Back Yard Construction

Just a reminder to all, before you add on anything to your property that was not there when you bought it, you need written approval from the HOA before you begin construction. Yes, you do need to get permits if the City requires one, but you need HOA permission due to deed restrictions as evidenced in the CC&R. Failure to get written approval from the HOA could result in having to remove whatever was constructed at your expense and return the property to its original state.

Please submit drawings prior to construction and get written approval from the HOA before you build anything, including storage buildings or awnings. 

PayPal Buttons for 2017

We have changed the PayPal buttons to the right to reflect the changes in HOA assessments and which include the credit card fee that PayPal charges us.

Reminder: For those who use Bill Pay through your bank, please remember to change it to the 2017 amounts of $162 (with security light)or $172 (without security light)

 

 

Christmas/New Year Schedule

Christmas – The Office and Maintenance will be closed from Friday, December 23 through Monday, December 26th.  We will reopen the Office and Maintenance on Tuesday, December 27th.

 

New Year – The Office and Maintenance will be closed from December 30 to January 1, 2017. The Office and maintenance will reopen on January 2nd. We will pick up trash on Monday, January 2, 2017 as usual.

Freeze Warning – For Sunday and Monday Nights, December 18 and 19

Please make sure that your outside water faucets are properly wrapped to prevent freezing during the low temperatures over the weekend. Townhouses which have outside washer-dryer hookups also need to either heat the room or make sure the pipes are properly insulated.

Make sure that you disconnect any hose attached to the faucet before thermally wrapping them. The water that remains between the hose connection and the actual valve (which is inside the wall) will freeze and fracture the pipe after the valve itself; learned that the hard way.

Home Depot, Lowes and other home stores sell foam faucet covers fairly cheap, like $3 each.

Change in Board of Directors

Mary Hartman, Board Secretary, has resigned effective November 29, 2016. Mary was kind enough to take on the role of Secretary following the death of Dotti Tunnell in June 2014. We would like to thank Mary for her years of service to the HOA community. The Board has decided to wait until the 2017 election before appointing a Secretary, since we appoint officers following the Board elections. In the interim, we will have an acting Board Secretary to handle those duties.

At the December 1st Board meeting, the Board appointed Bea Beltran to fill the remainder of Karen McCrary’s term following her resignation in June 2016. We would like to welcome Dr. Beltran to the Board; her term will end in March of 2019.
