This letter is confirm that on May 7, 2015 at 7:00 pm at McHenry Savings Bank located at 353 Bank
Drive, McHenry, IL, a meeting was held to obtain a new HOA board for Park Ridge Estates and to
increase the annual assessment.
The goals of the new board members are as follows:
-Front entrance landscaping: clean up, remove weeds, mulch, trim bushes and trees, plant new
perennials, and remove dead evergreen trees. Hire the services of a reliable mowing service to
maintain the front footage of the subdivision.
-Replace sign posts and paint front entrance sign.
-Enforce the covenants particularly no parking of campers, boats, snowmobiles, tractors,
construction or landscaping equipment, motor homes, trailers, jet skis, utility trailers or any
other recreation equipment in driveways or yards. Said vehicles must be kept in garage or
in an offsite storage facility. Lawn areas next to the garage or home shall not be used for
parking or storage of any type of vehicle or trailers. The board understands that a resident
may need up to 3 days to park a trailer or camper to prepare for a trip and that is fine, but more
than 3 days will require permission from the board.
-Set up a website for the HOA allowing residents to access recorded HOA documents and
provide contact information for board members and property management firm. The website
is currently being prepared, but the website address is www.parkridgeestateshoa.weebly.com.
-Hire the services of a property management company.
At the meeting, Jon Dickson from Factotum Property Management presented his firm’s services, which
the new board has hired to manage the HOA. The Board has signed a one year contract with a 45 day
trial period. Factotum will provide the following services for $10 per house per year for the HOA

32 homes voted YES to increase the fee to $45. Said fee will be reviewed annually based on
the HOA’s upcoming expenses.

The HOA has not collected dues in two years and our current bank account has $603 remaining.
The Board will act upon any requests for fences, decks, pools, or sheds as required by the City of
McHenry to receive a permit. Please contact Factotum if you should have any need to address a
violation of the covenants. Also, contact Factotum directly if you need a paid assessment letter for
closing on your property. This letter will be provided at a cost of $25.00 for the resident and will
include a copy of the covenants for the new owner.
The new board would like to thank everyone who was able to make it the meeting. We are all very
anxious to clean up the front of the subdivision entrance and make it presentable again. Our residents
deserve it!
Sincerely,
Stacy McCormick
