Board Notes
Within the last year or so, many homeowners have had their roofs replaced. A part of the replacement included the metal flashing along the edge of the roof. The Board and Architectural Committee have been patient giving homeowners the opportunity to paint the flashing the color of the house trim. The Board and Architectural Committee have decided the time has come to tell homeowners that it is necessary to do this. Noncompliance letters are beginning to be sent to homeowners who have not painted the flashing. This is the type of noncompliance which the Board turns over to the attorney if it is not done within the time limits noted in your noncompliance letter, unless you make arrangements with the Board for an extension. A verbal request to Vision Property Management is not sufficient (Vision does not make the determination for extensions- the Board does); you must send a letter to the Board or attend a Board meeting as noted in your letter to be granted an extension. Thank you for your cooperation!
