From The HOA President
Submitted by Bill Seiler, President, The Villas Of Asbury HOA
1. Activities Completed in October: Sprinkler system was shut down for the winter. The City of Olathe repaired the screening on the retention pond overflow outlet into the City storm water system.Signs approved and posted on trial entrances prohibiting use of electric bikes and scooters.
Major work on challenging 2026 budget/dues, annual meeting notice to be mailed in early November.
2. November Upcoming Work: Fall pruning and cleanup of west tree line the week of Nov 17. Notice & pruning tape to be provided a week prior. Board approved contract with new gutter cleaning company, Just Another Project, Belton MO. Depending on the status of leaves dropping, hopefully gutter cleaning to be done late November or by mid-December latest.
Using a credit from Suburban, two trees to be planted on 159th berm to fill in where pines were lost.
Flag lighting which has been a little erratic being worked on by Metro Electric.
3. Holiday Decorations: My annual reminder on behalf of the ARC Committee. The Unit Exterior Policy states as follows: “Holiday decorations…not exceeding 24 inches may be hung on the front door (including storm door) or a light fixture or attached to the trim. Holiday decorations may also be placed on the porch or patio.” Trim means wood like the front posts, but not stucco, brick, or wooden siding.
The policy continues with reminders that exterior winter holiday lights are permitted only between November 15 and January 31 and shall be attached to the trim of the Unit with non-damaging fasteners such suction cup hooks or command strips to avoid damaging the paint jobs (now done on most of the buildings) or in mulched areas like on the foundation bushes/shrubs. That means NOT IN THE COMMON AREAS.
Seasonal artificial flowers may be used during the season on the porch or patio of the Unit but not in the exterior mulch area. Holiday lighting is not allowed on the gutters of the unit. As noted above, gutter cleaning will be done during this period and final winter cleanup by Signature in the common area also normally occurs in late November or December.
4. Mark Your Calendars: November Board Meeting on Thursday, November 20 at 6:30 pm at the clubhouse. Topics include the HOA Board Approval of the 2026 Budget.
Annual HOA Meeting on Wednesday, December 3 at 6:30 pm. Election of two Board Members. Both open to input and comments from members. Board candidates for two positions welcomed for election.
