HOA To Ban Kids From Playing Outside?Edgewater Association To Vote On Proposal April 27 |
EDGEWATER, Fla. -- A Central Florida homeowners association is preparing to vote on banning children from playing outside.
The HOA board said the proposed rule, which will carry a $100 fine for every violation, is all about safety.
"They came in and rented (a home) in a community that does not have a playground and is not conducive to children. Then they expect the children to play in the driveways and parking lot. You wouldn't see them playing the parking lot at Walmart or Kmart, but they come here and turn the children loose," said HOA board member Kim Scott.
"You think there is an agenda behind this?" Local 6 reporter Mike Holfeld asked Magee.
"Absolutely. They've been trying to restrict the kids from doing different things for as long as I've been here, but we have always had our voices heard. It just wasn't that way this time," she said.
For now, the children can play outside without restriction, but the HOA board will meet with an attorney on Thursday, and the final rules and bylaws will be given to every resident before the April 27 vote. |
