are needed to fix the problem.
    More housing choices, greater volume of homes, and an expanding community will generate increased revenue to FGCC. The Board must open opportunities for other developers and builders, not limit them.

  • If the Board does not pause action to call for a vote, members must vote NO.
    The Board represents the members’ will, and does not decide for the members, especially on important matters that will have long-term consequences. The amendment to the CRs is flawed – legally, strategically, and financially. If the Board calls for a vote, the flaws in the amendment will affect all members. On this issue members must get out the vote and vote NO.
