Homeowners, board members have tales of grief
By Mike Butler | East Valley Tribune
When Kathy Fry moved to the Valley from the East Coast to guide her family’s small business in 2011, she and her husband fell in love with a small agricultural community in Tempe.
Built in 1979, the affluent 160-home neighborhood with 1-acre-plus lots has evolved over the years into an eclectic neighborhood of enthusiastic equestrians, plucky urban farmers and content suburbanites.
The Frys were good citizens and brushed up on Tempe building codes. They studied the covenants and took walks around the neighborhood to get a feel for what was acceptable and in-character before undertaking their first curb-appeal projects.
