Greetings, neighbors,
We hope this update finds you all doing well. The biggest question we've been hearing lately is: When will we be opening the clubhouses, gyms, and pool areas.
We are following the Utah Leads Together Phased Guidelines for the General Public & Businesses plan to keep the community safe and protected to the best of our ability. Under the current guidelines from Governor Herbert, Davis County is now in the "Yellow" low risk phase. This means that most businesses are able to be open and operate as long as a number of guidelines are followed. These include a number of social distancing, occupancy limit, sanitation practices, and symptom monitoring rules that must be followed in order to open our clubhouses, gyms, and pool areas.
The Foxboro North HOA board of directors has decided that our clubhouses, gyms, and pool areas will not be opened until Davis County enters the "Green" risk phase, as we are not staffed or equipped to allow implementation of the guidelines currently required (symptom monitoring including temperature screening of every user, enforcement of occupancy limits, enforcement of social distancing while using the equipment or pool, and strict sanitation of all equipment and heavy touch areas before and after each use). We appreciate your patience and understanding as the board continues to protect the interest of the community as a whole. We are in the process of preparing the pools for use, including inspection by the Davis Country Department of Health, so we will be ready to open when we enter the Green phase.
Parks and playgrounds are open, but the health department still advises observance of social distancing for their use.
We also want to inform the owners that our renovations of the Amberly Clubhouse are nearly complete, so when we are able to open, you will benefit from:
Expanded gym area (tables and chairs have been relocated for more convenient access in the front office area)
Updated children's room entrance (children's room has also had the toys removed for safety reasons. We are also adding Netflix and Disney+ subscriptions for the children's room)
New paint throughout throughout the clubhouse
Updated entrance flooring, and light fixtures in the great room
We are excited to announce that our community website, foxboronorth.com is now live! Feel free to have a look around. We welcome any feedback you might have for the website. Our intention is to use this website for communication of information to owners, and serve as a resource for the answers frequently asked questions, and common processes. There are also various forms available there, such as the "Design Review" form required any time owners want to update the exterior of the home or landscaping.
Speaking of landscaping, we'd also like to issue a reminder that while the board is understanding of the current pandemic conditions, and have tried to take a sympathetic approach to rule enforcement, we are seeing more violations of basic rules such as yard maintenance, parking of trailers and rvs, and landscaping changes without approval of the board. This is a gentle reminder that yards must be maintained regularly, with grass mowed, weeds pulled; trailers are allowed to be parked in front of your house (either in the street or your driveway) generally for the loading and unloading for a camping trip, but may not be stored there for extended time periods; and any proposed change to the exterior of your home, including, but not limited to, expanded concrete areas, sheds, gazebos, changes to fencing, paint color changes to the home, etc., must be submitted to the board for approval, and ultimately approved before proceeding with the project. Answers to any questions you might have about these and other rules can be found on our website.
Finally, we are overdue for our Annual Meeting, which was scheduled for early April. In order to have our general election we are required to have a minimum number of owners in attendance. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we cannot congregate in those numbers. We will continue to keep the owners informed as additional information unfolds, and the date of the Annual meeting will be announced. Our monthly board meetings are similarly on hold. The board has continued to run the business of the HOA via email and phone calls, but we look forward to being able to meet again and will continue to welcome your participation as members of the HOA in those meetings.
Thank you,
Foxboro North HOA Board
