Default Air parks and gliders

I have been reading some of the comments made on another thread and thought that it would be best discussed as a specific topic.
Over thirty years ago my wife and I moved from Miami to Vero Beach. We immediately started flying off our own strip with the help of a fellow resident who supplied the tow plane. Each property owner had an equal vote on the airport operation and there were no property owners who were not aviation oriented. As time went on there was never a problem with flying gliders at FD25. As time has evolved there are non aviation oriented property owners who now have homes on the strip. Each time when a new homeowner arrives we have a discussion and present the new owners with a copy of the bylaws and inform them of the main purpose of the community. As to date we have had no problem, nor do we expect one. I do know of a fellow airstrip owner that spent more than 30K protecting his strip from legal challenges brought about by some surrounding propert owner who opposed him of using his own property for a legal airstrip.
Currently we operate our club, the Treasure Coast Soaring Club from a public use privately owned strip. Development is growing rapidly within 1/2 mile from our strip, we have had no problems yet, I guess the day will come when complaints come from some unhappy resident.
