New Homeowners Letter

Dear New Homeowner,

On behalf of the Villas at Pine Forest Homeowners Association Board of Directors and the other homeowners of Villas at Pine Forest, we welcome you to our community. Over the coming months we look forward to meeting you, whether it be walking down the streets, our children meeting up or playing together, or at a neighborhood meeting or activity.

The operation of your homeowner’s association is governed by a board of volunteer directors. The five Board members are elected on a staggered basis by the community. Elections are held at the annual homeowners meeting in September (for the next year). The Board is responsible for overseeing the daily functions and financial responsibilities of the Association, and for maintaining members’ compliance with the established rules and guidelines. Please take the time to read through the Covenant Declarations, and Bylaws you received during the home purchase process. Copies are available on the community website (under Governing Documents). There is a monthly Board meeting, held on the second Wednesday of each month. All homeowners are invited.

Our community website, villasatpineforest.com, is a source of information regarding Villas at Pine Forest and the surrounding area. Upcoming meetings and events, announcements, a community calendar, Covenant Declarations and Bylaws, architectural review, and volunteer committee information can all be found there. Please take a few minutes to visit and familiarize yourself with this resource and to get to know your community. The website provides ready answers to most of the questions homeowners have. There is some information that is community restricted, so please make sure you register to get full access.

Four Points Community Association Management, LLC is our contracted property management company. Our Property Manager, Jonathan Peterson, can be reached at 850-583-4636 or via email at [email protected]. He should be contacted regarding any service issues in regard to community property, any apparent violations of rules and guidelines, and for any questions about your homeowner dues and assessments.

As a new homeowner, you may already have some ideas on how you’d like to improve your property. Please keep in mind, the Association has an Architectural Review Committee to help maintain the quality of our neighborhood. Its function is to evaluate the plans for all exterior landscaping, repairs and remodeling (such as painting, decks, fences, trees and bushes, replacement roofs, etc.) to ensure compliance with all covenants, restrictions and guidelines. The purpose of this review is to protect our scenic environment and maintain the value of our homes. Modifications to the exterior of your home and property must be submitted to the Architectural Control Committee for approval before any work begins. If work is started without prior approval, the homeowner may be required to alter or remove the changes.

Again, welcome to the Villas at Pine Forest community! We know you’ll find this neighborhood is a great place to live and we encourage your participation in our activities and functions.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors
Villas at Pine Forest Homeowners Association
