Welcome to Ransom Park
The Ransom Park Home Owner's Association (RPHOA) would like to extend a warm welcome to our
neighborhood and our website. The RPHOA is busy making sure that our neighborhood remains a
safe, attractive place to live. If you have an interest in becoming more involved in neighborhood affairs,
we welcome your participation. Please contact us by phone or e-mail (see the Board of Directors link on
the left side of the page). You may also contact us if you have questions about RPHOA By-laws, or other
issues concerning the neighborhood. We find Ransom Park a wonderful neighborhood. We hope that
you feel the same.
Reminder
The Traffic and Parking Commission Meeting is being held Monday, February 8, 2010, 3 pm at the
Metro Southeast Complex at Genesco Park 1417 Murfreesboro Rd. On the agenda is the issue of
erecting more No Parking Signs for Ransom Park. The Board has been working on this issue for years.
Please come to the meeting to show support and provide input if needed. You should have received a
postcard mailed by Councilman Duane Dominy for you to vote. See info below for more detail.
More No Parking/Speed Limit Signs, and Four Way Stop
If you would like to see more no parking signs on the streets of our subdivision please email the HOA
Board President at ransompark@yahoo.com. The President of the RPHOA has been working on this
issue for over a year with Metro Public Works and the help of Duane Dominy, to no avail. Although we
had an Association Meeting where Diane Marshall of Public works and Duane Dominy attended,
homeowners voted, and plotted out the No Parking Signs...we are again back at square one and a
petition (with 75% of the homeowners voting yes) will need to be signed for each street.
All the homes in our subdivision have sufficient parking provided in driveway and garage space for the
number of residents allowed to reside in these homes by law. If you feel that you need more space, you
may contact the board and request approval to have a driveway addition installed. Please see Metro
Code on this issue. Such paved or graveled parking area for private residential property shall not
exceed twenty-five percent of the total lot area. In any case where this provision is found to be in conflict
with any provision included in Title 17, Zoning, of the metropolitan code of laws, the zoning provision
shall prevail. No dirt, grass, or rock driveways are allowed in our subdivision. Please ask your visitors to
park in your driveways as not to violate the parking rules for our subdivision.
We are still working with Metro to get one or two more speed limit signs in our subdivision.
We've finally been granted a Four Way Stop at the corner of Ransom Place and Olive Circle! Great news!
It took a lot of time and effort. We are hoping this cuts down on the speeding occurring in our
subdivision and keeps our homeowners (especially our children) more safe. Thanks to all who were
involved in helping this project get completed.
Dues Raised
Association Dues have been raised to $63.00 per year. They were due January 5th. We will enforce late
fees, interest, and eventually a Lien on homes for non-payment. Please see Important Documents page
for the bill that was mailed out in December. If you did not receive a bill or misplaced it, please print the
form out and mail it with your payment to: RPHOA 2479 Murfreesboro Rd, Nashville, TN 37217.
A Newsletter (see RPHOA Newsletter page) and Proxies were also mailed out in December. If you can
not attend the meeting on January 28, 2010 to vote for a new Board of Directors, please fill out the form
(choosing ONE person to vote on your behalf) and mail the form in. The proxy can also be found on the
Important Documents page.
Maximum Speed Limits -Protecting Our Little
Ones-
In the absence of a posted speed limit sign duly authorized by the traffic and parking commission, and
except as provided by Sections 12.20.030,12.20.040 and 12.20.070 or any other section of the Metro
Codes Speed Restrictions, no person shall exceed the maximum lawful speed. The maximum speed
limit in the Ransom Park Subdivision is 30 miles per hour. We plan to have more patrol in the area. So
please be aware!
No Door-to-door Solicitation in Ransom Park
Don't hesitate to tell Door-to-door solicitors that there is a No-Solicitation sign posted on Ransom Place
street. Many times people pose as salesman and are burglars. It is much safer (than opening the
door) not to answer your door at all if you do not know the person knocking. However, you can also tell
them (through the door with the door closed) that there is "No Solicitation in Ransom Park".
House Squatting
If you see suspicious behavior or squatters at a home that you think is for sale, please call the police
immediately and email us at ransompark@yahoo.com. Please remember to report the address and
get as much detail as possible.
Overgrowth Across From Jack N the Box Finally
Resolved...
The area on the inside of the fence along Ransom Place is not common grounds for Ransom Park
HOA. The property - Villas at Ransom Park - belongs to General Construction, which has filed for
bankruptcy. RPHOA has been in contact with Metro Nashville Government on several occasions
regarding the overgrown area in Villas at Ransom Park. It looks like strength comes in numbers and
through many calling, Metro has finally taken care of this issue. However, if you continue to have any
issues with that area, please contact Bill Penn, of Metro Codes, regarding this property. You can also
contact Duane Dominy, our local city councilman. The more people we have contacting these folks, the
sooner they will act. Their contact info is below:
Section 6- Evergreen Ridge Paved
Great news! Looks like the city has finally paved Evergreen Ridge! From what we understand there were
some drain issues that needed to be resolved before this street could be paved. This issue is one of
the last things on the Board's list of things to do. It took years and a lot of tenacity. We worked hard to
keep this issue on the city's agenda. And they came through. Thank you, Metro!

Please note that these are just some of the many items that the Board has been dealing with in regards
to the safety and welfare of our residents. Other items include parking on the grass, disposal of trash,
unleashed animals, inoperable/unlicensed vehicles, yard areas that are not kept neat and clean,
repairing vehicles in a residential area, washing vehicles on the street and other Metro Code Violations.
We need all the assistance we can get from concerned residents. Your board of directors is
constantly chasing these issues, but we are just a small hand full of volunteers. Your help is key!
