SUMMER 2013

Landscaping:  Pruning of shrubs throughout the community was completed prior to the end of Summer when drier weather conditions accommodated scheduling. Please submit a Resident Work Order for any shrubs and foliage that may be need additional pruning on an individual basis. Homeowners and residents may not put down mulch with personal plantings due to its nature for termite attraction and breeding. Personal plantings are limited to the footprint of each townhome lot. No planting of flowers, shrubs, or trees should occur in the Common Area or they will be subject for removal. Always submit an Architectural Request for approval before planting and a Maintenance Agreement may be required. Aerating and reseeding the lawns will occur sometime during the Fall when conditions are appropriate.

Tree Trimming:  The second phase of community wide trimming and removal of trees is almost complete with a few remaining areas to be addressed. Please submit a Resident Work Order for additional trimming that may be needed on an individual basis should any limbs approach, or touch, roofs, gutters, or the exterior sides of townhomes.

Front Railings:  The front railing project continues to move forward. The budget for masonry replacements for this year has been completely utilized and will resume next year. Front railings will continue to be addressed through the Fall as weather conditions allow for scheduling. The project is almost 75% complete. As a reminder, the progression of the project continues to be dependent primarily as finances allow.

Parking:  Complaints have been received regarding parking. Residents should not use Visitor parking spaces on a daily basis and is prohibited. Each unit is allocated two assigned parking spaces. Residents or guests parked in assigned spaces of others, on grass, in designated illegal areas, on any main Homeplace street or areas which would cause partial blocking of streets, or driveways, may be subject to towing at the expense of the vehicle owner. Overflow parking is only available at the lower rear of the property.

Sanitation:  Trash and recycle containers still continue to remain in front of townhomes days after pickup. Should trash and recycle containers continue to remain in front of the units homeowners will be notified and subject to fines. It is expected every week to have all trash and recycle containers returned to the rear of the unit, not the side of the unit, by 7pm, the day of pickup. Trash and recycle containers are to be stored upright in an orderly fashion with lids secured at all times to prevent attraction of wild or stray animals. Where space is available, trash and recycle containers may be placed underneath rear decks.

Reminders:  The Board of Directors usually meet on the fourth Tuesday every other month. All homeowners who wish to discuss a community concern at one of the scheduled Board meetings are asked to please contact the management company one week in advance to be added to the agenda. As always, please refer to the guidelines that are addressed most often regarding Homeplace at Adams Farm for non-compliance located under the Community Guidelines > General tab.
