There is a loosely written set of Covenants and Restrictions, but they are not really enforceable due to them being improperly recorded back in the 80s. There is no HOA like most people know, only an Airpark Association whose only capacity is to maintain the runway.

The VASI was a single lens (three color) type, however the lens colors were not in accordance with the AIM.
The FAA said they could do nothing because this is a
private airport.
I was the neighborhoods neutral neighbor when I moved here. Everyone else was already soured on this guy, and they hoped I could bring him back into the fold. They made me the Chairman of the association, and made him the vice-chairman in an effort to give him input and make him feel loved. He showed up at one meeting, demanding that the neighborhood install high intensity strobes on the runway, install taxiway lighting, and several other measures. When his proposals were voted down he got mad, left, and has not been back to any meetings. I was still neutral on my feelings toward him until about 6 weeks ago. He sent me a rambling email with various threats, and I just don't cotton to that.

This was one of my considerations... that he is just an ******* looking to provoke people. Although we could just ignore him and hope he will stop, he has already poisoned the neighborhood. His personal vendetta against Jay is already 'over the top' and has other neighbors worried that this will end up in bloodshed.
Crazy Bob does not drink,
afaik, but Jay does. As a further example of Bob's provocations: Jay is from this area, but had been living in KY with his wife. His wife was killed in an unfortunate boating accident, and Jay was at the wheel at the time. As you may expect, Jay slips in and out of depression and alcoholism on a regular basis. He moved back to his home area a few years ago in an attempt to flee the area of his painful memories. Somehow, Bob found out about this. And now Bob routinely uses this as ammunition against Jay; calling him a wife killer, murderer, alky, etc.
Is it a stretch to think that one day Jay will snap and either shoot Bob, or will be shot by Bob when he tries to choke the crazy out of him?
