The Architectural Control Committee |
Mar-Oct
2d and 4th Wednesday |
The ACC meets every second and fourth Wednesday beginning in March and
ending in October. Any landscape or hardscape project must be submitted to
the committee for their review and approval. The goal and mandate of the
committee is to help maintain the overall excellent appearance of our homes
and community. Should any homeowner wish to initiate a landscaping or hardscape
project, they are to pick up a blue application form explaining the scope
of the project. These forms can be obtained from the Community Manager. Once
the application is complete, it is then submitted to the Community Manager,
who in turn will share it with members of the ACC for review. We ask the
homeowners to thoroughly review the application before completing it, as
it asks for four specific items that must be included in the final application.
The first meeting of the ACC is scheduled for Wednesday, March 12th. The
committee members look forward to working with homeowners who submit applications
in a timely fashion, so they can move forward with their respective projects.
Thanks, and think Spring! |

Billiards Club
update. The Billiards Club will meet at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, October
16th in the Grande Room at the Clubhouse. At the meeting we will meet the
new Billiards Club Committee, and discuss the upcoming billiards (8-Ball)
season. One of the main goals of the Billiards Club Committee going forward
is to increase membership in the club by encouraging and welcoming new residents
as well as previous players back into the Billiards Room. The committee has
several ideas to accomplish this goal and looks forward to discussing them
with all interested players at the meeting. In the meantime, the sign-up
sheet for the 2024-2025 Billiards season is posted on the bulletin board.
Interested players should sign up as an individual rather than as a team.
Please be sure to indicate your preferred day of play, Wednesday or Thursday
