Lakemont January 2018

sentative has a copy of the most recent report. Previous violations
are reviewed and either noted as having been brought into compliance
or a second letter is issued. Should a third letter be required,
it is generally a demand letter. If the property remains in violation
following the third letter, the Board of Directors then makes the
decision as to whether the violation is turned over to an attorney
for legal pursuit.
No one likes to receive a letter from the Association noting a violation.
Should you receive a letter; you may want to first look at the
date of the letter. Perhaps the representative was in the community
the day before you mowed your lawn or returned your boat to storage.
In that case, simply dispose of the letter. The remedy of the
violation will be noted on the next community visit. If the violation
noted is still in place, please contact Graham Management with any
questions you may have regarding the noted violation.
One of the most frequent violations noted is yard maintenance. It is
also the source of the most complaints received from homeowners.
Regular mowing, edging and weeding of beds, mulching, fertilization
and watering is critical in providing curb appeal for your home
and in promoting a community that all homeowners are proud to
live in. Your Governing Documents permit your Association to enter
upon your property to perform the necessary lawn maintenance, if
the homeowner is neglectful. In addition, when you purchased your
home, you agreed to properly maintain your property by agreeing
to the deed restrictions that run with your property.
Don’t particularly enjoy yard work? There are a number of companies
available who will provide that service at a nominal price. Don’t
know how to maintain your yard? Sometimes neighbors helping
neighbors can resolve the problem. Be creative!
Lakemont is a beautiful, young community. But remember, being
a good neighbor is more than just maintaining a house and lawn.
Respect for all community rules, residents and community assets
are what make Lakemont a great community in which to live.
