LA LOOKS LA ( LW) HOA CORNER By Ken Rickey, President The HOA wants to be fair but firm in dealing with compliance issues. As such, the rules need to be followed by everybody — not just the people down the street. Each month a specific area of compliance will be concentrated on in order to better serve the community. This month, the HOA will be looking at house paint and trim and checking for signs of repainting or cleaning needs. The Design Guidelines specify the colors for the base color, trim, shutters, front and side doors for the house. The approved colors are available on lakeashtonhoa.org under the architectural information section and at the HOA office. Welcome back to the neighbors who have been away for the summer. For those who have not kept up with Lake Ashton news while gone, this is a short recap (for the others this is a review)! Three of the HOA Directors resigned in May due to health reasons. The new appointees are Secretary Keith Stevens, Treasurer Bob Prowant, and Assistant Secretary Debby Landgrebe, joining Vice President David Muller and President Ken Rickey. The vote on the CC&R revisions was postponed until legal issues have been straighten out. While that is happening, the HOA Board and the CC&R committee have been working diligently to further clarify some of the wording and to present the document in a more readable and understandable format. Hopefully the final rendering will be much more acceptable to the members (you) for a positive vote. A management company has been hired to assist the HOA and ARC in the duties and responsibilities to keep Lake Ashton the premier 55+ community that it has been for the last 20 years. SUBMITTING ARC REQUESTS ( LW RESIDENTS) By Iris Realmuto, LW ARC Chair All external changes you make to your home require an ARC request and approval prior to starting any project. To submit an ARC request, go to lakeashtonhoa.org, and download the form which can be found under the Documents tab in the Architectural Information section. You can complete the form by hand or on your computer. Then email the completed form to admin@lakeashtonhoa.org. DO NOT USE THE ‘SUBMIT NEW REQUEST’ feature on the website. The form can also be found on the information wall in Clubhouse Ballroom. You can either drop the completed form in the HOA box or have it scanned at the Clubhouse Office prior to dropping it in the HOA box. The deadline for complete ARC request submissions is 5 pm on Wednesday prior to the next ARC meeting. The ARC meets the second & fourth Wednesday of the month. You will be notified of the status of your request within a few days of the meeting. 14
