Fined the Henderson family $200 for a garden gnome deemed "inconsistent with neighborhood character." The gnome was 11 inches tall. The approved maximum? 12 inches. The gnome was compliant. Colleen fined them anyway because she "didn't like its expression."

$4,300 earmarked for the Holiday Block Party somehow became a "landscaping consultation fee" paid to her cousin's company. The block party was downgraded to a folding table with store-brand lemonade. Children cried.

Denied THREE patio extension requests in Q2 alone, citing "aesthetic disruption." Meanwhile, Colleen's own 400-square-foot patio expansion was approved unanimously at a meeting where she was the only board member present. At 6AM. On a Saturday.

Changed the approved mailbox color from Eggshell (#F0EAD6) to Ivory (#FFFFF0) without a community vote. 14 families were fined for non-compliance before the change was even announced. Total fines collected: $2,800. Coincidentally, this matches the cost of Colleen's new driveway pavers.

Banned all trampolines citing "liability concerns." When residents pointed out the CC&Rs contain no trampoline provision, Colleen amended the CC&Rs herself and backdated the amendment. Multiple witnesses confirm the document smelled like fresh ink.

The ARC hasn't approved a single exterior paint color that isn't beige since Colleen took office. 47 submissions for "Agreeable Gray" — the number one selling paint color in America — have been rejected as "too bold."

Residents who've requested copies of board meeting minutes have been told they're "under review" for eleven consecutive months. When Karen Delacroix filed a FOIA request, Colleen reminded her that HOAs aren't government entities. She then fined Karen $150 for "aggressive correspondence."

Changed pool hours from 8AM–9PM to 10AM–4PM because she "could hear children from her living room." Her house is four blocks from the pool. This was presented as a "noise reduction initiative." The pool was later reserved exclusively for "board wellness retreats" on all weekends in July.

Colleen has won the Shady Pines Chili Cook-Off for three consecutive years. She is also the sole judge. When residents proposed a blind tasting format, the motion was tabled because Colleen claimed a "conflict of scheduling." The cook-off is always on the same Saturday.

Rather than address any of these charges, Colleen launched her own website at shadypineshoa.org calling us "a small but vocal group." She also threatened to fine anyone who visits this site. Read it. It proves every point we're making.
