John Davis Ferron and his wife moved to the Village of St. James in 2020.
They loved their new home, including two “very nice looking cranes” already in their front planter. The birds were placed there by the previous owner and had been there for years.
Then came the dreaded knock on the front door by Community Standards. An anonymous complaint had been received about the birds.
The couple grudingly removed the cranes.
“However, many of our neighbors who also have cranes and other decor in there front yards are unaffected,” he said.
Ferron said it’s a perfect example as to why anonymous complaints should be eliminated.
The Village of St. James is located in Community Development District 8. That board of supervisors has decided to delay any discussion of potentially ending the acceptance of anonymous complaints, due to a longstanding legal battle over a little white cross in the Village of Tamarind Grove.

More and more Villagers say it’s time to stop accepting anonymous complaints.
