Dear Parkshore Residents,

As we navigate through this time of uncertainty regarding the coronavirus we would like to extend an invitation to connect all neighbors through a Parkshore Neighborhood Facebook page to make sure all are safe and have any support, if necessary.  We have created a Parkshore Neighborhood adult Facebook page for anyone in the 145 households within Parkshore. If you are interested in joining the group it is titled: Parkshore Neighborhood Group.

There will be an administrator of the Facebook page that will monitor for appropriate content and allow for the privacy of others by not admitting anyone to the site that does not reside in Parkshore. If there is anything you would like to see posted to the site, any suggestions for improvement, or any posts you feel are not appropriate please let us know.  You can reach us at Trustees@parkshorehoa.org. 

Sincerely,

Parkshore Trustees

Dear Parkshore Lot Owner,

Over the years, it has been communicated to residents of Parkshore that they are allowed to fish in the stormwater retention basin that is located behind the homes on Buckman Street and Westwick Place.  Recently, we worked with the Association’s legal counsel to research the Association’s legal obligations with respect to the basin.   We have determined that there is an easement that is granted to the Association to maintain the basin, there is no easement granted to Parkshore owners to enter onto the lots owned by individual owners surrounding the basin.  As a result, anyone who enters onto an owner’s lot so that they can access the basin to fish may be considered trespassing.

Based on this information, we want to clarify that the Association cannot grant residents of Parkshore permission to enter onto another owner’s lot to access the basin.  It is up to the discretion of the residents who own property that includes the basin, to allow access to the basin that is on their property.

Regards,

Parkshore HOA Trustees

The Board would like to apologize for any confusion regarding the mailer that was received from Associa – Real Property Management.  The information received was not in the format, nor of the direction that was presented to them. The specific instructions provided were to mail the notices out to each homeowner referencing only their mailbox.  At this time the Board is still investigating, but we are told that only the Buckman Street mailbox evaluations were received.   The Buckman Street mailbox evaluation spreadsheet was mistakenly sent and the blank form should have been completed with your mailbox condition. 

The board is in the process of evaluating how to rectify this issue as well as working on an alternative to avoid this type of situation recurring. 

Parkshore HOA Trustees

It appears Spring is finally here, and soon everyone will be out enjoying the warmer weather. We have had a few new families join the neighborhood over the winter months. Please join us in welcoming any new resident to the neighborhood.

We are hopeful that these communications are helpful with providing information that occurs throughout the community. Please do not hesitate with providing suggestions for information you would like to see in future newsletters.

Parkshore Web:

Although there are instances where we may need to send hardcopy mailers, it is our intent to move to be “Green” with our communications moving forward. Our plan is to email as much information as possible and to post pertinent information to the Parkshore HOA website at http://parkshorehoa.org.  Please spread the word and encourage your neighbors to visit the website to register for communications and find all relevant HOA information. As a reminder emails are not shared and you are free to unsubscribe at any time. Your privacy is important to us. Signing up is easy by going to the Parkshore website at http://parkshorehoa.org and following the directions at “sign up to receive email updates.”

Directory:

Everyone will be receiving a mailer with information about updating the directory for the residents of Parkshore. The directory will include the publicly available name and address of the home owner(s) and with your interest and permission we can include a phone number(s) in the directory. In addition to your phone number(s), if you have interest in including information for anyone in your household who is available for neighborhood jobs such as mailbox painting, dog walking, and/or babysitting, please send an email to the trustees with the information you would like to have published to trustees@parkshorehoa.org.

Social Committee:

Now is the time to form a Social Committee to take advantage of the Spring and soon to be Summer. Everyone will receive information in the mailer about signing up. The Social Committee will help with bringing the neighborhood together through planned and organized events. For those that are interested in being on the Social Committee please contact the Parkshore Board at trustees@parkshorehoa.org.

Reminders:

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the residents that have maintained or recently completed the necessary repairs or replacement of their mailbox. There are still, however, some mailboxes that need to be either repaired and stained or replaced and stained. We will be sending notices to residents whose mailboxes do not comply with the standards outlined in the Declaration of Covenants. As a reminder the stain for the mailboxes is provided by the HOA free of charge. If you need mailbox stain, please contact any board member at trustees@parkshorehoa.org. Information pertaining to mailbox maintenance can be located on the Parkshore HOA website at https://parkshorehoa.org/mailbox-standards.

Please be mindful of the posted speed limit throughout the community.

More and more children, dog walkers and people are on the streets with Spring here to take advantage of the nicer weather. Since the neighborhood does not have sidewalks, please drive slowly through the neighborhood.

As a reminder, if you are considering any changes to your property, the Parkshore Covenant Architectural Standard requires that the proposed changes be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board. The application for submitting these proposed changes can be found on the Parkshore HOA website at https://parkshorehoa.org/design-review-board.

Also, as a reminder the $125.00 annual HOA fees were due no later than March 10, to avoid a late fee. Thanks to all who have paid their fees by this deadline.

Updates:

Due to the age and deterioration of the street signs throughout Parkshore, we are obtaining quotes to have them repaired or replaced through Cedar Craft.  Cedar Craft also has a remedy to avoid damage to the new posts by placing a galvanized wrap on the bottom of the post, eliminating damage from mowing and trimming.

As always if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns please feel free to contact any of the board members.

Sincerely
Parkshore HOA Board
