LA LOOKS LA ( LW) HOA CORNER By Debby Landgrebe Members of the LA Lake Wales HOA have lots of things going on and your Board of Directors (BOD) are busy at work for you. You can reach your current HOA BOD at: • President Ken Rickey, president@lakeashtonhoa.org • Vice President David Muller, vp@lakeashtonhoa.org • Treasurer Bob Prowant, treasurer1@lakeashtonhoa.org • Secretary Keith Stevens, secretary3@lakeashtonhoa.org • Secretary Debby Landgrebe, secretary1@lakeashtonhoa.org or you can reach all the directors at once using directors@lakeashtonhoa.org. Assessments: By now you should have received your HOA assessment. If you haven’t please contact the management company Don Asher, immediately by email (HOAdues@donasher.com). Please note the assessment payment is due in January. However, all assessments received before February 15 will avoid additional processing and late fees. Check the assessment document for payment details. This is a NEW PROCESS. Assessments WILL NOT be accepted in the HOA mailbox or office. Checks are to be mailed along with the coupon or use a credit card online. Volunteers Needed: Get involved in your HOA! Members to run for the HOA BOD are needed. Dave Greer is chairing the Nominating Committee — contact him at dwgreer7738@sbcglobal.net if interested. The BOD will receive nominations from the committee on January 4. At the monthly BOD meeting on January 5, additional nominations from the floor may be accepted. Volunteers for ARC and other committees are also needed. In January the ARC Guidelines, now called The Design Review Guidelines, will start getting refreshed and updated. Volunteers are needed to assist with this project. Why not join? Thank you in advance. CC&Rs: At the time of this writing, the revised document is in the hands of the attorney. Once it’s returned to the BOD we will review and organize a town hall meeting regarding the revised CC&Rs. Additional information will be made available as the BOD is updated. Plan on attending the townhall meeting and the Annual Meeting. Your attendance means you will know first-hand what is going on. The BOD plans to present and vote on the revised CC&Rs as part of the Members Annual Meeting. Members Annual Meeting is scheduled for the end of February. This is your meeting, so please plan on attending. Send topics you would like to discuss or present, or updates you want to hear about, to directors@lakeashtonhoa.org with your name, address, phone number, and email. ARC Compliance: It is your responsibility to review and understand the ARC Rules, now called The Design Review Guidelines, which stem from the CC&Rs. It is your responsibility as a homeowner to file an ARC request before any outside changes or updates begins. Doing so will minimize issues for everyone. Vendors and/or neighbors cannot submit an ARC request on behalf of the homeowner. One of the reasons to purchase in Lake Ashton is because of its beauty. Don Asher Management Company will be looking at all Design Review Guideline compliances. All properties within the HOA are being reviewed for compliance with Design Review Guidelines. It’s up to everyone to maintain the beauty of Lake Ashton and that includes following The Design Review Guidelines. If you don’t have a copy or have questions, contact the HOA Manager at manager@lakeashtonhoa.org or HOA BOD at directors@lakeashtonhoa.org. This is a great community. Everyone can work together to maintain its beauty and camaraderie. Thank you for your help and support.
