Bridgeport Commons Homeowners and Residence,

Spring is here with summer right around the corner. We have some reminders to help make this a safe and happy season.

First and most importantly is the safety of children in the community. Parents, do you know where your children are playing? Small children should not be near or around the ponds at any time. If you have older children that may take younger siblings along, please stress to them the responsibility that is expected of them to take care of these youngsters. You hear it on the news all the time where a young child has wandered into one of these retention ponds. We don’t want that to be any of our neighbors,

Go carts and mini bikes are not allowed on the city streets. This is a city ordinance and violators will be referred to the city for enforcement. Possible confiscation of the vehicle may and probably will occur along with the fines imposed.

Lawn: A well kept land and yard do more to sell a community and fill empty homes than anything, especially during warm weather. Failure to care for your lawn could result in the association having it cut at the rate of $65.00 per cut. (Please see your Covenants and Restrictions) This includes keeping grass cut and weeds removed.

Siding: Several homes have siding missing due to all the wind and storms. This needs to be addressed and repaired as soon as it happens. The siding missing allows for excessive moisture to get into your home, this can cause severe damage if left unattended. Also covered under the Architectural Guidelines these repairs are required for the aesthetics of the community.

Trash Cans: An ongoing problem for some of our homeowners. Trash day is Friday; this means trash cans may be set out as early as Thursday evening for pick up. However from Friday evening to Thursday evening trash cans should not be visible from the street. This means they should not be in front of garage doors or on the side of the house. (See Covenants and Restrictions)

Continued disregard of any of the Covenant and Restrictions will result in the association filing a covenant violation. What that means to you as a homeowner is attorney costs and if necessary court costs. These costs can all be passed on to you based on the Covenants of the community.

Enclosed is the latest copy of the Architectural Guidelines, these guidelines and all documents are available to you on our community web site. Remember you need to complete, submit and receive an approval of your Architectural Request prior to any construction beginning.

Community Safety: Please turn your outside lights on each night. We have been lucky as of late, concerning vandalism. Lights on for safety works and may just save you from potential harm.

Children in the streets: Please watch for children when driving throughout the community and stress this to your young drivers as well. Our goal is for everyone to have a safe and happy summer.

GARAGE SALE: The annual garage sale will be held Saturday June 9^th. From 8:00 am – 3:00 pm.

The association will supply signs and newspaper ad.

Fishing on Ponds: For those who wish to enjoy fishing in our ponds, we practice a catch and release policy. This will let everyone enjoy the sport of fishing.

Basketball Goals: Per City Ordinance at no time should play be in ride-a-way. They are to be used in driveway areas only.

Advertize Services: Any homeowner wishing to offer a service in the community is welcome to have their information put on our website. If you have teens that wish to cut grass or do odd jobs or if you are willing to help with handyman services, contact Barbara at Admiral Property Management and supply your information.

Board of Directors: The annual meeting held in January did not provide a quorum and we did not have volunteers to join the Board. There are currently 3 available seats on the board. We are enclosing nomination forms in this mailing and asking for anyone interested in participating to please complete the form and submit by May 18.

Being a member of the Board does not take a lot of your time. It simply gives you the opportunity to be involved in what is going on in your community.

Sincerely,
Board of Directors
Bridgeport Commons HOA
