R
ecently several residents have inquired about enforcement of our covenants.
I thought it may be helpful for folks who have not served on the board to
review the process for identifying and addressing issues.
Message from the President
The most common covenant violations are related to general maintenance and lawn
issues. These are the most simple to identify and address. Every month our property
manager from Access Management completes a “drive through inspection”. He notes
all potential issues and sends a report to the board. Any residence that is identified as
having a potential violation is sent a letter detailing the potential issue and requesting it
to be resolved in a timely manner. Also included is a response form to provide feedback
to Access Management and the HOA Board.
If you get a letter from Access, try not to be offended, but look at the identified
problem from your neighbor’s point of view. If you feel the notice is unwarranted,
contact Access or any HOA board member to discuss the issue. We should all make an
effort to correct those things we can, such as weeds, dead trees, dead grass and paint.
Records of each potential violation are kept up to date and after three notices are sent
without a response the HOA board has the option to begin fines. Fines are a last resort
but have been needed in some cases to bring propertied into compliance.

While the HOA and DRB may
not always seem to act fast enough for some and too quickly for others it is our goal
to maintain community standards through the enforcement of our bylaws. If you have
any questions regarding specific issues, please contact myself or any other
board member.
Chartwell HOA
The next issue of Chartwell
Chatter will mail on June 12.
Please send articles and photos to
be published to Chip Floyd, xxx@

Don’t forget the necessity of submitting any major change to the exterior of your
home to the Design Review Board (DRB) for review. This includes driveways,
major landscaping alterations, removal of trees, changes to or installation of a fence,
repainting your home, etc.
Of course any construction
additions also have to be
reviewed as well. This is
for the benefit of the entire
community and is not a
difficult process to undergo to
maintain the standards of our
community. Please contact
Chad Smith with any DRB
related concerns.

Waste Management:
Neighborhood
Garage Sale:
Our Spring
garage sale will
be the first
weekend in May.
If you have not already, please make
sure to request the complementary large
wheeled recycling container from Waste
Management. This large container was
part of the Chartwell group discount
program worked out by the HOA Board.
Community Dumpster As part of our new plan with Waste
Management (WM), they will provide a
free dumpster for bulk items the week
following the garage sale. The dumpster
will be located in the clubhouse parking
lot.
We are at about 85% participation with
WM, if we can get this up to 95% we will
try to get them to give us a second free
dumpster every fall.
Car Break-Ins
Trash? or Treasure.
Please Recycle
With warmer weather there has been an
increase in the number of car break-ins
in the area. Many of these are crimes
of opportunity with the victim’s vehicle
unlocked and parked in a driveway. It is
a good idea to lock your car at all times
and not to leave garage doors open.

John’s Creek News
Postal Service OKs 30024 ZIP
for Johns Creek, GA Homes,
businesses can ‘choose to use’
mailing address
T
he United States Postal Service
recently announced that effective
April 1 it now recognizes the use
of Johns Creek, GA as a valid mailing
address within the 30024 ZIP Code.
The move allows residents and business
owners at close to 700 addresses to use
Johns Creek as their hometown address.
Those based in ZIP codes 30005, 30022
and 30097 have been able to use it for
some time now.
“The decision by the Postal Service to
recognize Johns Creek is welcome and
gratifying,” said U.S. Rep. Tom Price,
who helped the City gain the approval.
“As the community continues to grow
and thrive, it is only appropriate that
residents are able to proudly address
their homes as such. This achievement
demonstrates what can be accomplished
when members of the community,
local leaders, and federal officials work
together to meet Johns Creek’s unique
needs as a developing municipality.”
The move means that more than 99
percent of city residents and businesses
can use Johns Creek, GA for their
address. A small section in the southwest
part of the city, located in the 30076 ZIP
code, will continue to use Roswell as
their mailing address. The USPS recently
gave residents and businesses there a
choice to change to the 30022 ZIP code
and the post office that serves it. A
majority of respondents decided against
changing.
“We are pleased that almost every
residence and business location in the
city can proudly ‘choose to use’ Johns
Creek in their mailing address,” Mayor
Mike Bodker said. “It is our hope that
people will change their addresses
on bills, magazine subscriptions—
everything they receive—to Johns Creek,
GA. Similarly, we hope businesses will
proclaim Johns Creek as their shop
location on business materials, menus,
signs and so forth.”

Honey, is that lawn care company really
cheaper? Or is using the same type of soil
depleting products year after year setting
us up for a costly problem?
How to choose a lawn care company:
• Compare apples to apples: application price, number of applications, vs. yearly cost.
• Most important: what type of products are used? Organic/Natural/ or Synthetic
• Learn why using synthetic products on your lawn incorrectly can lead to soil depletion, fungus and/or disease problems.
