Dear Homeowners,

As 2008 approaches, we want to thank each of you for a wonderful 2007! Taking over an HOA isn’t always easy, but because of your cooperation and contributions, things have been extremely smooth and virtually problem free. We, as a board, are excited to continue donating our time and attention to serving you and are grateful that you too have been so willing to help.

Also, thank you for being so cooperative on complying to Draper’s parking policies so well. The towing company has been amazed that they haven’t found business in our neighborhood yet. Let’s continue to keep the streets and driveways clear between 12am and 6am, and to respect that visitor parking is typically for visitors, not tenants.

So, on to some business:

HOA Dues: Enclosed you will find our new HOA coupon books, and you will find an increase in dues. After reviewing our budgets and crunching numbers, we noticed some landscaping and insurance expenses weren’t fully accounted for previously. In order to continue running our community smoothly, the board found it necessary to raise our dues to $130 to avoid future complications. We believe you understand our concern to wisely manage our funds and keep our accounts problem free.

Holiday Decorations: We encourage holiday displays (that are tasteful, of course) and remind you that the use of nails and screws to hang holiday decorations is not allowed on the exteriors of the community (no permanent fixtures).

A Few Community Expectations: Remember to keep all common space and limited common space (like your back yards) clean and orderly. For example:

· Keep alleyways between the homes free of personal belongings.

· Garbage should be tightly bagged before placed in garbage cans (we’ve had problems with the wind blowing trash out of the cans). Also, garbage cans should be stored in your garages and not in the alleyways or back yards.

· Any plans to make meaningful changes to your back yard must be submitted to your Street Rep and approved by the board. This includes the installation of hot tubs, pergolas and other porch coverings, etc.

Neighborhood Watch: Let’s continue to watch out for our community during the increase in visitors to our community during the holiday season. If you observe anything suspicious, let your Street Representative and/or the local police know, immediately. An added measure of awareness can make a big difference towards having a safe and enjoyable holiday season.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and we wish each happy holidays, and we look forward to an amazing 2008.

Best Holiday Wishes,
Wyngate Commons HOA Board
