Monthly friendly advice for our Reunion neighbors about covenants issues & guidelines

We at the Covenants Committee will start sending out friendly reminders in the Patriot, and hopefully, this information may be helpful to residents. Thank you to all for adhering to the Covenant and recognizing that these regulations are necessary to keep our community a visually attractive and safe place to live.

House Painting:

If you are changing your house’s paint color, you need to know that ALL paint colors must be approved by the Covenants/Modifications Committee, and the color must be approved by your immediate neighbors – those that touch their border. This pertains to the base color and all trim, shutters, doors, decking, and railing. For complete details, go to www.fieldstonerpcommunities.com/reunion/ home.asp for instructions and modification information. For the complete list of approved paint colors, please visit the Sherwin-Williams link: https://www.sherwin-williams.com/ homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/hoa/hoschton/ ga/reunion-country-club/

Exterior Landscaping and Maintenance:

1. A Form is not required to be submitted for ornamental trees. However, a Form must be submitted for screen planting (row or cluster style) and property line plantings.

2. Each Owner is responsible for removing debris, clippings, etc., from the property line to the center of the street. All planting areas should be adequately always maintained, and after the first frost, all affected material should be removed. It is suggested that the bare earth be covered with straw, mulch, or similar cover to prevent soil erosion.

3. Forms must include a description of the types and sizes of trees and shrubs to be planted, and it plans to show the relationship of plantings to the house and adjacent dwellings.

4. Landscaping should relate to the Lot’s existing terrain and natural features, utilizing plant materials native to the Southeast. The amount and character of the landscaping must conform to the precedent set in the surrounding community.

5. The preferred landscape bed edging is a neat four/sixinch-deep trench. Other edgings, if used, shall not exceed three inches above turf height and be of a uniform type. Any other should be approved.

6. All mulched landscape beds must be covered with natural pine straw, chopped pine bark mulch, or wood shavings.(Rubber mulch isn’t allowed)

7. Each Owner shall keep their Lot and all improvements in good order and repair, including, but not limited to, seeding, watering, mowing, the pruning and cutting of all trees and shrubbery, and the painting or other appropriate external care of all improvements. This should be done in a manner and with such frequency as is consistent with good property management and the precedent set in the surrounding community.

Vehicles and Parking:

8. No boat, trailer, camper, recreational, or other vehicle type may be parked or stored in open view on residential property for more than twenty-four hours.

9. All cars parked in open view and not in a garage must be operable and may not be unsightly.

10. No vehicle/golf cart may be parked on any yard. As a rule, parking vehicles on the streets within the community is prohibited. Temporary parking (four hours or less) is allowed if the Owner’s driveway is full, not a nuisance to neighbors or an impediment to traffic flow. The vehicle must be parked with traffic. Owners are responsible for guest parking and must ensure that guests park safely and do not impede access to other driveways and traffic.

Mailboxes:

Springtime is fast approaching, and what a great time to repaint your mailbox. All mailboxes must be functional with no broken or removed parts and be freshly painted using the approved black color, and the red flag and gold embellishments must also be freshly painted if they show signs of fading. Remember to use the approved mailbox.

The Empty Nesters Welcome a ‘White Elephant’ to the New Year!

The Reunion Empty Nesters kicked off the New Year with a White Elephant gift exchange, where some folks went home with some very cool stuff!

After a terrific array of entrées including chicken pot pie, vegetable soup, rigatoni, barbecue and many others— combined with some wonderful desserts—the Nesters were called to order by co-chair Joanne Giel. Joanne had asked Nesters to bring a Christmas gift that they did not need). More than 30 gifts were brought to the meeting, and random numbers were drawn by residents.

After some great laughs and a number of entertaining “swaps”, folks left with smiles and some items they would enjoy and others that, well, might have to wait for the next White Elephant exchange!
