RECAP OF COBBLESTONES’ TOWN HALL MEETING

TRASH WOES

If you’ve driven in to either lot or looked out your dining room window, you can’t miss it; The smelly residue of a day-late trash pick up from Republic Services.

We have photos, video, and paid invoices from our attempt to clean up the last mess.

We are well beyond a one-month refund as restitution, and I will be urging the Board to support me in getting justice and the service we deserve and pay for each month.

Here is an interesting article about one woman’s pursuit of justice. I hope you find it as interesting as I did.

As Summer draws to a close- The Board hopes for a fun and safe time for all when unit owners and Cobblestones’ members host get-togethers at their homes. At this time, we ask that all of our neighbors at The Cobblestones familiar themselves with the Bylaws and CCRs regarding parking, noise, and damage to common areas, particularly the following:

B. Fire and Safety:
Only natural gas barbecues have been approved for use on the third floor decks. The natural gas line must be installed by a licensed and insured plumber in accordance with State and Local building codes. Proof of installation and/or certification, along with the plumber’s name and license number, must be received by the Secretary of the Executive Board (UNIT F9) or appointed Management Company (ONYX) prior to the initial use of the device. Charcoal and propane grills are only approved for use on ground level. (Note from The Board: Please be mindful of the dried condition of our lawns and brush. Be sure to have water or a fire extinguisher nearby when grilling outside.)

D. Parking and Vehicles:
3. Parking is permitted in the parking areas only, within the lines, and shall not block any walkways, fire lanes, fire hydrants, or other vehicles.
6. No vehicles are allowed on the grass or walkway at any time. (Note from The Board: Exceptions have been made for work trucks only with prior notice and Board approval. Also, remember and please tell your guests that parking or stopping on Cresheim Valley Drive isn’t just a dangerous violation of our rules, but it’s also illegal.)
10. Unit owners/residents are encouraged to request their guests to park on the street and not on the lots.
13. Playing/rough-housing is prohibited in all parking lots

F. Noise:
2. No unit owner/resident or guest shall play an instrument or operate a television, stereo, or other radio in such a manner as to disturb other residents.
3. Parties shall be kept under control by unit residents at all times and should be held in such a manner as not to disturb other residents.
(Note from The Board: Per The Cobblestones’ Rules and Regulations on noise; outdoor parties and gatherings should wrap up by 8PM to not disturb neighbors)

Note from The Board: Something to consider: per The Cobblestones’ rules: Any and all damage costs to the common area will be charged to the homeowner/host.

The Cobblestones’ insurance carrier RECOMMENDS any homeowner, who is planning a party or get-together, to obtain a special event endorsement from the host/homeowner’s own HO 6 Policy to cover the event in case of Liability. These endorsements generally cost about $25 to $50 depending on the company and can cover up to $1,000,000.

You are reminded to remove any and all personal belongings from the common area around your home that The Association is responsible for. This includes the property outside of your living room door and in most cases, the lawns in front of your fence and dining room window. If you have been planting and maintaining this area, you may continue to do so. Sharp’s will not interfere with your personal landscaping.

Refrain from using small rocks that can end up on your lawn.
