April Copper Valley HOA Quarterly Newsletter

Copper Valley HOA Newsletter
April 2013 

Message from the Board
Happy spring from your Homeowners Association Board!  We are very excited for this first year as a board and look forward to serving our community.  We will be sending out a community newsletter once a quarter to keep everyone up to date on what is going on in your neighborhood.  We are holding monthly board meetings on the second Tuesday of every month.  These meetings are open to the public.  If you would like to be a part of the agenda, please send in your request to our email: copper.valley.hoa@gmail.com by the Friday before the meeting to be considered.  If there are any questions, Stuart will contact you.  

New Landscape Company
We have contracted with a new company this year to take care of our landscaping needs.  We as a board met with Sean from All Seasons and are very excited to have him and his team working within our community.  He wants to make sure his guys do the best job possible so if you see anything that may need a little extra attention, please let the board know.   

Also, for any interested homeowners, Sean is giving us a great neighborhood rate for both aeration and fertilizing (weed and feed) for our own yards.   If you would like to contact Sean for more information about what he has to offer, give him a call at 801-676-6429 to find out the great prices and to schedule an appointment. 

Parks
We are very fortunate to have open park areas that we can all enjoy!  Let’s do our best to keep them looking great and to always leave them looking better than we found them.  Please encourage your children to not play with the rocks found at the bottom of the retention pond areas.  This creates a problem for the landscapers and it just doesn’t look good having them scattered everywhere.   

Parking near fire hydrants
We would like to remind everyone that we have several fire hydrants located within our community. The law states no parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant.  Please be aware of where you are parking and to obey this law. 

Neighborhood Pets
Article 2.6 of our neighborhood CC&R’s states: No animals, livestock, or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept on any Lot, except as follows: dogs, cats or other household pets may be kept so long as they are not kept, bred or maintained for any commercial purpose and are restricted to the owner’s control: and, no more than two such household pets of over six months of age shall be kept on any Lot.  “Control” for the above purposes shall mean on a leash or lead, within a vehicle, within the residence of the owner, or within the fenced confines on the Lot.  Fierce, dangerous or vicious animals, or animals that cause a nuisance by barking or other offensive activity, as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Board of the Association, shall not be permitted. 

Simply put, a dog must be on a leash or lead unless they are in your vehicle, house, or fenced in back yard.  Also, we as a board have determined that other offensive activity includes dogs pooping on the lawns of those they don’t belong to.  If you take your dog on a walk or to the park, you must clean up after your dog. We have received several complaints and will be enforcing regardless of the size or nature of the dog. 

Proposed Amendments to CC&R’s
We as a board have reviewed our community’s CC&R’s in regards to parking, the parking lots, as well as placement of garbage cans.  In order to make any amendments, a vote must be taken and there must be at least 75% of the community voting in favor of the change.  Before we send out any ballots, we would like to see how our neighbors feel about our recommendation to amend the following. 

Parking on streets: Add no parking on streets between the hours of 12:00 am (midnight) to 6:00 am.   

Parking lots: No commercial parking as well as allowing homeowners to use the parking lots for their personal vehicles only 2 days out of the month.   

Garbage cans: To allow garbage cans on the side of the house without being screened but still no cans to be kept along the front of the house.   

We have created a poll on our community website (www.coppervalleyhoa.blogspot.com) for you to give us your response to each possible amendment.  Voting will be closed May 10th, prior to our next HOA board meeting.  

Contact Information for Board and new website
We value your feedback and encourage each of you to communicate with the HOA board anytime via the board email address: copper.valley.hoa@gmail.com. We are also in the process of putting together a simple website for our community.  You can find that at www.coppervalleyhoa.blogspot.com.  We will be posting a copy of the newsletter, meeting agendas, meeting minutes, and other information that we feel will benefit the community. The website also offers a translation option, if needed.   

We are excited for the upcoming warm weather, being outside more, and interacting with our neighbors!
