Construction News
  • Several sales have happened in the community.  Lot 7 (the last home on the right side of Trailhead Lane) has sold and closed.  Lot 30 (the market home for sale on the left side of Trailhead Lane), has sold. The model home has also sold.
  • The final vacant lot (Lot 10 on Side Saddle) started construction and will complete in about 2-3 months.  It will be an Alistar design market home.
Financial Items
  • Q2 Financials have been attached.  Finances are sound and in good order. If you have questions please feel free to contact us.  Deviations from the budget come from homes in the community not closing when anticipated.
  • In the next few months the board will create the 2015 budget.  We will keep residents informed of any changes that might happen because of that.
Rules and Regulations
  • It has been awhile since there has been construction in the community.  The Board would like to remind everyone  to please watch your speed.  There will be trucks/equipment parked in the street and workers moving about the area making our tight streets a little tighter.
  • A quick note on exterior maintenance.  The Board would like to remind everyone that exterior maintenance is the responsibility of the homeowner.  However the rules do require everyone keep their properties in good, presentable condition.  Please keep up on maintenance items such as faded paint, exterior damage repairs, and other general exterior items.
  • Please remember that recreation in the streets is not permitted.  We do not have sidewalks, forcing pedestrians to share the road with cars.  Please watch your speeds and drive carefully!
Landscaping & Design
  • The landscape and design forms have been updated on the website.  They now include a generic lot diagram.  When you are submitting your request please include the rough locations of items.  If you have your own diagram please feel free to submit it instead.  This will provide the committees and board with a better idea of your project.
  • Remember if you are planning landscaping or a architectural/design change you must submit a landscaping or design form to the respective committee.  All forms are available on the website.  When you fill them out you can drop them off to the committee chair in person or email them to landscaping@trailheadvillage.com or design@trailheadvillage.com and make sure to read the rules and regulations to see what is and isn’t permitted in the neighborhood.  Please remember that the review process can take up to 21 days to complete.
