Any owner that would like to address the Board at an upcoming meeting needs to submit a Request to be Added to the Board Meeting Agenda.

Permits are required for all new construction, changes to the exterior of the home, additions or remodel, pools, pool cages, fences and enclosures, concrete flat work, pavers, water wells, and exterior paint change. Permit forms can be obtained at the P.O.A. office or downloaded from this website on the Documents page.
All vacant lots are to be mowed on a monthly basis.
Greenbelts are currently mowed twelve (12) times per year. During the rainy season the cycles may be altered. Additionally, greenbelts act as our drainage swales. These swales will hold water during the rainy season, as they are designed to do. During the rainy season the middle of the greenbelts are not able to be mowed due to standing water. Once the water has receded, mowing and maintenance will resume.
The annual assessment is due on October 1 of each year for the October through September fiscal year. The invoice is sent out with the annual meeting package in September.
No. Article 17 of the Declaration of Restrictions states "No tents and no temporary or accessory building or structure shall be erected without the written consent of the Grantor.".

When a violation is reported the Deed Restriction Committee (DRC) confirms the violation. The owner is mailed a first violation letter explaining the violation requesting compliance within 7 days. If the violation is not corrected within that time a second letter is sent advising the violation has not been corrected and failure to comply will result in the possibility of incurring attorney fees. If we are unable to obtain compliance, it is then sent to the Board of Directors to assess a fine, and then to the Compliance Committee for approval. Further non-compliance will result in legal action.
All of these items need to be out of view behind an approved enclosure or in your garage.
