FirstService Residential sincerely apologizes to the residents who were not able to attend the March Board meeting because the doors locked after 6:15 pm. The office building is owned and managed by Hillwood Commons and they try their best to accommodate FirstService’s needs by leaving the doors unlocked after hours.
Friendly reminder, open session begins at 6:00 pm. Residents are encouraged to arrive 10-15 minutes early to sign in and fill out a speaker card. Speaker cards are used for homeowners to ask questions related to the community as a whole. The speaker cards will be read aloud, addressed by the Board of Directors, and recorded in the meeting minutes.
The next Board meeting is on April 20th at 6:00 pm at FirstService Office. The official meeting notice and meeting agenda will be posted and sent from the Connect Portal.

- Two ADA toilets are being replaced next week
- The outdoor shower is being repaired next week
- The restrooms are still unavailable as the ADA toilets in the women's and men's restrooms require replacement.

To uphold the beauty and property value of the association, the Board of Directors and Firstservice Residential management team are taking the appropriate action to ensure that the common areas are safe and aesthetically appealing. During the improvements and repairs, your patience and understanding are appreciated.
2023 Pool season
- Preparing for pool season, the 2023 Pool Access Agreement Form will launch soon. To receive faster assistance, homeowners, residents, and renters must register to the Connect Resident Portal. The Connect Portal is the only database Firstservice Residential employees use to verify, assist, and contact residents.
- If you had Bluetooth access last year and you purchased a new phone, you will need to request access again.
- If you had Bluetooth access last year and have the same phone, agreeing to abide by the 2023 pool rules is only required.
- When the 2023 Pool Acces Agreement Form is available, residents will have the following options:
- Request complimentary Bluetooth access up to 4 devices (16 years old and older)
- Purchase one key fob in the amount of $35.00 (Authorize FirstService to charge HOA account and pay the balance in full within 30 days of the charge being posted). Only one keyfob per household is permitted.
- Exchange the previously used white, rectangular pool key card for the new circular key fob for free.
-
Register to the Connect Portal at www.crawfordfarmshoa.com and enable your email communication preferences to receive updates about pool access and other community updates.

This flyer is not to request pool access, but to prepare the community for pool season and provide faster service. | |

Landscape Committee Update
-
The landscape committee looks forward to showcasing the winners of the "Yard of the Month" this year! From the end of April until the end of September, the landscape committee will be granting two Yard of the Month winners. Each month for the next 6 months, one townhome and one single-family home will be featured on the HOA website and the community newsletter, and given a gift card from a local nursery or hardware store.
Grass Rules and Spring Planting
Grass Rules
- Keep 3-4 inches tall - don't over mow
- Start a compost pile! Easy to make out of pallets. Add all your greens, eggs, coffee grounds, tea bags, grass clippings, and other plants you pull up (except weeds!)
- Water late at night or early morning - 3 am-6 am is great or late at night to avoid evaporation during the day.
- If your bill is really high, check any drip lines (squirrels love them) or water during the day to check where a leak could be.
- Do all your watering in 10 minutes blocks, repeat each section 2x in a rotation, and then only water 2x a week if it is really hot - otherwise, 1x a week is likely enough.
Spring Planting
- Time to plant perennials and seasonal annuals
- New trees and shrubs before May - if you go into May you'll need to mulch really well
- Read the labels re: shade vs. sun plants!
- Full sun - plant it on the southwest side. East side - good morning sun, but it might not be enough.
- Prepare your soil!
- Popular perennials - ferns, hostas, dwarf Mexican petunias (they multiply!), coneflower (bugs love them), rain lilies (bloom after it rains or after heavy watering), hardy hibiscus, salvia, daylilies, coxcomb, hyacinth vine (covers the fence and you can eat the beans - doesn't do damage b/c it dies back), Madagascar spinach (edible and climbs the fence).

Friendly Reminders:
-
Inspections R Us is the compliance company that conducts compliance drives twice a month. One picture of the area in question is captured and attached to a compliance letter. The general manager reviews the violation letters and submits them to be mailed to the home address and billing address of absentee owners. The ACC committee are volunteered homeowners who review and vote on ACC requests. The ACC is unaware of homeowners' violations and can only review the supporting documents that are uploaded to the online ACC applications.
- Compliance dates will automatically be extended for homeowners who have submitted an ACC request to remedy their open violation. No need to worry while you seek ACC approval and schedule time to complete your project!
