purpose.

Welcome! You’ve stumbled upon a unique repository of information about The Knolls—an exclusive trove not found anywhere else, although the information should have never been this elusive.

Within these pages lies detailed explanations highlighting why it appears homeowners at The Knolls have been less than thrilled, possibly due to being misled with inaccurate information, seemingly orchestrated to coerce them into paying HOA fees over the past 14 years, without merit.

Should this not serve as a glaring alert to the Board of Directors of Power Ranch and the entire community, it’s hard to imagine what else could highlight the glaring oversight and mismanagement. Not to mention the advice from a certain law firm that, in conjunction with the management company, might be perceived by some as a scheme to disadvantage homeowners.

This page is resolutely committed to demystifying everything you should know about what is often deceptively referred to the “benefitted community” or perhaps it be rightfully be renamed to the debunked subassociation of Power Ranch, known as The Knolls (legally known as Power Ranch Neighborhood 9, formerly Power Ranch Neighborhood 9 Community Association, and Knolls Subassociation).

Let’s dive right in, shall we?

NOTE to all non-Knolls residents: Don’t make the mistake of thinking this message doesn’t concern you! Keep in mind that missteps by our management and legal “advisor” impact the entire Master community — yes, that includes the Master! Read on…

THE BIGGEST FAILURE, FRAUD, or BOTH?

If you are a Knolls resident, you may have wondered why you have 2 association dues?  Well according to the 2006 CC&R’s, you were rightfully assessed 2 association dues, one for The Knolls subassociation, and the second to the Master Association – Power Ranch.  However, there appears to be a 2nd set of CC&R’s filed in 2011 that is no where to be found on Power Ranch’s website that actually changes everything.

To fully comprehend the scope of our present circumstances, we need to thoroughly explore the history of the Knolls Subassociation, beginning in the year 2005 & 2006, when the initial Declarant recorded the plans, plat map, and CCR’s for what we know today as the Knolls and at the time of the filing Power Ranch Neighborhood 9 Community Association.

Power Ranch Neighborhood 9 COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION.

The foundational document for the Community Association named Power Ranch Neighborhood 9, also referred to as The Knolls, was officially recorded in November 2005 (plat map) and June 2006. This important document, along with the Bylaws and Corporation documents, marked the formal establishment of a true subassociation within Power Ranch. This subassociation is managed by a Board of Directors, who have the authority to vote, operate, establish budgets, and oversee governance across all areas within the boundaries designated as Neighborhood 9. This includes Parcels 1 and 2, as delineated in the Plat Map that was filed. For a complete understanding and verification of these details, the full document (2006 CCR's) is available for reference below. NOTE: This document is the only version presented to homeowners on the MyPowerRanch.com website managed by Power Ranch's management company, CCMC. For the last 14 years, homeowners in the Knolls community have been incorrectly led to operate and make payments based on outdated documents from 2006.

Maps of Common Areas to be maintained by
The Knolls 2005 vs 2011 Master Association Replat

In case anyone tries to dispute that Knolls homeowners are wrongfully assessed by claiming they are to pay a Special Service Area Assessment, let's see what that actually means...

What does "Special Service Assessment Areas" mean?

The AMENDED CCR's filed in 2011 which is the current governing document for the former "Knolls" community outlines the "Special Service Area Assessments" which is nothing more than the small rock or flower beds directly located in front of the patio and bungalow homes (NOT to be confused with the common areas, known as Tracts "S"). This area belongs to the respective homeowners but due to the common irrigation and water lines running across this area, homeowners are assessed a "special service area" assessment for the Master to provide maintenance which includes landscaping. CCR's language states the areas that "benefit any Lots or Parcel in a disproportionate manner." Again, this has nothing to do with Common Area, only areas on a homeowners lot.

MASTER DECLARATIONS SECTION 7.6:

**NOTE: The difference in dues between single family homes vs. bungalow/patio homes in the “Knolls” is $34; therefore, based on this information, the Neighborhood 9 bungalow and patio homes are to be assessed ONLY an additional $34, plus the master association dues.  Single family homes should not be assessed $214/month as it is the Master’s responsibility.  That is a savings of $856.00/year for each homeowner in Neighborhood 9, including the condos. (These are all estimated numbers, exact amounts will be determined after reviewing contracts.)
