Point Vivian Park Community
Common Property
An Elegant Design, a Troubling Past, an Uncertain Future

Objectives and Goals

  1. Document and preserve key events threatening the system of common property at the Point Vivian Park.
  2. Clarify the issues and decisions surrounding the two recent lawsuits addressing Point Vivian common property; Holliday Trust v PVPA Corporation board and Pratt/Johnson v PVPA, and corporate board.

Documented Management

Lack of a documented management system to address the maintenance and use of the PV Park "common property."

Value of Common Property

Waterfront lot owners and off-river lot owners have very different perspectives and real value perceptions of the common property.

Off-River Owners

Off-river lot owners without common property river access have dramatic reductions in basic property value and enjoyment of the river.

Riverfront Owners

Riverfront lot owners may resent paying taxes/maintenance fees on property they do not use or enjoy. In addition, river lot owners adjacent to river access common property may resent the noise and disruption of its use.

Examining events that threatened the common property
and two court victories that upheld members rights
