During a recent site inspection, it was noted that there is an abundance of commercial/advertising signs for display in yards and some on common property of the HOA. If you happen to have a commercial sign (for example, for a roofer or window company), please take a moment to remove this from your yard. The management team will be issuing further compliance notices for any properties with signs displayed if not removed by Friday, July 14, 2023, as your Association's governing documents prohibit the display of advertising and commercial signs (see section 2.10 of the Guidelines.)
Thank you!
