Fall Picnic- yes, the SummerFest that has been the first weekend of June has been moved to the fall this year! We have now booked the Vogt Bros Park Pavilion for Saturday, September 15! We are still working out all the details of this fun event, so stay tuned….just mark your calendars so you can attend!
 
Siding Questions- Well, since a lot of us got hit with golf ball and larger hail recently a question was raised about the siding having to match if only one or 2 sides of a home were to be replaced instead of the whole home. We do not have in the covenants a specific statement about this, other then general upkeep of the home being of a good standard. So we went to the Code office at the city. There again is not a specific code that siding needs to match (we are talking possible shades of gray or brown- not purple and pink!). However, the property maintenance code does state that all work needs to be done in a workmanship like manner. If your insurance adjuster needs to discuss this, please have them contact the Code Enforcement office for the City.
 
Clean Up Day- the Board, City Code Office and the St Charles Preservation Group are teaming up to schedule a neighborhood clean up day for us! We are still working out a date, so stay tuned, but start getting ready! There will be more details, but this is where we can dump old electronics, equipment, couches…etc right from the front door! We will also work at trying to do this with Southern Oaks also. This is one where we will need volunteers to help with a variety of functions for one morning only! There will be more details once we set a date and what can be dumped! Stay tuned!
