April 19, 2024: Dear Homeowners,
We are thrilled to announce an exciting upgrade to our community's mailboxes that will bring added
value to each home. After careful consideration and planning, we have selected a style of the new
individual mailboxes for every household, with a portion of the cost covered by the Homeowners
Association (HOA).
Here are the key details of this initiative:
Mailbox Research: A committee of homeowners did a search of available mailbox companies
in our area and selected a reputable company in Tampa, Creative Mailbox Designs, who have
been in business for over 25 years.
HOA Assistance: To help offset the cost of this improvement, the HOA will cover a portion of
the expenses associated with the installation of the new mailboxes. This investment
demonstrates our commitment to enhancing the aesthetics of our community.
Assessment: As part of this project, there will be a one-time assessment to cover the
remaining cost of the new mailboxes. The assessment amount will be determined based on the
total cost of the project and the number of households in the community. Detailed information
regarding the assessment, including payment options and timelines, will be provided in a
separate communication.
Poll: We are in the process of adding a poll to the Community’s Website to give each household
an opportunity to vote on the color of mailbox for our community.
Timeline and Process: At the next board meeting in May, we will discuss the results of the poll
and discuss the assessment and finalized costs. Rest assured, we will keep you informed every
step of the way and ensure minimal disruption during the selection and installation process.
We believe that replacing the existing mailboxes will alleviate maintenance costs and replacement
costs over time. Additionally, by sharing the cost with the HOA, we can ensure that this upgrade is
accessible to all homeowners.
We value your feedback and input throughout this process. If you have any questions, concerns, or
suggestions regarding the new mailbox initiative, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to enhance our community for the benefit of all residents.
