BOARD MEETING NOTICE
Thursday, April 3, 2003
Fletcher Heights Elementary School
7877 W. Hillcrest
7:30 - 8:30 pm

All homeowners are invited and encouraged to attend.


PET PROBLEMS
We would like to remind all pet owners within the community of their responsibility to pick up after their
pet(s). Complaints relating to pet waste is one of the most common complaints received by the Management Company. Both City code and Association rules clearly state that you must pick up after your pet(s), not to mention the unspoken rules of common courtesy and consideration.

Please do your part in helping everyone enjoy the parks around the community and PICK UP AFTER YOUR PET(S)!

Another common complaint received by the
Management Company is about dogs barking excessively.

Please be courteous to your neighbors. Your CC&R's state that pets are not to make an unreasonable amount of noise or to become a nuisance to neighbors.

Should you have problems with dogs barking, please call the City of Peoria Barking Dogs Line at (623) 773-8311.


PARKING CONCERNS
Parking on the street presents two main concerns. Firstly, it is a safety hazard. There are children within our community who, although they shouldn’t, sometimes play or run into the street. None of us would ever forgive ourselves should an accident occur due to restricted visibility from one of our vehicle being parked in the street.

Secondly, it is unsightly. Streets lined with vehicles detract from the overall aesthetic appeal of our neighborhood and creates a negative initial impact on prospective buyers.
Homebuyers view many different communities before coming to their decision on which home to purchase. On-street parking is definitely becoming a factor effecting the buyer's decision.

In the pursuit of preserving appeal and safety within our neighborhood and preserving the property value for when you come to sell your home, we ask that you please park ALL vehicles in your driveway or garage at ALL times.


INVISIBLE TRASH CANS
The Association believes that confusion may exist on the part of some Homeowners regarding trash container rules. We strive to encourage everyone to do their part in keeping up the neighborhood, so please keep your trash containers behind your fence or in your garage. Although it may be considered to be a less important CC&R violation, it is also the easiest to correct. It does have a direct impact
on the aesthetic appeal of our neighborhood and consequently the value of the homes. For those who are not in the habit of storing the trash containers properly, please
spend an extra moment to do so.


SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES
If you see any suspicious activity or witness graffiti/vandalism, please call your Police Department immediately. To report graffiti, please call the Management Company so that it can be removed quickly.


STREETLIGHTS
When a streetlight is not working in your community, please call the Management Company or APS. They will need the post number located on the light post and an approximate address of the post.


AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS
Please remember that your assessments are due monthly. Those of you that have not already signed up for automatic payment of your assessments, may be interested to know that the service is available for just a $2.00 setup fee. It will save you from incurring late fees and help the Association's cash flow by insuring prompt payment when due. Call Kinney Management if you have any questions or wish to arrange for automatic payment.


ASSESSMENT PAYMENTS
Some homeowners are sending their assessment payment checks written out to Kinney Management Services (KMS). Please note that all assessment payments should be made out to your Association, Fletcher Heights Community
Association, and mailed to the address in your coupon book. Please be sure to include your coupon with the check for faster processing.


REMINDERS
Please remember that the speed limit within Fletcher Heights is 25 mph unless otherwise posted. For those homeowners who reside on corner lots, the outside perimeter landscape is to be maintained by the
homeowner to the back wall property line.


ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL
Many Homeowners are making improvements or
alterations the their property by adding structures to their backyards, ornamental items in their front yards and/or adding additions to their driveway. The Fletcher Heights CC&R's require that Homeowners obtain the prior approval of the Design Review Committee for ANY exterior alteration or addition to their property. If you would like
to submit for approval of any exterior alteration or addition, please call the Management Company for an Architectural Submittal Form.

BOATS & RV'S
Just a reminder of the community rules for boats and/or RV's. Vehicles, Campers and Boats Temporary parking of recreational vehicles, boats and similar equipment will be permitted, if it is apparent that the item(s) are being loaded or unloaded.

A combination of storage facility hours and homeowner schedules obviously can create time constraints in returning the boat and/or RV for storage. However, in all fairness to non-owners of boats and/or RV's, please keep in mind that the parking is to be only temporary.
