New Development Standard Enforcement. In December 2016, the Board approved a new Development Standard regarding the height of shrubs located near a driveway within close proximity to the sidewalk which could possibly block line of sight if someone is exiting a driveway.
No shrub or planting which significantly obstructs sight lines of persons exiting a driveway in an automobile, golf car or the like, shall be allowed. Such shrubs must be pruned to a height of 42" or less to allow a safe exit. Development Standard Section 2.17.c.vii.
In order to give residents ample time to inspect their front landscaping for this situation and trim the shrubs, no violation will be sent for three months on this matter. Beginning May 1, the 42" height rule will be enforced.
Please check your shrubs so that the line of sight is not obscured by the height of your bushes and take action to prune them.

SCAMS are alive and well. It was reported to me that a club treasurer received an e-mail from the club president notifying the treasurer that he would need a check. The treasurer replied just let her know. She then received an e-mail from the president telling her the amount of the check, which was very close to the club's total bank account. The treasurer called the president who said he had never sent her any e-mails. Please take care and be careful.

It is the lime leaching out of the blocks of the buildings and walls. It may appear that there is more than normal with us having close to if not more than 2 inches of rain so far this year. We have treated this is the past, which seems to only last about a year. Treatment would normally take place in dry months of summer
