ANNOUNCEMENTS

Dear Carlton Glen Estates Homeowner(s):

On behalf of your Board of Trustees and DNI Properties, Inc., we extend our best wishes for a wonderful New Year! After careful consideration of the upcoming year’s expenses by your board members, we are pleased to announce that there will be no increase in the annual assessment fee for 2024. Your invoice is enclosed, along with a copy of the 2024 budget. To ensure proper and timely credit, please review the important information listed below:

Annual assessements are due March 15th and considered delinquent if received after April 15th. Late payments will be assessed as late notice administrative charges, along with interest as permitted by your governing documents.  

Payments by mail should be sent at least 7 days prior to your delinquent date. To avoid late charges, payment must be received and processed by your Association’s bank
prior to the delinquent date. Missing account information will cause processing delays.

Make your check payable to your Association and include the remittance portion of your invoice in the envelope. Mail your payment to the Association's Bank lockbox:

HOA Board Vote Results

We are pleased to welcome our
Newest HOA Board Member, Jennifer McKee. This year we had our largest
participation in voting for the new Board position. We would like to thank all
of our candidates who ran for the Board and also to thank Jesse Barban for his
dedication and service to our community these past few years.

Ballot Voting Responses:

As noticed on the ballot, three additional questions were added to provide the Board
with feedback on our performance and some changes that we could make to better serve you. The responses are provided below with a message regarding each one.

Question 1: Should the Board be stricter on enforcement of ALL indentures?

Majority Vote by almost 2 to 1 margin – Yes.

What does this mean? The Board will take a more active role in policing the neighborhood with respect to indenture violations. Most common violations are trash cans left out, yard upkeep, and other items not stored properly
or out of sight. Property owners will be contacted via mail with
violations and duration of time to remediate.

Question 2: Should the Board open a vote to introduce a new indenture limiting the number of properties that can allow renters?

Majority Vote 3 to 1 margin – Yes

What does this mean? The Board will work to add an indenture limiting the number of properties that will allow renters. In order to add, modify, or change an indenture, the bylaws specify a majority of the property owners to vote Yes. This means that 66%, or 332 properties will need to vote Yes
to add the indenture. What we have seen in communities across the US is that caps are placed on percentages of properties allowed for rent, such as 10% or 20% of the total number of properties. To provide further context, only 127 properties voted in our latest vote.

Question 3: Should the Board make it a priority to install electricity and clean up the small pond off of Glengarry Drive and Glengarry Ct?

Majority Vote 2 to 1 margin – No

What does this mean? The Board will need to assess the grounds around the small pond to ensure a maintenance plan is established and upkeep is maintained. We will re-evaluate options with Solitude and at this moment, pause on installation of electricity until further discussions occur with experts.

A Message From Jenn:

I want to personally thank you all in our Carlton Glen community for your vote and support!  I appreciate those of you taking the time to contact me and inquire about what I value in Carlton Glen and why I care about our community! 

I am thankful for your confidence in me, and I look forward to meeting all of you and continuing to make Carlton Glen a beautiful place to call home! 

Carlton Glen Key Items

 Please pay attention to the
below for important community information.

Pool:

Prior to the pool being open, early Spring of 2024, our pool will be replastered. As we are all aware, cloudiness was an
often occurrence at the pool. Due to the pool servicing company, we have switched to Bi-State Pools. They will perform maintenance 6 days a week along with replastering our pool.

The pool will open on Saturday, May 25, 2024 with
hours of 7:00 am until 8:30 pm.

Replacement cards will be $10/card and you can contact Chad Duchnowski or carltonglenhoa@gmail.com for replacement cards.

Trash Can Storage:

Trash cans may be set out after sundown on the day before trash pick-up day and should be stored by sundown and/or after pickup occurs on trash day. Trash cans will need to be stored out of sight, within the improvements on each lot. See enclosure guidelines below and complete an architectural request.

Recreational Vehicles & Boats:

Aside from a temporary Board-approved timeframe, no trailers, campers, boats, or
other recreational vehicles are permitted to be parked or stored on any Lot unless stored inside an enclosed garage. Please reach out to the Board at carltonglenhoa@gmail.com to inform of loading, unloading, and cleaning of recreational items.

Temporary Structures:

No structure of a temporary character, trailer, tent, shack, garage, metal, wooden or plastic shed, barn or other building shall be installed, constructed or maintained on any Lot at any time.
