DRAFT: President Letter

Stonebrook Homeowners,

The Stonebrook HOA board is addressing an important issue with our covenants.  Sorry about the confusion regarding the annual meeting date. We have become aware that some residents who wanted to attend missed the meeting.  We will be holding a special member meeting on September 18, 2019 at 8pm to continue the discussion regarding the process of modernizing and updating our Stonebrook Homeowners By-Laws and Protective Covenants.

The following 4 nominations were made for the 3 open board positions.

  • Michael Maloney

  • Logan King

  • Ted Heckathorn

  • Anna Snarr

Come to our meeting on September 18, 2019 to meet our nominees and cast your vote. It is time to update and modernize our Homeowners Association By-Laws and Protective Covenants to best protect our subdivision.  Some believe our current covenants leave the Home Owners Association and residents open to liability on the whole of our neighborhood especially regarding the safety of sidewalks. It has been brought to our attention as a result of our recent increase policy review that we will have a significant increase in our insurance costs to cover our liability. We need participation from a large majority of residents to address this issue. Every homeowner should take an interest to understand and vote on the upcoming changes.

Reminders:

Trees - Many homes in our neighborhood are missing trees in the park strip. All homes are expected to have at least one tree in the park strip.  Many homes look best with at least two depending on the linear feet of your property adjacent to the street. The trees in our neighborhood are a pinnacle feature of our community and add to the value of all our homes.  If you are missing trees or even just need to add a tree to your park strip, please do so in a timely manner.

Barking Dogs - Complaints are being filed about loud and constantly barking dogs. Our covenants read

“No noxious or offensive activity shall be carried on upon any lot, nor shall anything be done thereon which may be or may become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood.” We all love our dogs and understand that they can be some work and responsibility. If you have a constantly barking dog please remedy the situation or you may receive a violation.

Thank you, 

Stonebrook HOA Board
