Important Community Updates from The Southern Oaks HOA
We are once again entering that season of the year when signs start appearing in homeowners' yards. It could be a contractor sign, a vendor sign, or (our personal favorite) ... POLITICAL SIGNS!!
Article VI, Section 1(L) of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions states the following: "No sign of any kind shall be displayed to the public view on any lot except one sign of not more than five (5) square feet advertising the property for sale or rent ..." It is very clear the original developer's intention was to restrict displaying of signs of any kind other than "For Sale" or "For Rent."
Since the recording of our governing documents, state law has been passed which provides that for public safety reasons, we must allow small signs posted by security companies. The law also requires that we allow your lawn treatment company to post a small sign in your yard for a couple of days after treating your lawn.
So please do not display political signs of any sort in your yard. A better plan is to be sure to get to the polls and vote for the candidate of your choice!
Grass Maintenance Reminder
As we continue to maintain the beauty of our community, please remember to blow grass clippings off the sidewalk after mowing. These clippings mustn't be blown into the street or sewer, as this can lead to clogging and result in additional maintenance costs, ultimately impacting our HOA fees.
