Ken reviewed and said we are in the black for both cottage and overall association
3. Homeowner Input
Seven Homeowners present.
Question Whey did we receive a bill for a July assessment? Answer Cottage Collection homes
pay twice a year for yard maintenance.
Comment H/O said his Cottage Collection yard was not being edged and weeded in a
satisfactory manner and that he has a sprinkler that is not working. Answer We are on a
contract schedule so we only pay for so many mows and edges per year. They need to spread
that out to make sure the yards are kept in a tidy manner and we keep to our contract. The
sprinkler issue will be looked into.
Comment A H/O brought a complaint about their neighbors backyard being overgrown.
Answer A letter will be sent as a reminder for them to maintain.
Comment A H/O brought a complaint about people not cleaning up after their dogs,
specifically on her yard and driveway. Answer They were told that the HOA can’t really police
this activity but a reminder will be in the next newsletter.
Comment A question was raised about on street parking. Answer On public streets the
Washington County laws would apply. On private streets the HOA rules will apply.
Comment H/O said the HOA meeting signs are a helpful reminder. Board stated that the
meeting agenda will be posted on the website prior to each meeting.
Question If you are touching up paint on the house do you need ARC approval? Answer You
do not need approval to paint the same color.
