I write a lot of letters to people in Wolf Creek who violate neighborhood covenants and city codes. Wanna know why? For whatever reason, some people choose not to be a part of the spirit of our great neighborhood. Their lack of concern lowers the value of your investment and mine. It makes the neighborhood look trashy?it appears to outsiders that we don?t care.

If you own your home, chances are it is your largest single investment. That's why it's important that we-you and I-protect the money we have tied up in our property.

It is unlawful (BA City Code) to park your RV, four-wheeler, travel trailer or motor home in your driveway, except to do clean-up or maintenance. It is unlawful to park those same vehicles on the grass in your front yard. The proper place for storage of such items is behind the fence line of your home.

It is unlawful to keep undriveable vehicles in your driveway, whether or not they are covered with a tarp. They must be stored in your garage, or at a storage space somewhere else. It's the law, and I regularly encourage the BA Code Enforcement inspectors to visit addresses where violations occur.

Regardless of whether you own in Wolf Creek, you are also obligated to honor City Code requirements and the Wolf Creek Covenants. The City Codes can be found at www.brokenarrowok.gov The Wolf Creek Covenants can be found below, Check them out.

If you have neighbors whose trash, broken-down vehicles or recreational vehicles are pulling down your investment, please make them aware of the websites, and inform them politely that they are in violation. Let's work together to keep our wonderful neighborhood looking good.

Thanks for your help,
Ken Scrivner, President
Wolf Creek Homeowner's Association
