Our quarterly meeting was held on May 6, 2025. We want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Hampel for allowing us to use their resort area for our meeting.
Our next meeting will be August 5, 2025, at 700 pm at 4400 W. MacArthur.
Old Business:
A new HOA company will not be hired at this time as it was felt that they were uncooperative and hard to get a hold of. The HOA business will continue to be monitored by the Board.
Entrance signs have been completed and installed.
Beaver issue on the lake will be resolved as we have hired a company to install traps in various places along the lake. DO NOT TOUCH OR GO NEAR THESE TRAPS.
3 of the 4 inoperable vehicles have been removed as requested.
We now have a new liability insurance company covering the lake as our old company decided to drop all HOA policies.
New Business:
The company that takes care of the common areas has been notified and will be mowing the common areas behind the new duplexs. Be patient....the rain has gotten them a little behind but they will catch up. We know its getting high back there.
The voting process took place this past meeting and it was voted that the current Board will remain in tact with the addition of 2 new members. Dennis Hampel, President, Sam Smith, Vice President, Connie Hampel, Treasurer, Sharron Wahl, Secretary....Board members: Chloe Connaghan, James Juckett and Susan Decker- Mayer.
11 properties have changed hands and 12 more properties are pending sale.
Trees along the new section ( along the lake) behind the duplexs will be getting trees this fall.
Dragonfly to trim the trees along 47th street and the wall.
CHANGE IN COVENDANTS:
It was discussed the changes that will be coming in the near future as we are opening the covenants to bring them up to date. THIS WILL REQUIRE THE COMMUNITY TO VOTE ON THESE. I WILL BE SENDING OUT BALLOTS TO THE HOMEOWNERS IN THE COMING WEEKS.
1 - NO SHORT TERM RENTALS...No VRBO or Air B-N-B's....all rentals must be at least 12 months. Short term leases come under small business and that is already in the covenants.
2- No foreign flags....you may fly your favorite sports team, military branch, POW flags etc but NO FOREIGN STATE FLAGS.
3 - NO SOLAR PANELS are to be installed in the development or duplex area.
4 - 15 max shrubs/trees. This is a case by case issue and must be approved by the board if exceeding these numbers
5 - WILDLIFE : no feeding of wild life in the community. this includes but not limited to: GEESE, Deer, stray cats, Beavers, squirrels, raccoons. etc. These are considered "nuisance wildlife". You may have a bird feeder for small birds.
6- NO FRONT YARD FURNITURE : No lawn furniture grills, smokers, patio furniture to be housed on the front of the Lot. All said furniture can be used in driveways during daylight hours but by sundown, said items must be put away, out of sight from the front of the property.

REMINDER: Waste Connections is our ONLY garbage collection agency in the Angel Fire development. Please make sure you call they to get your discount.
Susan (one of our Board members) has reached out to the Public Works Dept regarding the pond levels and the problems we have with that. More to come on this matter. (Susan was out of town for the meeting so we will discuss at may meeting)
Yearly dues bills will be mailed out January 1st, 2025. Please make sure they are paid in full by March 1, 2025 as to not incur late charges.
All new homes that boarder the pond CANNOT HAVE WOOD FENCES. They must be the black iron fences as seen within the community at this time. ANY fences that are erected with the wrong material will need to be changed to the correct material. With that being said, no fences within the community can drape a covering over the black iron fences to obtain any type of privacy. If you have a wood fence and a black iron gate, you may change that gate out to a wood gate to match your fence at your expense.
We (the HOA) do not know when the duplex sprinklers will be turned on for the spring/summer 2025. Please check with your property management company.
We would like to welcome the many new homeowners to our community. Our quarterly meetings are held at 4400 W. MacArthur Road on the first Tuesday of the quarterly month. (FEBRUARY, MAY, AUGUST, NOVEMBER) Please join us as it is open to all homeowners. Signage is put out at the entrances as a reminder .
We understand that the new duplex homes have LOTS of questions regarding their water and sprinkler system. Here's what we know: The sprinklers ELECTRIC feeding the common areas along the pond will be paid for by the association. ALL wells and electric and maintenance is the HOMEOWNERS RESPONSIBILITY. WORK THIS OUT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOUR REALTOR, YOUR TITLE COMPANY, YOUR BUILDER. THE HOA WILL NOT be responsible for maintenance of any kind regarding the wells, sprinklers, winterization, spring opening etc.
Please do NOT feed the geese. They are becoming a problem to the homeowners along the lake.
YARD MAINTANENCE:
There are MANY yards that are in need of some real attention. Weeds need to be pulled or weed wacked down and general grooming of the yards are necessary. Trimming of the sidewalks and curbing areas need done also. Homeowners need to pay attention to the "grass" clause in the covenants. 80% of your yard needs to be grass, not weeds. Also, 4 trees are to be planted in your yard and no more than 15 shrubs. It is understood that some yards cannot have this many trees/bushes due to size. We understand this, so please, just use good common sense and plant at least one tree.
I am asked to remind you that the rocks around the lake are not to be thrown into the lake. This is a catch and release lake only. Residents are not allowed to leave fishing poles and such in the lake unattended. This is a safety hazard. Please remove all of your items including trash when you leave the lake area. Please DO NOT throw trash in the lake.
Please check this website within 24 hours of the meeting to make sure meeting is still on or if we needed to reschedule.
The Board has adopted a couple new addendums to the covenants. You have received a copy of them in your door. Please attach them to your copy of covenants. If you do not have a copy, please let me know and I will get you a set.
1: SHRUBS: page 8 5.2 part C; sub part 15: Our current bylaws read : you shall plant at least 12 shrubs or trees . The ADDENDUM reads.....NOT TO EXCEED 15. Also 80% of your lawn MUST BE GRASS.
2: VEHICLES AND TRAILERS: page 10 part 5.15 will now include A FINE OF $100.00 PER MONTH ADDED TO YOU YEARLY DUES FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE NON RUNNING, NON REGISTERED AND STORED ON THE OPEN LOT OF YOUR PROPERTY, IN FRONT OF YOUR HOME,IN THE STREET ETC. THIS INCLUDES YOUR TRAILERS, WAVERUNNERS, BOATS ETC. You can store them in your garage with no penalty.
We appreciate your cooperation in these matters.
**Reminder** Please keep your animals on a leash when walking them in the neighborhood and PLEASE clean up after them once they have done their "business" on someone else's lawn. This would be greatly appreciated.
