We are at Hicks also, and we have 37....

Agree, they don't really care too much about class sizes.  Teachers are getting stretched thin.  IUSD has lower teacher student ratios, and for people with kids, this will be a deciding factor in house purchase.

Just had first day of 4th grade at Hicks and saw 36 kids per class! :-\ Concerned for my kid and concerned for the teachers.  Apparently this is expected in TUSD, just letting any future OH buyers beware...

I would suggest Laguna Niguel.  We lived there for a year and had a great time.  We could bike to the beach.  Weather was temperate-- not as cold in the winter and not as hot in the summer. 

Wall is being closed over to create a room.  Fortunately, we were able to speak with the landscaper, and they assured us there will be a very large green screen.  I wish the hoa would have been more transparent with us, but as i understand, it is not on a neighbor need to know basis.  thx for...

There was no sign off, nor should there be.  They can do what they want.  Their plans were great at the time, but have significantly altered since then.  HOA did not approve it last week, nor were there even updated plans, but something got sudden approval the other day.  :(

I have met the majority of my neighbor(s).  The one with the huge structure, showed me their plans many many months ago, and those plans were no where near what is all ready gone up.  As i stated earlier, i am more concerned with my house value and now having to stare at their solar cells.  At...

Thanks guys! I did check out the irvine permits.  It is at least double what the other post had suggested... I had always assumed Irvine was strict about almost everything.  Guess again.  I honestly don't care what they do, i'm just concerned about resale value of our house.  If it blocks...

I don't need to ask, i know what it is, a massive shanty that has reduced our property value over night.

Love it, floorplan is awesome-plan 1.  All secondary bedrooms are huge and easily swallow king/queen beds.  I am very grateful we were able to get it.  Only really need a back staircase. I will continue to talk to hoa. 

Got it... Found the rules... Thanks guys! Not trying to be a pain, just worried that rules say alot of things, which do not appear to match this structure, yet it is going up...

I think a casita can be allowed for this lot, however not of this size or height.  Just to include some frame of reference, it is 20 x 30 feet in l x w, again this is an underestimation. 

We are at OH-trevi.  The structure is at least 10 feet higher than the wall, that is an underestimation.  Since the last picture, a complete roof has been added. Attached pictures are from our upstairs room.  We were not notified or aware of the plans for their backyard.  The HOA only says...

Wanted to ask fellow TI'ers, our neighbor is making a massive backyard structure.  As the next door neighbor, do we have any way to approve/disapprove, do we have any recourse?  The size is overwhelming. I'm pretty sure if i put up anything, i would get notified, once I left a plant in a pot...

When we were in CT, the DD in the plaza around the corner was always busy.  DD has a huge following in CT and i can only remember one time that the DD drive through was empty, including nights over four years...
