Complaints and Corrections

 One of the purposes of the HOA is to listen to the concerns of residents and act to assist whenever applicable.

Recently, we received a complaint from a citizen that the areas around the entrances to those back driveways behind our Hwy 3 homes were not being maintained.  Specifically, these are the areas around the little fence islands.

As a result, we have contracted with our landscape guy to begin cutting and weed-whacking the common areas around those fences at the driveway entrances.  While we were unable to find out whose responsibility those areas were from a legal stance, we agreed that it is common sense that the HOA should maintain those!

We have also received a complaint regarding a pothole on one of those back driveways behind our Hwy 3 houses.  We confirmed with the County and determined that it is the HOA, not local government, that is responsible for the upkeep of those driveways.

As a result, CAM is assisting us with quoting out and securing a repair for that pothole in the near future.

Please do not hesitate to bring your concerns to the HOA, through this webpage or through CAM.  We are here to help our community keep safe and to ensure that properties are well maintained so that all of us benefit from higher property values.

Thanks so much!

HOA Update - July 2014

Hello everyone!  We have been working with Community Association Management for 4 months now and the Board is happy to report that our relationship with CAM has been consistently professional and beneficial.

Recently, CAM provided the Board with the most recent detailed financial statements.  I want to share some of the highlights here and offer to provide the full copy to any homeowner who requests one (with PII redacted).

• One notable item is the repair of the entrance lamp by the Jasper Heights sign.  It had been dark due to electrical issues for some time, we went ahead and paid $275 to have it repaired and now it shines with a warm and inviting glow as you pass by!
• Cash on hand = $8,910.49
• Money Market savings = $1,708.71
• There are 28 of our 68 homes that still owe and we expect to recover about $12,800.00 in the months ahead from those assessments, legal fees, etc.

CAM does do random drive thru inspections and the Board will take homeowner complaints, verify them, and pass them to CAM.  So please ensure you are following applicable covenants and laws so you don't get hit with a warning, a fine, or a ticket!  A few things to remember...

• Don't park on the street.
• Keep your lawn trimmed.
• Dogs should be on leashes.
• Shape those front yard trees to look like trees, not big bushes.
• Keep mailboxes rust free and painted.
• Large commercial vehicles are not to be parked in suburban neighborhoods by County Code.
• Power wash that siding to remove mold and mildew.

These things are not to impose burden upon you, but to help ensure that the property values for our neighborhood are the best they can be!

If you have any questions, or comments, please contact us.  We will be glad to assist!

Sincerely,

Jason Glover

VP

Pool Time!

Memorial Day weekend means that pools everywhere are opening up for summertime fun!

If you are interested in obtaining a pool pass for the Fears Mill HOA community pool, please see below for the steps you should take:

1)  Residents should fill out the Amenity Agreement located at:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2-fYTPxyhVbFQtbWotYWNuMGs/edit?usp=sharing

2)  A signed copy of that agreement should be submitted to the Jasper Height HOA Board.  Email is best.  jasperheightshoa@gmail.com

3)  The Jasper Heights HOA Board will verify that the resident is current on their dues and then forward the agreement and the fee to Community Association Management  (Deanna Wallis with a cc' to Rhonda Fleming)

4)  Once CAM has received the agreement they will contact the resident to obtain the $200 amenity fee,.  After the fee is paid, CAM  will issue an amenity card to give the resident access to the pool, tennis courts, etc

Please note:
If the resident has used the facilities in the past their card would still be good. CAM would need to activate it. If they have lost their card CAM requires $25.00 to replace it. It they are new there is no charge for the card.

Swim safe and have fun!

Violation Letters

Late last week or early this week, many of us (myself included) received friendly reminders about covenant violations that we need to correct.

They look something like this:

If you received a reminder, please address the violation promptly.  Remember, these violations are being brought up in order to help maintain strong property values for our neighborhood.  The better your neighbors houses look, the more your house is typically worth.

Also, please note that failure to correct these violations will result in a warning letter and future fines.  Ain't nobody got time for that!  Lets work together and help keep the community looking great!

Welcome Letter

You probably received a letter in your mailbox last week that reads like this:

Please let us introduce ourselves. Jasper Heights Homeowners' Association, Inc. ("Association"), as of May 1st, will be managed by Community Association Management, LLC ("CAM").
