REMODELING AND ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY AMENITIES
Raintree Village Homeowner’s Association (The Association) is in the
midst of a three year process of adding and renovating amenities. As
expressed during Board and annual meetings, we recognized the necessity
to implement much needed upgrades and consider installing
additional amenities.
Over the course of 2018 and perhaps into 2019, you will notice major
renovations and installations to
• The pool house (bathrooms, replacing canopy, repairing the roof,
wood trim and painting all aspects of the facility)
• Installing a covered picnic area, fence and trash receptacle near clubhouse
(similar to pocket park located on Linden Tree Drive & Westgreen)
• Working with new landscaper to repair community sprinkler system,
upgrade plants at major community entrances and mulch around our
trees and
We recognize the necessity for additional lighting at the Clay Road
entrance. Estimates and alternatives such painting the entrance sign
with reflective paint are being considered. As a Board, we continue
to exercise ongoing due diligence and prudent decisions towards
managing the affairs and funds for the association. We welcome recommendations
from residents as we strive to exercise the necessary
due diligence.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
During the 2017 annual meeting as well as several Board meetings,
you (fellow residents) suggested more community events. In an effort
to meet this demand, a community cook off has been added to our
2018 community event list.
The purpose of all community events is to provide opportunities
whereby neighbors can come out get to know each other and have
fun. Look for email alerts, the HOA website and banners for additional
information as the scheduled date approaches. To ensure each event
is successful, volunteers are needed.

COMMON VIOLATIONS OF DEED RESTRICTIONS
Raintree Village is a deed restricted community aimed at ensuring
there’s aesthetic uniformity between residential properties and that
certain other activities are limited. If you intend to do anything to the
exterior of your home, you must complete an application for home
improvements and modifications form. This includes installing a
storage shed in your backyard.
There’s also an expectation that all residents will maintain their yard
and general appearance of the home. Common violations include
overgrown yards, mold on homes, trashcans visible from the street and
disabled vehicles. Our management company, KPM, drives through our
community at least once a week assessing compliance with the deed
restrictions. Any violations are communicated in a letter along with a
picture of the violation (date & time stamped).
It’s understandable that issuing or receiving such letters can be perceived
as a nuisance. Yet, it’s necessary so that all of us remain on
the same page of what constitutes a well-kept community (i.e. deed
restrictions). In general, the Management Company and HOA Board
understand residents are busy. Therefore, you are encouraged to
contact the management company (KPM) when a violation cannot be
addressed within stated timeframes noted in the letter.
It cannot be emphasized enough that communication is the key if you
do not understand a violation. You should also contact KPM once the
violation has been resolved. Again, contact KPM or attend our HOA
Board meetings for additional clarification.
