The Clarion FOUR COLONIES HOMES ASSOCIATION A WELCOMING COMMUNITY WITH PRIDE IN OUR PROPERTY SPECIAL POINTS OF INTEREST Yard Waste Pick Up - 3 Paint Schedule—Page 5 & 6 Book Club Page - 7 INSIDE THIS ISSUE President’s Message BOD Minutes Financials Calendar Advertisements V O L U M E 4 , I S S U E 5 MAY 2015 President’s Message May 2015 Since the Annual meeting was just last night, and my deadline for the Clarion was last Thursday, this will be a short President’s Message. I want to first thank all of you who took the time to come to the annual meeting, and all of you who couldn’t come but voted by proxy. Our community of Four Colonies will only be as good as the “Good” we put into it. I also want to thank those who have retired from the board: past president Dawn Harmon and Sara Funk. Both made tremendous contributions during the short time they served. A special thank you from all of us goes to Jim Shields who, with his wife, have lived in Four Colonies for 38 years. During those years, Jim held every board office, plus served on numerous committees, numerous times. Thank you, Jim! While there will always be challenges, our Community has made great strides in the past few years in paying off the roof loan and planning ahead for what is best for Four Colonies. Never will we agree on every decision, or every issue. Valuing and examining differing opinions is how we improve. The key to making Four Colonies better will be our ability to disagree without being disagreeable. I look forward to serving as your president in the coming year. Daryl Roller, President ———————————————————————————————————— 2015-2016 Four Colonies Board of Directors & Officers Board of Directors & Officers elected at the annual meeting are as follows: New board members elected: Ada Niedenthal Dottie Pope Barb Schauperl.

We appreciate your business and look forward to a great year. All items must be packaged in paper lawn waste bags or tied into 18’ x 36” bundles. Route Service begins at 7:00 a.m. Please make sure all items are easily accessible from the street. We only pickup natural yard waste including grass, leaves, tree limbs, flower or garden plants (without their pots), walnuts, apples, Christmas trees (6’ or less), etc. All materials collected are taken to a licensed compost facility. This recycling facility does not allow for ANY trash, landscape, or construction materials. If bags contain trash or foreign material they will have to be left at the curb. Any plastic inside your bag will be considered trash and not picked up. We do NOT collect animal waste. Please tie brush securely with rope or twine – not wire. Mark bundles of thorns for the driver’s safety. Christmas Trees are the only items that do not require bagging or bundling. We will accept Christmas trees up to 6’ in length, if larger please cut in half. Maximum item weight is 50 pounds. Do not use plastic tape on paper bags since it is not biodegradable. Small cardboard boxes may be used provided they are no larger than the size and weight limits. We suggest boxes for fruits, small brush, wood or items that would easily break a bag during removal. We ask you to not use cans for your waste. Thank you for your business and compliance with our guidelines If you have any questions please contact Compost Connection at 816-761-8300 or Email orders@compostconnection.com 4 Homeowner’s Corner – May 2015 Question: Could you remind people to secure trash so it does not blow around? Homeowner Answer: When trash pickup day is blustery, we have trash that takes to the wind. Please make sure all trash is secure within the containers. Question: Can I use the pool card I had last year this year? Homeowner Answer: Yes, your pool card is good each year as long as the address related to the card is in good standing (dues paid up and no liens on property). New homeowners can purchase a pool card from the office for $10 after filling out the pool card form and showing proof of residency. Pools open Saturday, May 23rd. Question: I see some dog walkers are not picking up the poop. What to do? Homeowner Answer: Call the City of Lenexa Animal Control Office, 913-477-7385, and lodge a complaint giving as much information as possible (date, time, person’s name, type of animal, location, photo, etc.) so the City can issue a citation to the dog owner. After three citations the dog owner is fined. The City requires the person witnessing the event to report the event; it cannot be reported through the Four Colonies office. Another thought – confront the offender and ask if they would please pick up the dog poop as required by the City. Perhaps if enough residents do this, offenders may be nudged into complying. Question: Is there a policy on displaying real estate signs? Homeowner Answer: One real estate sign can be displayed from the inside of a window. In the case of Garden Villas where windows are not visible from the street, one sign may be attached to the fence. Directional signs may only be displayed when there is an open house. Any signs that do not meet this policy are removed by staff and taken to the office. Question: What are the colored lines/marks and flags for? Homeowner Answer: Locators have been mapping utilities lines and right-of ways as new cable lines are being installed. Have a question for Homeowner’s Corner? We will try to give you an answer. 5 2015 Paint Schedule Contractor - R. H.
