Hawthorne 2 HOA Covenant Changes - Need Homeowners' Vote by April 25, 2025

The Hawthorne 2 HOA Board of Directors is requesting your 'Yes' or 'No' vote for proposed content to our covenants designed to better manage the renting of homes.  Over the last year multiple residents have approached the board with a concern about a property within our HOA being used as a short-term rental. We also heard from our city council ward representative about local issues with group homes residing within neighborhoods. The board researched and shared a preliminary proposal at the annual meeting in November where we received additional feedback that has been incorporated into the final version now being routed to all HOA members for a vote.  The changes are intended to help protect our homeowner's security and property values.

Two documents have been included to inform you of the proposal. There is a summary document called 'Things to Know' and the second is a snapshot of the actual content that will be inserted into the covenants. Click on the links below to view PDFs of both documents:

Please vote by April 25, 2025. You can vote 'Yes' or 'No' by:

If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact an H2HOA board member: Don Read, Jeff Biggs, Mark Clauss, Cherilyn Sytar, or Toni Wudtke

 Hawthorne II Homeowners’ Association Meeting Minutes 
April 13, 2022 

Board Member Attendance 

Don Read, Mark Clauss, Cherilyn Sytar, Don Sutton, Jeff “CC” Biggs 
*Absent 

Zoom meeting at 6:30 pm 

Capital Improvements 

Discuss landscaping options/bids Cherilyn obtained from F&W, J Jacobs, and Superior Landscaping: 

  • • Refresh landscaping on south side of the dam. 
  • • Refresh landscaping at Inglewood entrances 

 

Cherilyn will obtain updated quote from Jeremy to better compare to Superior Landscaping. Will plan to share new information for board to take action on before next monthly meeting. 

Don S will have Joe Bierbaum provide estimate for repairing/replacing the north inlet pipes and trimming the trees around the monuments. 

Maintenance 

Geese Deterrent – the Goosinator arrived and Don S assembled and has used effectively several times. The geese seem to have mostly left the area, but the unit doesn’t work well in strong winds so we have had to pick and choose when it can be used. Will try to find a time to demo/train more board members on operating. 

Start-up check list: 

Fountains are installed and working, main irrigation system will be opened next week, and the Acres irrigation will be opened later in early May. 

Planning a neighborhood Work Day likely in late Spring for small projects like painting handrails, signage and light posts. Tabled to be reconsidered with more details at the next board meeting. 

Financials 

Review Budget and expenses – little expense activity yet. Did incur new service fee ($17.25) for depositing large number of checks due to the bank conversion to Bank of Pontiac. Waiting for new options to consider. 

Annual Dues Progress – down to eight outstanding that I have not heard back from about making their payment. Will be sending out the week of April 18th late notices with the $25 late fee added 

Next meeting is on May 11th
