January 2024 By-Laws Message
Dear Metamora neighbors,
Subject: Setting Expectations for our community bylaws
Happy New Year. We hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. As a
community, we are committed to maintaining a peaceful and attractive neighborhood for
all our residents. To achieve this, it is essential that we all have respect for our
neighbors and adhere to certain expectations and guidelines to ensure the well-being
and overall satisfaction of our homeowners. That said, if we can establish the respect
needed to follow the guidelines and communicate as neighbors, this should be easy to
accomplish. As it stands, we as the HOA Board will not search out issues or walk
around looking for them, but do have to react to complaints or issues that may come in
from time to time. That is the job of our HOA Board.
As we spoke about at the annual meeting, we would like to set some expectations
around some of the more significant bylaws that as a community we believe we should
adhere to at all times.
• Property Maintenance:
• Regularly maintain your property, including landscaping, exterior paint,
and repairs.
• Keep your yard clean and free of debris.
• Ensure your property’s appearance is in line with the community's
guidelines in the bylaws
• Waste Water Treatment Plant
• Complying with the best practices regarding the community wastewater to
ensure the appropriate functioning of the plant.
• Architectural Guidelines:
• Comply with the architectural guidelines in place when making any
exterior changes or additions to your property.
• Seek approval from the HOA before starting any construction or
renovation projects both to your house and your lot.
• Noise Control:
• Be mindful of noise levels during daytime and nighttime hours.
• Respect your neighbors' right to a quiet environment.
• Pet Regulations:
• Adhere to the community's pet rules, including leash laws, waste
disposal, and noise control.
Parking:
• Park your vehicles in designated areas and not on the street when
possible.
• RV’s and all recreation vehicles are allowed for a few days to
unload/clean from a vacation or load/prepare for upcoming vacations
• Do not block driveways or impede traffic flow.
• Road Safety:
• Respecting speed limits to ensure road safety.
• Trash and Recycling:
• Place your bins out only on the night before the scheduled collection days
and promptly return them to their designated storage areas.
• Community Events:
• Participate in and support community events and activities.
• Contribute positively to the sense of community and neighborly
interaction.
• HOA Dues:
• Ensure prompt payment of HOA dues to support essential community
services and maintenance.
• Communication:
• Stay informed about community updates and HOA news on the
community website. https://www.metamorahoa.com/
• Attend HOA meetings and engage in open, respectful communication
with your fellow residents.
• If you have issues with a neighbor, please attempt to chat with and
resolve the issue before getting the board involved. Most of the time we
find that simple communication can solve many issues.
We believe that by adhering to these expectations, we can continue to have a
community where everyone feels comfortable, safe and proud to call it their home.
Please remember that the rules and guidelines set forth by our HOA are designed to
protect property values, maintain community standards, and promote the overall wellbeing
of our residents. This letter, while addressing the overarching expectations of our
HOA, it does not address everything in the bylaws. Please take time to go to the
website and re-read the current bylaws for our association(s). We encourage you to
reach out to the HOA board if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your cooperation in making our community an even more exceptional
place to live. Your contribution is invaluable to achieving our shared vision.
