PROJECT APPROVAL PROCESS
CONSTRUCTION DUMPSTERS
Dumpsters located in a resident’s driveway are NOT for personal or community use. Dumpster rental is based on the volume and weight of the dumpster when removed. Please do not deposit your yard and/or project waste into someone’s dumpster without permission. The photo below was taken by a resident of pallets and cement pieces that were dumped into their dumpster adding to their disposal fees.
Please remember that any changes to the exterior of a residence requires ARC approval in advance of starting the work. This means that any modification, alteration, or addition of ornamentation of any type or size to your home that can be seen by you, a neighbor, or pedestrians, requires advance approval from the ARC. Please remember this includes our back yards, and includes statues, sculptures, bird baths, flowerpots, wind chimes, swings, benches, arbors, trellises, etc. This also includes replacement of items with an identical item, for example, outside garage lights.
MAILBOX MAINTENANCE
So, do not start beautifying your home exterior or yard until you have submitted a request to the ARC and have received written approval from the community manager. If you don’t, you may be asked to remove the items and you may receive warning notices from the community manager. Fines can be levied if you fail to comply with the warning notices. The ARC has up to 60 days to review and approve / deny projects. Again, please do not proceed until you have received the written approval from the community manager.
Proper maintenance includes maintaining the mailbox in good working order, free from debris and bird droppings, keeping numbers intact, maintaining the mailbox and post finish (powder coat satin black), and repainting periodically. The original color of the mailboxes is powder coat satin black. The approved color for repainting is Rust Oleum Black Semi-Gloss 2x UltraCover Paint & Primer. The area where your mailbox is located is part of the Cresswind common areas and no plantings or borders of any type may be used around the base of the mailbox.

We can set up a Meal Train, come and visit, take and retrieve trash & recycle bins, pick up mail (especially for those in Phase III). We have a list of medical equipment which residents have and are willing to Page 8
loan on a short-term basis for your recovery period (wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, etc.) We have a list of various facilities in the greater Gainesville area that may be needed for recovery (rehab, memory care, assisted living, long term nursing care). We also have a list of organizations that provide skilled in-home care. This information is available and comes with no recommendations by the Committee. If you need assistance or if you would like to volunteer to be part of the CARE Committee to assist our neighbors, please contact Mary Quisenberry.
