LET US KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS LITTER FREE!
Take responsibility for yourself and be a good neighbor! Keep our streets and neighborhood trash and litter free! Make it a habit, be a good neighbor and do your part!

If each person did their own part (around the outside of their home including their little stretch of street in front of their house), what a better place this would be to live!

A clean environment/neighborhood makes people feel good about themselves. They will keep it clean. Some need to be reminded. Others need to be continually reminded. It takes time to change habits. Keeping your neighborhood clean is a habit that takes conscious effort.

KEEP OUR LAKES CLEAN
Please help us keep our community beautiful by NOT THROWING trash and debris around or into the lakes. In addition, there is NO SWIMMING, BOATING OR FISHING in the LAKES.

GOLF BALLS
Hitting golf balls is meant for the golf course only. It can cause damage not only to personal property but to people as well. Please respect your neighbors and refrain from hitting golf balls inside the community.

BASKETBALL GOALS
Basketball is a fun sport that many like to play. As a reminder, please make sure that all basketball goals are kept in an upright position in your driveway. Basketball goals should not be left in the street at anytime or left on the side of your home when not in use. Leaving Basketball goals in the street can be a nuisance to drivers in the community and a hazard should there be a need for an emergency vehicle to gain access to your street. Please note this is also a violation of deed restrictions and if you receive violation letters regarding this matter you could be sent to the attorney and be liable for those charges.

NO TRESPASSING ON RESIDENTS PRIVATE PROPERTY
There have been complaints about children crossing through residents’ private yards to get to the facilities. Please let children know that they cannot cross private property. If this should occur more than once, we ask homeowners’ to contact the proper authorities.

UNWANTED SOLICITORS
NO SOLICITING signs are posted throughout the entrances of the community. If this continues to be a growing issue at your residence and would like to place a NO SOLICITING sign in your yard, you may certainly do so. Please be sure that the sign is placed by your front door and place only (1) sign at your home.

If you feel in danger and think the solicitor will be in the community long enough to call the authorities, we suggest you call the local Police Department.

DEED RESTRICTION PROCESS FOR GENERAL VIOLATIONS
1st letter: Notifying owner of violation and giving them (30 days) to cease and desist. (Legally no further letters can go out for this violation until the (30 days) has expired.)

2nd letter: After the (30 days) has expired from the 1st letter a 2nd letter notifying the owner of violation will be sent. (Please note that depending on what the violation is the board can send the account to the attorney when the (30 days) has expired from this letter.)
