COVINGTON PLACE COMMUNITY-WIDE STANDARDS
Recently, the Board of Directors responded to member frustration, posted on Facebook, about receiving letters from the HOA. In our reply we outlined a series of changes that are in the works and promised to develop a list of community standards and offer them to our members for public comment.
Article 1, Section 1.9 of our Declaration defines Community-Wide Standards as "The standard of conduct, maintenance, or other activity generally prevailing throughout the Properties." We developed this list by observing the results of the hard work, pride and behavior “prevailing" in our community. We hope to start an ongoing conversation about the continuous improvement of our community. This effort will not succeed without consensus from our members. We need and want your input. Please let us know what you think about these standards either by commenting on our CP Facebook Page or replying via email to this edition of our newsletter.
