The grounds around Kimberly Bois' condo are filled with daisies, bearded irises, lavender, and hydrangeas … a piece of floral serenity that's getting Bois sued. The Atlantic Pointe condo association wants her to pull up the perennials, and since Oct. 24 has been fining her first $25 per day and then $50 per day for every day the flowers remain. But the New Hampshire woman says she planted the flowers with permission from the developer, before there was a condo board at the Portsmouth complex. (Also, Bois' late mother helped her with the planting.)
Last month, the board notified Bois that a lien had been placed on her condo for $4,500 in unpaid fines; it also wants her to pay the attorney's fees now that the board is suing her. Instead, she hired her own attorney, along with a neighbor who is getting flak for adding stone walls and a patio around his condo. The attorney for the condo board says that the grounds are a common area over which the board has jurisdiction, and adds, "The practical implication is that what one person thinks is beautiful, another person thinks is horrible."
