Converting PDF

We have the CC&Rs in PDF format and would like to post them on this blog, however, we lack the software to do so.  Is there a neighborhood member that has the ability to convert a PDF to text that can help out?  If so, please contact us with your phone and property address. 

Yard Maintenance - We're Listening

We've heard your concerns and understand there are problems with our current yard maintenance services.  When many of us purchased our homes, we were informed through Beazer that the entire front yard was taken care of by the HOA.  However, at the time Beazer handed over the association to the Bord of Directors (BOD) we noticed that the contract for yard maintenance did not include all that they promised.  What was included was grass mowing, edging and occasional hedge trimming. 

A few years ago we recontracted with Sunspot to include more services for yard maintenance.  We were able to include services such as fertilizer and weed killer applications, cleaning out the creek, trimming the trees and weed removal.  It wasn't everything that Beazer promised but it was much more than what was set up. 

The problem that we see now is that some of these services may be sporadic or not effective.  We are again reviewing the contract and figuring out what our options are.  We are looking for what is practical, what works and also what the cost will be for those services.  We may remove some services or we may add some services.  If you have any input, we encourage you to send us your comments and/or attend the next HOA BOD meeting.  Also, if there are services that are missed that you feel should have been completed for your yard, please contact Sunspot so they can come out for yard maintenance.

With all of this is mind, PLEASE NOTE, that it is ultimately the homeowner's responsibility to keep the yards in a respectable manner and to abide by the HOA rules and regulations.

Sincerely,
BOD
