These families attended the meeting – Cosmos, Zabrocki, Daniel, S. Martin, Culbertson, T. Perry, S. Perry, Duncan, Wuest, Canfield, Larson, Davis, Snow (19 total residents)

We had a good turnout of residents at the meeting. Dave Canfield thanked Lin for hosting us on her beautiful deck. Dave also recognized Brent Larson for many years of service on the architectural committee. Jim Cosmos will lead this committee going forward with the expert guidance of Brent.

Our dues are used to cover the maintenance and upkeep of the retaining pond and entrances, street lights, insurance, and taxes. Annual dues amount is determined by the expenses and what we have on reserve. We try to keep about $10,000 in reserve because maintenance of the retaining pond, if there was an issue, could be very expensive.

Architectural Committee:
The architectural committee is in place to oversee the uniformity and safety of our
neighborhood. The shrubs in front of our signs at the two entrances are too high, making it difficult to see “Farms”. The Cosmos’ have volunteered to remove those shrubs and will investigate a low ground cover or something similar to replace them with.

The contractor we have maintaining the entrances and the retaining pond area has reported that literally hundreds of animal waste bags are washing into the pond. It has been suggested that we install cameras to monitor and try to find out who the offenders are. It was brought up that there is a lot of bamboo growing around the retention pond.

Parking on the streets has improved since the newsletter went out; however, Dave asks that the residents never block another resident’s driveway.

Dave Canfield reminded the homeowners (whose properties back up to Pine or Owens) that is their responsibility to mow the entire area all the way to the road. The county occasionally mows this as a courtesy, but it is not their obligation to do so. Affected properties are encouraged to comply.

Jim Cosmos will contact the county concerning cracks in the streets of SRF.

Many of the mailboxes are looking poorly, it was suggested that residents, clean, repaint or repair as needed.

Covenants: We have a draft of revised covenants, bringing them in compliance with state and county requirements. Dave Canfield said he would like to get the marked-up version, showing the changes to the previous version, on the website for all residents to review. The changes which bring them into compliance will not require a vote. The only change that would require a vote is related to short-term rentals of <30 days and is found in 2.19. Each residence is allowed one vote, and the vote to approve requires 75% the approval of residents, which is 54. Placing the ballot with the annual dues bill was discussed and determined to be the best way to handle the vote. The plan is to try to get the approval early 2027, so the revised bylaws can take effect shortly thereafter.

Dear Homeowners,

The Silver Ridge Farms HOA Board of Directors is providing this update to all Silver Ridge Farms Homeowners as part of our communication plan.  As significant events occur and updates are needed, we want to make the information easily available to everyone. To that end, we are adding the following:

1. Our website, silverridgefarms.org is setup to house all things HOA related, including covenants, notices, reminders, and contact information for the board and architectural committee and more.
2. Email links to Board and Committees are available on the website to allow for faster, more direct communication for all members.
3. The Facebook group, “Silver Ridge Farms HOA” remains a Private Group available to our homeowners for sharing information in a “family friendly” manner and is often the fastest way to get a message out to the community if needed.
4. We will be hosting an in-person Association Annual Meeting on October 18, 6:30 PM, at the Wuest’s home, 5 Creek Crossing Way. This will allow our homeowners to get out and meet their neighbors while discussing HOA plans and issues with the Board.  Please bring your own chairs.

Reminders for Members of the HOA

Several items were discussed at a recent HOA Board of Directors meeting:

1. Parking Violations.

2. Disposal of Pet Waste Bags

3. Covenant Revisions: The Board is working on and updating several provisions in our current (original) HOA covenants to reflect State or County laws and ordinances more accurately.  The review of the covenants also presented the opportunity to clean up the original language by removing the references to the developers and so forth.  The result of the review is Amended and Restated Covenants for Silver Ridge Farms HOA that are compliant with State and County ordinances and will be much easier to read.  While the changes made to provisions to align them with State or County ordinances do not require an HOA vote, other proposed changes do require a 2/3 majority vote.  To facilitate an adequate review period for everyone the amended covenants will soon be posted on the website.  The Board welcomes any questions or discussion on the proposed changes prior to a final vote on the new covenants.  A due date and method for voting will be determined and communicated soon.

Please join us for our annual HOA meeting on Monday, October 19^th.

We would love to host the 3^rd annual block party, as the weather starts cooling down. We are currently looking at Saturday, September 30^th.

Please let us know if you think that date could work. Like previous years, we will have hot dogs, games for the kids, college football etc.

If there was enough interest and maybe a couple of families willing to help out, we would love to reserve an obstacle course and/or water slide for all the kids again.
