Message from the Board

Greetings from the board. We hope you had a safe winter and an enjoyable holiday season. We were pleased with our new snow removal company and received positive feedback from several residents. We have hired them for our lawn care this summer also. Thank you for your efforts to limit on street parking this winter. We hope you will continue to use your garage and driveway for parking your vehicles this summer to help keep the streets open. Don’t forget to be mindful of the kids that will be playing outside as the temperature increases when driving through the neighborhood. We look forward to seeing you at our annual HOA neighborhood meeting next month. As always, we welcome questions or suggestions via email anytime.

Community Meeting

We will be holding our annual community meeting on April 10th at 7:00 pm at the Magna Library. 

If you have anything that you would like to have the board address, please email us at copper.valley.hoa@gmail.com

prior to the meeting.

We will also be announcing the new code for the gates.

Yards needing to be completed

Now that the weather is warming up, we would like to remind all community members that unfinished yards need to be completed by June 1^st.

Also, anyone with trailers, RV’s, etc.  They need to be parked behind a fence on your property.  It is against HOA policy to have them parked in your driveway, on the street, in the parking lots, or on your lot without a fence.  If you do not have a fence, you will need to store them somewhere other than within the community.

Exiting the neighborhood

Now that our gates are closed, it is a good reminder for all of us that we need to exit the community with a little more caution. 

When pulling up to the gates, do so slowly.  It takes a little time for the pads under the pavement to communicate to the gates you are there.  This will help prevent any possible damage to the gates.  Please also share this with your guests.

2014 HOA Meetings

We continue to meet the second Tuesday of each month for our monthly HOA board meetings at 7:30 pm.  We post each month’s agenda and meeting minutes on our community blog.

Neighborhood Cleanup

We would like to encourage everyone to participate in a neighborhood cleanup in conjunction with our neighborhood breakfast that will be held this summer. 

In addition, we’d like to encourage everyone to clean up their own yards including the gutters in front of your home and along the side for those on corner lots.

Clean up after your pets

As a reminder, it is your responsibility to clean up after your pets.  This also includes within your own yard.  We have had complaints of yards full of dog waste and this is neither sanitary nor pleasant to see.  Please clean up after your dogs in a timely manner.

Visitor Parking

When you are having multiple guests come to visit for a party or other type of get together, please ask them to park in one of the two parking lots. This will allow for traffic to continue to move freely within our community.

Please Lock Your Vehicles

Unfortunately, even with the gates being closed, we have still had a few vehicles broken into.  We would like to remind you to please lock your vehicles and not leave anything of great value or worth in them. 

Also, if you see anything, please report it to the police immediately.  It is also helpful for the board if we are made aware but it is not necessary.

Weed Killer “Recipe”

½ gallon Apple Cider Vinegar

¼ cup table salt

½ tsp Dawn liquid dish soap

Mix together in spray bottle and spray weeds thoroughly. 

Safe for use in yards used by children and pets.

Thank you Sheila for sharing!
