Letter to the Co-Owners

Dear Co-Owners',
We understand you may have questions about the recent delay in sending out payment
coupons. We want to assure you that this was primarily due to the time it took to finalize
our insurance renewal.

Once the insurance renewal was completed, we were able to process and mail the
coupons as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have
caused.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Guy Balok, Treasurer, and Joe Poma, Property Manager

Co-Owner Forum:
A few residents have raised concerns about the
condition of a neighbor’s unit. The installation of a fence, gate,
steps on common ground, and the absence of a rat wall in the
back area are violations of the association’s rules. Additionally,
the interior is currently being remodeled, and contractors are
discarding items from the second-story window and causing
damage to shrubs. Moreover, the front window remains
boarded up. The matter will likely be taken to court if the
owners do not address these violations.
In another incident, a sewage backup was in a
building on Ironwood Ct. Several residents have inquired
about potential solutions, as this marks the third backup in
the past five to six months. The aging pipes have developed
jagged edges over time, which items can get snagged on.
Still, a previous video inspection shows that the pipes are
fine. Horton Plumbing has cleared the pipes, but residents
continue to flush non-flushable items such as wipes, dental
floss, and dental picks. A robocall was sent to remind residents
not to flush these items, and the board has proposed that
the residents coordinate a building or court-wide meeting to
discuss the problem amongst themselves.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:59 p.m.

FIREPLACE AND CHIMNEY CLEANING POLICY

(Short-Form)

Issued and Passed by the Board of Directors: October 1, 2005

The National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) cites one major cause of home heating fires as a lack of regular
cleaning and resultant creosote and nesting material build-up in wood-burning devices, associated chimneys and
connectors.

Highland Lakes Condominium Association, in the interest of reducing the likelihood of fires resulting from
improperly maintained fireplaces and chimneys, requires that all fireplaces and chimneys be inspected and cleaned
by a qualified, licensed and properly insured contractor on an annual basis. This policy, as approved and adopted
by the Board of Directors, is mandatory for all units containing a fireplace.

Responsibilities:

Highland Lakes has adopted a Fireplace and Chimney Cleaning and Inspection Policy. The Association shall be
responsible for publishing co-owner notification in the Herald and making this program mandatory for all units
containing a fireplace.

Owners are responsible for ensuring access to each fireplace and chimney in accordance with normal Association
procedures, scheduling the annual inspection and cleaning, maintaining the fireplace and appurtenant hardware and
responsibly using the fireplace as designed.

The contractor shall diligently perform all duties per N.F.P.A. and building codes. The inspection and cleaning
report shall disclose in writing the name of the owner, street address, unit number, date of service, name of
technician, findings of the inspection, description of the service provided and confirm that the fireplace and
appurtenant hardware and chimney are safe or unsafe for normal usage. A copy of this report shall be given to the
owner and a signed true copy to Highland Lakes. Further, if the fireplace is found unsafe, the contractor shall red
tag the unit and immediately notify the Property Manager or Maintenance Superintendent, and the owner of the unit.

The owner(s) of each condominium unit shall be responsible for the cost to inspect, clean, and maintain their unit’s
fireplace, flue and chimney. Repairs to the fireplace, firebox, firebricks, flue, and chimney up to the point of the
roofline shall be the sole responsibility of the condominium owner. Repairs to the chimney roof enclosure, screen
and/or vent pipe above the roofline shall be the responsibility of the Association.

Notes:

1) A full-copy of the Fireplace and Chimney Cleaning Policy is available free of charge, at the clubhouse, to
any co-owner or occupant.
2) Fireplaces and wood burning appliances are used to a greater extent during the winter months or colder
weather. This is the time when fires typically occur due to a failure to clean and inspect. HLCA is
advising all residents of this issue. Your own inspection of your fireplace and the ability to see daylight as
you look up the chimney is not a sufficient determining factor that the fireplace is fit for use. Creosote, ash
deposits, nesting material, etc. may be bound to the inside walls and look like the wall itself. A qualified
professional must do the work.

 Ice Cream Extravaganza
It was a perfect night for the Ice Cream Extravaganza event at Highland Lakes. People lined
up to get a scoop of ice cream and choose their own special toppings. The weather was warm
enough for those who chose to take a dip in the pool. Meanwhile we were all treated to the
excellent and diversified tunes provided by
Plan B. Everyone seemed to enjoy this band
and there were many positive comments. This
event was well attended by adults and children
alike. Several children enjoyed sitting on the
terrace and played cards while others had a
blast dancing to the music.
The Ice Cream Extravaganza is always a
popular event and this one was no exception.
Many thanks to the Social Committee and the
volunteers who worked to make this special
night a great success!
