CCHOA MAY 2015 NEWSLETTER
Warmer weather has arrived and residents are cutting the grass and planting flowers. We are replacing
the filter, sharpening blades and changing the spark plugs on the lawn mower, weed whacker and
trimmers. It’s time to remember to be good neighbors and keep Charleston Crossing a secure, safe
and wonderful place to live and raise a family.
Did you know: On our website www.charlestoncrossing.org the Code of By-Laws, Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Amendments of Charleston Crossing are readily available for
reading or printing out for reference.
The main purpose of the homeowner’s association is to help maintain the property values in the
Charleston Crossing Development. The current annual association dues of $275.00 paid by (140)
homeowners and landlords help maintain 3 ponds, 2 fountains, playground area, five acres of
common area, trees, landscapes, irrigation, attorney fees, management company, tax filing, postage
and vendors.

Please do your part as a homeowner or renter to keep the lawns and landscape attractive for visitors
and neighbors alike. There were over 10 homes sold in Charleston Crossing in 2014 and realtors are
contacting homeowners to see if they are interested in selling. Buyers are out there and driving through
Charleston Crossing daily.
1 In no event shall the grass on any lot exceed the height of seven inches (7”) or the set height under
local ordinance, whichever is less. The Association, Board, or any of its designated agents, will have the
right to enter onto a lot to perform any maintenance, mowing, repair or other acts as may be
1
reasonably necessary to make the lot and any improvements on the lot meet the requirements of the
Declaration or rules.
Any expenses incurred by the Association under this provision will be treated as a special assessment
against the lot and lot Owner in question and collectable as provided for any assessment under the
terms of the covenants or the Bylaws. In other words, the lot owner will be billed should the CCHOA
have to hire someone to perform the maintenance.
In addition, no owner may permit any noxious, invasive, or illegal weeds, underbrush, or other
unsightly growths to grow or remain on their lot.
2 Trash containers may be set at the curb beginning at 5:00 PM the day before collection and
removed no later than 10:00PM the same day as trash collection occurs. Owners or residents cannot
store trash containers beside the garage, the driveway, the front porch, or any other area where the
waste container or bag is visible from the street. This also means in front of your vehicle parked in
the driveway. No one wants to look at your trash.
3 Overnight street parking of any vehicles in Charleston Crossing by owners and or residents is strictly
prohibited. Any vehicle parked on the street between the hours of 1:00am and 7:00am “MAY BE
TOWED”. This has become a big problem especially on Charleston Pkwy and parts of Jamestown.
The streets in Charleston Crossing are narrower than normal. Remember this development was started
in May of 1988 by The C. P. Morgan Co. Hamilton Southeastern School buses, Fishers Fire and Police
trucks and vehicles as well as Waste Management vehicles run regular routes in Charleston Crossing
daily.
Please be aware of where and when you park during the day and overnight. Vehicles may not be
parked on any sidewalk or on any Lot or street in a manner that would block or interfere with the use
of any sidewalk, access and /or use of any mailbox, or would block or restrict vehicular traffic on any
street in the Development, including, but not limited to, school buses and emergency equipment.
Do not park in the street blocking any car from backing out of their driveway. Be mindful of where you
park day or night. Backing out of a driveway blocked by a car directly parked across from your
driveway could result in a small child being injured or seriously hurt.
Thank you for being a valuable resident of Charleston Crossing.
