Neighborhood Safety
Have you had vandalism occur on your street or to your house (like beverages stolen from your garage or small pranks) and didn't feel it was a big enough incident to file a police report? If so, please contact Marina Leneave at 897.4627 mleneave@verizon.net with details on the incidents. As our Neighborhood Safety Awareness team leader, she is gathering data to show patterns and to see what The Grove as a whole could possibly do to make our community safe and vandal-free!

solicitation

Posted by Resident at September 30. 2011
I have had 2 religious solicitations in the past two weeks. I appreciate their motives but I don't understand how they can enter our neighborhood when it is clearly marked that this is not allowed. Is there any other way to deter this?

The county code only requires solicitor's permits from businesses, not non-profits, religious orgs. etc. Unless you have a clearly displayed sign on your property that says "NO TRESSPASSING" then they haven't broken the law. But such a sign I'm guessing violates HOA rules. The HOA could consider going after these groups thru civil court but would the HOA really want to waste time/money going after a church group. The streets are public roads and as long as the groups follow traffic law, they can travel freely on them.

Solicitation is a county issue not a HOA issue since we are not a gated community. We do have GROVE NO SOLICITATION stickers that you can obtain either from the Welcome Committee or Publicity(Mike Burnette).  If you have a NO SOLICITATION sticker on your door, then it is enforceable. Unfortunately the signs at our entrances are not enforceable by anyone.

Thanks for the legal clarification. I was unaware of the county code that pertains to this. Thanks for the info.

I was unaware of the county code. I do have a no solicitation sticker mounted directly by my doorbell. I of course don't mind helping the kids in the neighborhood with their funraisers but I thought adults could at least respect the sticker that is clearly visable. It is just one of those things I guess you have to ignore. :)
