Fireworks are Not Permitted


Per City Ordinance, NO fireworks are allowed within the city limits. For more information, please contact Fire Administration at 972-237-8300. If you see questionable activity please contact the police (911) immediately, as the association does not have the ability to enforce City Ordinance violations when the violation occurs. The following link has more information on fireworks ordinances.



After the fact: Owners captured on video surveillance shooting off fireworks on association common property can face potential suspension of amenities privileges. All video surveillance will be reviewed by onsite management and the Board of Directors. Additionally, fines could be imposed.

Do not call and report fireworks to the management company, please call 911 immediately.
HOA IMPROVEMENTS
Over the past few years the HOA has updated the tennis courts (installing a new surface), clubhouse improvements to include new paint and scraped popcorn ceiling, new gutters were installed, a new sign was placed at the entrance and we re-striped the parking lot. We have also maintained the pool, updated furniture by the pool, updated surveillance around the clubhouse, updated the website, and installed dog waste stations.

Please contact our offices with any ideas you might have for capital improvements around the association. The Board of Directors would love to hear from you. Last year we requested all owners submit ideas via email by March 31, 2019 and we only received a reply from one owner. Please speak out so your Board knows what you want.

This year we are asking owners to please send emails with ideas by January 10, 2020 . We would like to be able to present these ideas to your Board so they can address and discuss at their upcoming meeting in January. We would like to be able to have plans in place for 2020 to announce at the Annual Meeting in February.

Landscape Update

Our landscape vendor has been out over the past two weeks working on the common areas. The association had some irrigation repairs done so that we can better water the beds by the clubhouse. The vendor informed us that he pruned back all of the roses, mulched all the way around the clubhouse, turned and cleaned out the beds, planted sixteen flats of pansies in the beds at the sign and at the front of the clubhouse. The two beds on the side entry of the clubhouse by the pool gate were only mulched since there are roses in them for the spring and summer. Our vendor noted that the plants blend into the mulch color and once the flowers get settled they will being to bloom. He also gave them blood meal which is a very good organic material that will assist in getting huge blooms and works as a good pest repellent. Below are some images of the work in progress and final product.
