AMI & HOA Enforcing the Deed Restrictions

Perhaps you received a post card from AMI in the mail like I did. Just in case you tossed it, thinking it was junk mail, let me reproduce it here for you.

AMI and your Homeowners Association would like to maintain the aesthetics of your community but can only do so with your help. Below are some friendly tips and reminders on how to help keep your community beautiful.

  • Basketball goals are not allowed.
  • Trash containers must be kept from public view (except on trash days)
  • Please remember that garden hoses should be on garden caddies and/or placed out of view.
  • For the safety of our residents and your visitors, overnight street parking is prohibited. In order to alleviate cluttered streets, your Association is currently in the process of contacting the local municipality to ticket and tow these individuals who violate this parking restriction. (My comment on this one: we are not within any local municipality so I presume that they are contacting the Sheriff to ticket and tow. Considering the Sheriff's response times to our emergency calls, I would think that the HOA might have difficulty getting this enforced!)
  • Now is the time to fertilize both your front and rear lawns. Fertilizer can be purchased at any feed, hardware, or lawn store and is vital in minimizing weed growth during the spring germination period.
No street parking is allowed over night. Please try your best to use your driveway, your neighbor will appreciate it. (My comment again: Seems that they really want the cars off the streets. It is a definite safety hazard. Pets or children can dart out into the street and a driver would not be able to see them as quickly due to the parked cars. And, if a fire truck tried to get to a burning house it would have to plow it's way through these parked cars.)

Please keep in mind that during the winter season management will be reviewing the above mentioned items each visit and reminding owners of their maintenance responsibilities -- for the benefit of all.

Sincerely,
Dave King
