Note: Diane will be discussing this issue at our Unit 11 Activities Planning Meeting on Thursday, Feb 11 in the Javelina Room.
Dear Unit 11 Residents,
During the last Unit Rep's meeting there was a discussion about the new ALC paint color rules. The color requirements recommended by the ALC, and approved by the Board of Directors, list a palette of colors you must choose from if you wish to paint your home a new color, but prevent you from repainting your home with your current color. There are some unit reps who have received complaints from their unit residents regarding this new requirement. It was decided that the Unit Reps request input from their neighbors about the new rule to make sure they understand the magnitude of the change and to get feedback as to whether it is what residents really want or not.
In fairness, the BOD did their due diligence by offering this topic for discussion and posting the colors with opportunities to respond before making the decision recommended by the ALC. This was discussed for several months. Very few residents responded.
The rule, as it stands now, states that if you wish to repaint your house or house trim you must select one of the colors recently approved by the ALC (and BOD). You may not repaint your house the same as its current color unless it happens to coincide with one of the currently approved colors. There appears to be no "grandfathering". (There are color samples available in the Administration Office and 1 foot square painted samples on the back of the Gift Shop, near the Arts and Crafts Bldg.)
This will be an agenda item for the Unit Reps March meeting and I would like your input. Please consider this issue and send me an email or call me with your thoughts and preferences.
I can only represent you if I know what you want.
Diane Rhoades
Unit 11 Rep
