Old cahaba news update

We wanted to send a few quick updates on some upcoming items within the community.
​

1) Covenant Amendment Proposal - The requirements for the first phase of this process were satisfied, thank you to everyone who returned the response form! We needed 335 back and ended up with 385. The next phase will begin in January. At that time the official legal wording of the proposed amendment change will be sent to all owners for a vote. We will then need 2/3 of the community, or 883 homes, to cast their vote for or against the change. We will send plenty more information in the weeks to come as we approach this next phase. 


2) Parking / Towing- As you are aware the Board recently adopted a revised policy regarding covenant enforcement and the penalties for covenant violations. Those took effect on November 1st. One of the biggest issues we continue to see is parking on sidewalks. Not only is this a clear violation of the Association covenants, it is a violation of local and state law as well as being a major safety issue. Not to mention the aesthetic aspect and its potential effect on property values. In the near future the HOA is going to coordinate with a local tow truck company to begin addressing this as necessary. The normal standard violation procedure will be followed with the requisite amount of written notice with ample time to correct the issue. If the sidewalk parking persists a sticker will be placed on the vehicle giving a final notice, followed shortly thereafter by a call to the tow truck company. Please note that ideally this wouldn't happen even a single time; it is nobody's goal or desire to have the tow truck come. But with the rampant sidewalk parking that continues to take place routinely this was the next course of action. If you have visitors to the home please have them park in the street opposed to the yard or sidewalk. The Association covenants do not restrict street parking, and although the City of Helena has local ordinance against it it's only if longer than 4 consecutive hours and an officer has documented the time. 

3) Public Board Meeting - The HOA Board will hold another public meeting similar to the one that took place in September. This one will be held on Sunday, December 1st from 4:00 - 5:30pm in the clubhouse. All homeowners are invited to attend.

Thank you everyone. We hope you have a great Thanksgiving and we will see you on Sunday!
