Hope everyone in the neighborhood is enjoying this lovely stretch of Spring weather. Personally, I’m hoping it stays around until June, so we can actually register a REAL Spring this year. Your Board continues to meet and handle business in WGC. We’re taking this quick opportunity to share some updates with you all, as well as share WGC 2023 event dates so you can add them to your calendar in advance.
2023 MEETING & EVENT DATES
Mid-year meeting: Monday, May 8 6:00pm @ Pool Complex
Garage Sale: Friday/Saturday, June 16-17 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Dues Increase Voting: Monday, August 21 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. @ Pool Complex
HOA Annual Meeting: Monday, November 13 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Location: TBD (will either be Creston or Grassy Creek Elementary, waiting on approval)
– Rental restrictions: We have started discussions with our legal counsel on rental restrictions for homeowner consideration. Passing this covenant change will require a minimum 75% homeowner vote, and we have put work on hold until we feel neighbors are serious about pursuing this change and fully engaged to drive and support this initiative. Attend the May meeting to learn more and share how you will get involved to support this initiative for WGC.
– Landscaping: Entrance planting will be delayed until Fall, to avoid the issues during the heat of summer. In the interim, we will engage vendors to understand the extent of damage to our existing irrigation system and what it will take to get that back up and running to support future plant health/growth.
– HOA Management Companies: As requested at the annual meeting, we will provide homeowners with cost and service information on HOA management companies to determine if/how we consider that option for WGC.
– Annual dues: Nearly 30 homeowners have still not paid their annual dues and have already been assessed late fees. Please reach out to Chris Collins to make arrangements ASAP. As of May 2, all accounts with outstanding balances will be referred to collections.
– Dues shortfall: Amenities and services have been reduced for 2023, due to the “no” vote on the recommended dues increase. To address this continuing shortfall, we will again be recommending a dues increase in 2024 to catch us up to the levels needed maintain the neighborhood appropriately. Information will again be shared at the May meeting and voting will take place in August.
– Home maintenance: Some homes are starting the show their age. To keep WGC attractive to residents and potential buyers, homeowners need to do their part to maintain their homes regularly. Beginning in late April, you may see Board members walking the streets and taking notes from home to home. Homeowners may receive a letter outlining maintenance needed to get each home up to par with within neighborhood covenants, as appropriate (not all will receive a letter): Sample letter
Items that will be addressed at a minimum are: (1) Mailboxes (2) Siding damage (3) Siding mold (4) Garage door damage/paint fade (5) Shutter damage/paint fade (6) Other facade damage/paint fade/wear (7) Front yard tree (8) Fence maintenance/paint. The letter will detail a period of time allows for each homeowner to address maintenance issues.
Signs will go up for the May 8 meeting soon, and we’ll hope to see as many homeowners there as possible to ensure good discussion on the topics outlined above! Please email us with any questions in the interim.
