THE PRESIDENT’S LETTER
(from the Settlers Village HOA Board) Every newsletter contains the gentle reminder that keeping your yard maintained is one of the least expensive methods available to help both your personal and the neighborhood’s property values. This past summer, water was in short supply to keep things and trim back trees, grass (or weeds) and bushes especially where they affect common right-of-ways. It is unfortunate that several properties took advantage of the situation and allowed simple maintenance to lag with little to no effort to try and keep things neat. While the HOA has been lenient in 2011 in regards to yard maintenance, the management company will be instructed for 2012 to bring the leniency practice to an end. Whether water is available or not, an effort must be made to maintain the yard and that includes weeding, mowing and trimming. It is a contractual requirement of all property owners to Settlers Village to maintain their property. Other simple things you can do are to pick up litter from your yard and fronting street(s), put your trashcans and other objects, such as children’s’ toys, out of sight when not needed. Also, fences must be maintained whether it is a single broken board or a whole section hanging askew. As more delinquent properties approach legal resolutions from their owners or the banks or the Settlers Village HOA itself, money will be freed to push on yard enforcement. And there are charges to the property owner if the HOA has to send letters or force mow a property. So please make the effort. And if you get a letter from the property management company, please do not ignore it. The Board will be reviewing each and every one of the noted deed restriction violations. If a resolution has not been made or if there has been no contact with PCMI, the attorney will have to be involved so that your Board
received. The Board reviews these accounts closely with multi-year delinquencies and violated pay plans given the closest scrutiny. protect the neighborhood to the best of its ability and that includes, unfortunately, debt collection of maintenance fees. If you are signed for in your house sale contract. The supplemental costs of interest, additional letters and attorney fees adds up very quickly.
