HOA Dues Increase
In October, the Board voted to increase our 2013 HOA dues 4.5% over last year. This is due in part to inflation and also to make sure that we are planning properly for adequate reserves to cover future capital expenditures to avoid the need for special assessments. Listed below are some common elements that are likely to require capital repair or replacement in the future: • Parking lots at Via Sonoma Pool and Barefoot Park • Metal fences along greenbelt lots • Wood fence along Rusk Road • Concrete perimeter walls • Playground equipment at Via Sonoma Pool and Barefoot Park • Spillway at large pond • Retaining wall at Barefoot Pool • Entrance monuments • Pavilion at small pond • Via Sonoma pool house Restrooms Doors and windows • Barefoot pool house Restrooms Door and window • Via Sonoma pool Pool decks Pool fence Mechanical equipment • Barefoot pool Pool deck Pool shade (Continued on Page 3) Copyright © 2013 Peel, Inc.
