Assessment Payments for 2007:

Western States Property Services will be sending out coupon books along with return envelopes for monthly assessment payments of $45 per household (part of which covers charges for the weekly trash collection). For those not already set up with electronic funds transfer, each payment will be due on the first of every month starting January 1, 2007.

Note: Although the coupon system is set up on a monthly basis, Association Members may want to pay ahead on a less frequent basis during the year. Like this year, they can still do this like the following:

To continue paying, for example, on a quarterly basis, one can take the three monthly coupons for the quarter and enclose them in the return envelope along with a payment for $135. This amount would have to be paid at the start of the quarter for the three coupons?…..not after-the-fact.

Common Area Fence Damage:

As a reminder, any time a Homeowner needs to disassemble one of the shared common area fences along their lot (for example to re-landscape a back yard), a Design Review Request should first be submitted and approval received from the ACC before proceeding. To close out the DRR, follow up inspection by the ACC must first be made to assure that the fence is reassembled in an undamaged condition. If damaged, Homeowners should make the repairs, including matching paint, if required. If not, the only recourse for the Association is to contract to have the repairs made and then bill them to the Homeowner.

Area Theft:

Recently, a Charterwood home along the Fenton St. perimeter was broken into and burglarized.
To take precautions against crimes of this nature, especially when not at home, make sure to lock all doors and windows. Similarly with parked automobiles, don?’t leave the ignition key in your car, lock all doors and remove any items of value. Last month, a stolen vehicle, possibly used in another crime, was abandoned in Charterwood and remained unnoticed for a period of time. Residents are requested to be vigilant of any strangers walking, riding or driving through the neighborhood and when suspicious actions are observed, notify the Lakewood Police.
