What’s Happening
· A big thank you to everyone who showed up for the Annual Meeting in September. Your interest and input in our development are always appreciated. Meeting Highlights can be viewed HERE.
· Thank you to our departing Board Members - William N., for his service for the past 3 years as Trustee and President, and Stratos T., who had to resign after 2 years as Trustee. They were both critical in many important decisions made on behalf of the Association.
· Please welcome our new Trustees, Jennifer G. (Castleton) and Nancy K. (Brittany). Their fresh ideas will be a welcome addition.
· Our newly elected Officers are: President, Connie C.; Vice-President, Mike R.; Secretary, Nina V.; and Treasurer, Chuck V.
· In mid-October 2025, we will give the Brittany gazebo area a fresh look. The overgrown bushes will be removed, and two burning bushes will be added, along with new perennials. Mulch and decorative stone will also be added to the landscaping.
· Overgrowth along the walking trail: Association members will trim back the growth on Saturday, October 4th, with a rain date of October 5th. The Board welcomes any owners who would like to help to please gather at the Brittany Gazebo at Noon. The Woods of Windsor Pointe HOA may also help since they use the trail. Please bring any trimming tools you may find helpful, though bringing tools is not necessary to participate.
· Did you know we have a “No Trim” list posted on our website at the bottom of the Contacts page? If you prefer to trim your own shrubbery, you can opt out from the scheduled trimming. You can contact us via email or phone if you are interested.
· The Reserve Fund is fully funded through 2026.

Our Featured Rule of the Quarter
Rule 1/1/2013_A: January 1, 2013, Parking During Winter Months
It has come to the attention of the Board of Directors that there is a problem with on street parking during snowplow season on Keats and Castleton. Vehicles should not be parked on the street while snowplowing is in progress. Any vehicle impeding the ability of our contractors to plow will be towed at the homeowners expense. The contractors are not responsible for contacting homeowners to move their vehicles. Please be courteous and insure that your vehicle(s) are not blocking access during
plowing.
Please take some time to review ALL our rules. Here is the link.
DID YOU KNOW
...that we have something in our Covenants regarding Owners Responsibilities? When in doubt you can always contact us.
Section 4.2. Owner's Responsibilities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, all maintenance of the Residential Unit shall be the responsibility of the Owner, and each Owner shall maintain and keep in good repair such property and improvements such as decks, patios, front porches with railings, and screened‐in porches. With the exception of lawn mowing, trimming shrubs or bushes, and weed maintenance and fertilization of the grass, the Owner is responsible for all maintenance and landscape of the yard areas located on the Lot. This maintenance and landscape responsibility includes tree planting, tree trimming, and replacement of any and all shrubs, bushes, plantings, and trees located on the Lot. All replacement costs for shrubs, bushes, plantings, and trees will be at the sole expense of the Owner. The Owner is also responsible for the maintenance of landscape beds located on the Lot, including weed removal and fertilization in the landscape beds.
The Owner is also responsible for maintenance, repair, and replacement of the patio constructed immediately adjacent to the Residence on the Lot.
Any conflict between these provisions and any other provisions of the Declaration and Bylaws will be interpreted in favor of this amendment clarifying maintenance, repair and replacement responsibility for the Residential Unit's driveway, patio and yard areas on the Lot. The invalidity of any part of the above provision does not impair or affect in any manner the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provision. Upon the recording of this amendment, only Owners of record at the time of the filing have standing to contest the validity of this amendment, whether on procedural, substantive, or any other grounds. Any challenge to the validity of this amendment must be brought in the court of common pleas within one year of the recording of this amendment.

Are you replacing your roof this year? Our homes should have Timberline (GAF) Natural Shadow Weathered Wood Algae Resistant Architectural Shingles. Ask your installer for this or something that is about the same color to get it quickly approved by the Board.
Replacing your siding? In our Covenants, regarding "Exterior Uniformity", it does not specifically state what colors you should use. All we ask is that you consider the existing colors used by your neighbors and consider something neutral, earthy and light so as not to stand out. Here are some siding color examples.
As with ALL improvements or modifications made to the exterior of your home, you should always notify the Board of Trustees to secure approval before proceeding with any work. Your cooperation is appreciated by the Board and your neighbors.
