ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting will be held on May 12, 2004.  The location is poolside at 7 PM.  Management will mail unit owners information that includes an agenda, proxy form, 2003 annual minutes, candidate form for the board, and tax resolution information.  Owners not able to attend are asked to fill out a proxy form and mail to Management.

 

SURVEY ON EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE

The survey to owners regarding the earthquake insurance coverage has resulted in a majority of owners supporting the continuance of earthquake insurance.  Thank you for your response to the questionnaire.  The CC&R’s require a vote/amendment to discontinue the earthquake coverage and the question-naire was used to see if the vote would pass before legal fees were expended to prepare an amendment.

REMINDER ON COMMON AREAS:

All areas outside the front and back of unit gates are neighborhood COMMON AREA!  Owners, residents, are not allowed to alter, remove, change, destroy anything in the COMMON AREAS of the complex.  This includes signs, numbers and plants (dead or alive).  Nothing maybe stored in the common area by residents.

 

 

 

STORAGE OF PERSONAL ITEMS:

Personal items used in the Common Area, such as the pool/spa area, driveway, etc., must be removed after each use and upon leaving the area.  Storage of personal property in the common area is prohibited.  Appropriate uses of personal property in the common area is allowed but don’t forget to remove the property/equipment and store it in your private areas and not the common area.


 


NEW HOUSE NUMBERS:

Since the complex was painted during September of 2002, new house numbers have gone up.  Each unit will have unit numbers by the unit walkway and/or garage.  Uniformity of unit numbers assists delivery persons and guests to locate the desired home.  Additional, owners purchased numbers placed on the front entrance gate to the unit are acceptable but do not replace the uniform numbers on each walkway entrance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


    

 

CHANGES TO COMMON AREAS/BUILDINGS

The Board of Directors must approve any change to the exterior of units.  Submit your request in writing to management by the 15th of that month and allow the Board thirty days to reply. 

 

The Board is reluctant to permit changes in Common Areas that would alter the current design of the complex.  However, improvements that enhance the quality of life and value of property is the Boards objective.  Changes require permits from the city and may become the maintenance responsibility of the unit owner.

SOCIAL EVENT

There was discussion at the March 10th board meeting about having a social event July 4th.  The locations are being discussed.  This would give residents the opportunity to socialize with neighbors and enjoy the holiday.  Organization is needed along with suggestions from residents.  More discussion will occur at the April board meeting.
