Comments on: How factual are the LTFC’s CIF FAQs? http://4kfee.com/every-thought-counts/how-factual-are-the-ltfc%e2%80%99s-faqs/ What are your thoughts on the proposed fee?

A first step would be to publish an Internet Smoke Signals On-line set of corrections, and then to email the corrections to all of the property owners (as were the other erroneous information). The Chairman has been furnished proof of his errors and he has done nothing to correct them as evidenced by the publications that continue to be distributed at the Big Canoe post office quoting the same erroneous data/information. In my opinion this POA Board will stop at nothing in their attempt to have the proposed capital assessment approved. Unfortunately, the other CIF players seem to be of the same mindset.

Therefore, the question is (putting it nicely): When do too many factual errors become intentional errors? Again, would the LTFC please re-verify their numbers and publish the new corrected numbers? Would they also provide the property owners with the copies of each of the similar communities’ fees and other facts sheets. Would the LTFC members please re-read Promise Number One of The Six Promises located at www.thesixpromises.blogspot.com/ ? This promise also applies to them. Some of the so-called similar communities for your visiting pleasure: Belfair http://www.belfair1811.com/ Colleton River Plantation http://www.colletonriver.com/ Long Cove Plantation http://www.bluechiphiltonhead.com/long-cove-plantation.htm Moss Creek http://mosscreekonline.com/ There are many more factual errors that I could post here; but I’m getting tired of doing so.

Brays Island has a 1.5 percent “Marketing” Transfer Contribution Fee. It is not a “Capital” Initiation Fee. Brays Island does have an “annual” Capital Contribution; more on that later. Let’s get to know Brays Island a little better. Brays Island has only 325 home sites located on 5,500 acres. The homes at Brays Island are priced at $1,000,000 to $6,500,000. The Brays Island monthly dues are $1,535 monthly or $18,420 yearly (this fee includes golf, hunting or any of the amenities). Brays Island does have an “annual” contribution to fund their long-range capital needs. This “year” that contribution is $3,300 per owner. Yes, you read it right; Brays Island has so few owners and so many facilities that they pay a Capital Fee of $3,300 "every" year. The Big Canoe POA Board and the LTFC can only wish that Big Canoe and Brays Island were similar. Brays Island, with its $1,000,000 plus homes, is not similar to Big Canoe. Want to see more?

To make an error of this magnitude pollutes the whole concept of a capital fee a la Big Canoe. Why is it necessary for any of us to have to check every little statement from the POA as to it's veracity. Do complete staff work and this won't be a problem in the future.
