The Lakes of Valrico
Matt Rego, president of Willows Unit #3 HOA, sent a message to residents explaining that the HOA let go of the neighborhoods management company last year to make funds more available to serve the community, with board members filling the gap. The board is now taking bids for a new beautification plan for the two front entrances.
This April, a committee formed by the HOA will be performing drive- through inspections throughout the community for bylaw violations. Homeowners will be notified of concerns and are asked to review the bylaws before planning improvements to homes, as all exterior alterations and improvements must be approved by the board. A full listing of bylaws and approval forms can be found at: www.lakes ofvalrico.org.
Board meetings are held bi-monthly at 6:30 p.m. with the location being announced on the Website. The tentative meeting schedule for the rest of the year is: Wednesday, May 14, July 16, September 17 and October 22 (budget meeting).

Copper Ridge
In Copper Ridge, there is one lake and two drainage areas. Standing water can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can lead to swarms often prompting calls to the county. Insect repellent is always a must during summer evenings, and if residents host outside gatherings in the evening, picking up a few citronella candles can keep the insects at bay. As for the drains, keep them clear of grass, weeds and trash so that water can drain properly.
Copper Ridge would again like to remind its residents in the community about the rule of storing new trash cans out of sight. They must be kept out of sight behind bushes, lattice, fence, water softeners or anywhere residents can find. The HOA sent out letters by mail last month after about two months of notifications.
Copper Ridge HOA urges residents to park in the street only in the direction traffic flows, not in the grass, and to please be courteous to residents who need to back out of driveways, always watching for children. Parking on grass at bus stops is not allowed either. For more information visit copperridgehoa.com or e-mail Board@CopperRidgeHOA.com.
