New to the community

Dear New Homeowner:

Welcome to our neighborhood and congratulations on the purchase of your home!

On behalf of the Homeowners Association Board of Directors, we would like to welcome you to your new home and our community. Over the coming months we look forward to meeting you whether it be walking down the streets, at the pool, or a community activity.

The operation of your homeowners association is governed by a board of volunteer directors and a Management Team (Core Community Management). The Board of Directors is elected by the community to oversee the daily functions and financial responsibilities of the Association. The Board is also responsible for maintaining members’ compliance with the established covenants and bylaws of the Association. They have specific provisions regarding what can and cannot be done on your property. Please take the time to read through the Bylaws and Covenants documents you received during the home purchase process. Copies are available on the community web site.

This community web site is the official communication channel between the Board of Directors and the membership. Upcoming activities and events, announcements, a community calendar, bylaws, architectural review forms, and volunteer committee information can all be found here. Please take a few minutes to visit and familiarize yourself with its resources and get to know your community. Please remember to register on the website with a valid email address to insure delivery of important communications from your HOA Board.

Core Community Management should be contacted for service issues on community property, complaints regarding specific bylaw violations and for any questions regarding your annual homeowners’ dues assessment.

As a new homeowner, you may already have some ideas on how you’d like to improve your property. Please keep in mind, the Association has an Architectural Review Committee to help maintain the quality of our neighborhood. Its function is to evaluate the plans for all exterior landscaping, repairs and remodeling to ensure compliance with all Covenants and Bylaws. The purpose of this review is to protect our scenic environment and maintain the value of our homes. All modifications to the exterior of your property, including repainting with the same color, must be submitted to the Architectural Committee for approval before any work begins. If work is started without prior approval, the homeowner risks being cited for a covenant violation and may be required to alter or remove the changes at significant additional cost.

Again, welcome to the Applegate community! We look forward to you falling in love with this neighborhood as much as we have. We know you’ll find our neighborhood is a great place to live and we encourage your participation in our activities and functions.

Sincerely, 

The Homeowners Association Board
