Good afternoon, Sonoma Verde!
I hope everyone is having a great week and is ready for the weekend! As always here in the Manager's Musings, we are chock full of updates to keep you in the loop!
Construction
We are getting multiple questions regarding the construction at the entry at Via Toscana and SH 205.
We contacted the City to get an update, and the work being done is within the easement on the property, extending the current sewer line out to 550. We will try to provide updates as information is made available to us; however, this project is being done by the city and is not something the Association or developer has a hand in. You may reach out to
Lisa Palomba with the City of McLendon-Chisholm if you have additional questions or concerns.
Fencing
Many residents have asked for 8-foot fencing in the community. Currently, the documents only allow for 6-foot fencing. I have asked the Board to consider amending the documents, and I await their response. We are reviewing the documents with the Association’s legal counsel for any changes or updates based on new legislation. Please be patient as we work through this process.
Landscape
Seasonal color is scheduled to be planted in the coming weeks. So get ready to see the results of your voting around the community!
Pool Opening
Typically, the opening day would be Memorial Day weekend, but many of you have asked to open the pool earlier than we have in the past. We are currently waiting for a final inspection from the Health Department and confirmation on an opening day from the Board of Directors. Once everything is finalized, we will share that information with you as soon as it is confirmed.
We anticipate having pool monitors staffed again this year, during peak hours and weekends, so look forward to being greeted by a smiling face to welcome you to the pool.
Access Cards
As we await opening day at the pools, please make sure you have your access cards and confirm that they are working before getting everyone ready to get in the pool. If you have issues or need to replace your card, you can reach out to
Ryan, and he will be happy to help you!
Sports Courts and Playground
We have recently seen some vandalism and damage at the courts and playground. Please help us ensure the community common areas and amenities look their best by taking these steps:
- Do not dunk or hang on the basketball hoops.
- Do not stretch or lean on the tennis net.
- Do not use sidewalk chalk or markers in/on the common areas or playground equipment.
- Pick up your trash and dispose of your trash as you leave the courts.
- If you have your pets with you, please pick up any poop and throw it in the trash cans.
Assessments
Second-quarter assessments are due this month. You can pay
online, by mail, or by bringing your payment (check or money order) to the office (located at the amenity center) during office hours (Monday - Friday, 10 am - 4 pm).
Payments made after April 30th will be considered late, which will cause late fees and interest to be applied. If you need assistance,
please reach out to us. We can help!
Have a great weekend and, as always,
please let me know if there is anything we can do to help you!
Thank you,
Jamie Patterson
