Spring updates

As spring has arrived, wanted to update neighbors on a few points:

1. HOA meeting held on March 20. About 40-50 attended. Main topic was election of our HOA board of directors. While Matt Ballain and Will Carroll were chosen in September to lead us through the turnover process, this regular election was needed to take us through HOA stuff in the next year. One person was nominated, but he chose not to run as both Matt and Will seem to be doing a good job in their first three months since taking over Jan. 1. So, they are once again our elected members, two of five on the board - which also entails three developer represents. Numerous topics such as covenants and compliance issues were brought up, also, and Main Street Management addressed those as needed. Remember, contact Randy Truitt if you have any questions/concerns/reports/etc.

2. Landscaping time is here. Our HOA members and Main Street Management hopes everyone remembers to take a look at your covenants to make sure you're in compliance. Landscaping needs to be done once the weather permits, including certain numbers of shrubs and at least one tree. Seeding backyards is also required. Don't forget - should be fun seeing everyone outside doing yardwork with the warmer weather!

3. A spring cleanup may be coming in mid-April. Main Street Management will update us on that, and word will be posted here as soon as possible.

4. Warmer weather also brings us a chance to see neighbors again and get more residents connected with what's happening. Neighborhood Watch is a big part of that, and we'll be journeying door-to-door before long to meet neighbors and let them know what safety efforts we have here. We want everyone to know about our NW window stickers, as well as our Pet Awareness Program where we keep a list of community pets in hopes of helping families reunite with any lost pets. Contact your Block Captain about all this, or NW Coordinator Mike Hoskins.

That's all for now. Hope everyone is well and has survived the winter. Look forward to seeing everyone around the neighborhood.

Reminder: HOA meeting March 20

Neighbors:
Don't forget. Mark your calendars. We will be having a community HOA meeting at 7 p.m. March 20 in the community clubhouse. Important items include discussing who will represent us on our five-member HOA board, which includes two homeowners (Will Carroll and Matt Ballain) and three developer-representatives (CP Morgan has two, CDI has one). We will also likely have updates on Neighborhood Watch, covenant enforcement, and Architectural Review Committee items. Our property management company, Main Street Management of Lafayette, will also attend with updates.

This will be a time for you to ask questions, and also to hear about the hard work both Will and Matt have been involved with since being elected in September.

Please also remember: if you're not currently on the Email Loop, please contact Mike Hoskins to get connected. We want to make sure you have the most up-to-date information, alerts, notices, and such on crime alerts, lost or found pets, general community or neighborhood news. You can also contact Mike to get a Neighborhood Watch sticker for your window, which we hope will send a message out that we are alert and watching for anything or anyone suspicious!

Hope to see you all at the March meeting!
