SILVER LAKES WEST HOA

mysheffieldhoa.com |www.facebook.com/sheffieldatthecrossings

New Homeowner/Resident By virtue of the fact you own a home in the Silver Lakes West (a.k.a. Sheffield) community you are a MEMBER of the Silver Lakes West Homeowners Association Inc. Your association is a Florida registered, not for Profit Corporation and has an elected Board of Directors (here after referred to as the Board) made up of nine of your neighbors. The duties and responsibilities of the Board include overseeing the operation of association business to include maintenance of community common areas (retention ponds, etc.). In addition the board has a fiduciary responsibility to the homeowners to enforce the conditions and restrictions outlined in the DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS. (As a resident of our Deed Restricted community, this declaration details things you can and cannot do with/on/your property.) The two major areas of concern to homeowners and the Board are Covenants which specify things which are not permitted in the subdivision and Covenants which specify written approval is required prior to commencement. *This booklet was designed and intended to be used as a quick easy reference guide to help you, the homeowner, answer commonly asked questions and aide in making decisions regarding the community covenants. We have also included neighborly notes indicated by a d and helpful HOA Reminders on items pertaining to our Covenants indicated by a F .

Cordially yours,

Board of Directors *This booklet does not replace nor supersede the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions.
