Spring 2018 Newsletter

Board of Directors

The Misty Glen HOA has a newly appointed board for 2018! Please welcome our new President, Patrick May and board members, Erin Chudd, Heather Hess and Lindsey White.  

The new board members met in March to plan events and improvements for 2018. The board voted to move forward on adding additional fencing at the front entrance, along with repairing the brick and replacing the old lighting.  These items will be contracted out to local vendors in the next view months.

The board also picked dates in April for the annual yard sale and a date to celebrate “Earth Day” as a community. Please see page 3 for details on these events.

 2018 Assessment Fee

This year the board is using HOA funds to hire attorney, David E. Belding, to collect past due assessment fees.  This process included putting a lien on several homes in the community that owe more than two years of HOA fees. If you have questions regarding this process, please contact:

Melinda Neeley Poore, Management Representative

MAINTENANCE/UPKEEP/CLEANING

Our community is almost 20 years old and homes are in need of some TCL.  We have listed some of the maintenance items below.

  1. Mailbox Replacement and/or Repair.  

  2. Painting of trim and chair railing and garage doors (white)

  3. Painting of shutters and doors to match original colors (note: black is a color that is pre-approved by the board if you would like to change your original green, blue or brown color)

  4. Pressure washing of homes and driveways

  5. Landscaping/yard maintenance: Cutting of shrubs, grass, trimming of trees and general yard clean up; including dead shrubs that need removing/replacing.

If you choose to repair your current mailbox, we ask that you paint the post and mailbox black. If you are purchase a new mailbox, please purchase a black post and mailbox that is similar to the one located at 117 Misty Glen Circle. This style can be purchased at Lowe’s or online at Amazon. It easily installs over the current wooden post of our original mailboxes without having to install a new post.

Several homes have lots of planters in their front yard that are not being maintained.  Please move these planters to your back yard and please keep all containers empty to help with mosquito issues within the community.
