The Ballot presents the owners proposed changes on four topics:

1) Approve 12 wide park trailers (models) for PVC

2) Owners not voting no longer counted in Covenant & By Law change voting

3) Vacant Board seat filled by Board appointment not past un-elected candidate

4) Foundation post height increased from 2 to 3 feet

The Ballot spells out in detail the exact changes to documents and includes a discussion of what and why. The Committee received input from a variety of folks. Ballots are to be returned to Jo Roskosh Lot 41 in person or by mail to : PVCOA, 1000 Paradise Valley Rd #310, Cleveland, GA 30528. Every ballot envelope must have the owners lot number(s) on the outside of the envelope.

A variety of questions and comments were presented at the Meeting when this VOTE was presented. Two points came through loud and clear, Paradise Valley is the only RV park within White County that does not welcome 12 wide units and a number of owners promoting this VOTE wish to have one on their lot. 

For more information on the posture of other RV parks and the impact of 12 wide units contact Mountain Country Reality 706-865-1906 or Email  sherry@rvlots.net.

MOTE PERMIT RESCINDED, then, JUDGE REVERSES RULING:    

In a technical ruling, a Georgia State Administrative Hearing Judge found that Chris Mote's changing the Applicant, from a Corporation to an LLC, during the Permit Application period, requires, as a matter of law,  that the Issued Permit be "reversed".  An LLC may not hold such a Permit. The Petitioners, appearing without legal representation, included a number of Mote's neighbors.  It is unknown if Mote will pursue further action in the matter. The ruling was unrelated to the operation Mote proposed to run under the Permit, but rather addressed what type of entity might hold such a permit in the first place.  An Administrative Hearing is a first step in a legal process that could next move to Court ?  Finding Filed June 7, 2010, read detail here.

The July 8, White County News reports that Judge John Gatto, who issued the ruling above, reversed his ruling on June 30, after testimony from EPD Director Allen Barnes revealed that there were many EPD permits issued and in effect for years, that had been granted to LLC's, without legal challenge. This renders the technical argument against Mote moot.

In further developments, the several pending legal actions against Mote were consolidated and the merits of the various claims therein, will be heard in future. Petitioners pin hopes of stopping Mote on pollution claims. 

It seems this (legal) battle is far from over.....

US MAIL:
The United States Post Office has directed that we no longer use a postal address that includes our campground box numbers. An example of an old address : 1000 Paradise Valley Road #97. We are now to use our actual street addresses or 911 addresses. An example of a new address : 96 Big Rock Road. In many ways this simplifies mailing since your lot location and mail address are now the same just as if you were located on a typical residential street. The mail carrier will translate your present campground box number so you will continue to receive your mail in your campground mail box as in the past. Contact the carrier or leave a note in your campground box if you have not received your written notification. 

If you do not know your correct 911 address see a campground directory, refer to the maps page of this web site for orientation or contact the 911 mapping office in Cleveland.
