2009 Budgets. The 2009 Budgets have been approved for Arbor Roses, Cottages, Terraces, Chateaus, and Rowhomes. All budgets can be downloaded from the Documents page.

 

Lighting Safety Reminder for Arbor Roses residents. Please take time to check the light bulb in the alley behind your home. If the bulb is burnt out it is your responsibility to replace it. All bulbs should be replaced with 13watt compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs. These seem to have a longer life span. Every homeowner is responsible to ensure that lights in the alleys behind the attached Rowhomes and detached homes are working. Also this didn't make it on the website? Maybe I didn't see it.

 

CC&R Reminder: 4.8 Animals: No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred, kept or permitted within any Lot other than a reasonable number of domestic household pets which are not kept, bred or raised for commercial purposes and which are reasonably controlled so as not to be a nuisance. Any inconvenience, damage or unpleasantness caused by such pets, including noise, shall be the responsibility of the respective Owners thereof. No dogs shall be permitted to roam the Property unattended, and all dogs shall be kept on a leash while outside a Lot. Please remember that it is your responsibility to clean up after your pet.

New Resolution. The Utility Resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors on 10/21/08, which you can now download from the Documents page. The Utility Resolution will commence on January 1, 2009. If any assessments remain unpaid by an Owner for more than three (3) months from the date due for its payment, the Board shall send a notice to the owner informing them the internet service, fitness room and pool fobs will be deactivated. A disconnect charge will be applied to the homeowner's account. For more information, please refer to the newly adopted resolution. A past due account will need to be paid in full before to service can be restored.

 

"NO TRESPASSING" sign is posted at the Pond. The Board of Directors have installed no trespassing signs to the pond area. This has been done to keep kids safe, prolong the life of our landscaping and reduce damage to pond equipment. The Board of Directors will be issuing compliance warnings to trespassers found in the pond area. Hopefully this will discourage people from loitering and playing in the pond and surrounding area. This is to protect all of us financially, and most importantly, keep our kids safe.
