A Letter from the HOA President

I have been serving as your HOA Board president the last three years.  During that time, the Board has had a number of conversations about the types of things we can do to help us maintain the value of our homes here in the Cedars of Duvall.

To that end, I want to briefly delineate three areas of concern relative to "Use of Lots," Article 4 of our CCRs. We ask that you please take a moment and evaluate your respective situation. 

Maintenance of Buildings and Lots.  Each Owner shall, at Owner's expense, keep the interior and exterior...in a clean and sanitary condition...and shall do all redecorating, painting, landscaping, and maintenance...to maintain the appearance and condition of the Structure and the Lot.

Trash Containers and Debris. All trash (and debris) shall be placed in sanitary containers...so as not to be visible from adjoining structures, streets or roadways.  (Obviously, Waste Management is in our neighborhood on Fridays, and that requires containers to be at the curb during that time.)

Landscape Maintenance.  The front yard landscaping shall be well maintained at all times, i.e., weeds shall be removed at least once a year, and grass areas shall be kept below six (6 inches) in height.  If this is not done, the (Board) reserves the option, as an alternative to legal remedies, to engage a commercial landscaping company to do maintenance work and to bill the property Owner for costs.

We trust that this information is helpful as each of us considers our own Lots and Structure.

If you need additional information regarding these articles, please don't hesitate to contact our Board.  We meet monthly and regularly discuss issues impacting our neighborhood.  Moreover, if you would like a copy of the Cedars of Duvall CCRs, the document can be found here: Cedars of Duvall CCRs

Thank you.

Paul W. Bodnar.
