| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | MARCH 2022 | 7 We were very busy this past year. This continues to be a very positive sign showing homeowner interest in maintaining and improving homes within the Four Seasons community. We welcome our new community members and remind everyone that ANY change to the exterior of our homes is subject to ARC review and approval. Here are the stats. for the past 12 months: # of applications: 322 (356 in 2020). # of approvals upon first review: 261 # of denials upon first review: 38 # of continued or tabled upon first review, but approved upon receipt of more info: 23 You might be interested in knowing what type of applications were submitted and reviewed: • Painting – 78 • Landscaping – 59 • Artificial Turf – 33 • Solar Panels – 47 • Patio Covers – 19 • Other Items – 86 Why aren't all applications approved? There are a number of reasons, but the following are typical reasons for denial: • The application does not conform with the standards and regulations contained within the Board Approved Architectural Standards and Regulations • The application is incomplete • The application proposed improvements inconsistent with the aesthetics of our Four Seasons community The ARC meets twice monthly, on the first and third Mondays of the month at 8:30 am in the Lodge Board Room (and via Zoom and phone when appropriate). In 24 meetings during the past year, our average agenda included an average of 14 to 15 applications per meeting. With a conservative estimate of at least $1,000 of improvement per application, our community has invested $322,000 dollars in our homes in the past year, and likely, this amount could be considerably higher. We thank all residents and homeowners for their interest and involvement in their homes and in our community. We look forward to a productive 2022. Please remember, residents are welcome to attend our meetings. Architectural Review Committee Now is a good time to prepare for the unexpected. Build A Kit: After an emergency, you may need to survive on your own for several days. Being prepared means having your own food, water and other supplies to last for several days. A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency. Basic Disaster Supplies Kit: To assemble your kit, store items in airtight plastic bags and put your entire disaster supplies kit in one or two easy-to-carry containers such as plastic bins or a duffel bag. A basic emergency supply kit could include the following recommended items: • Water (one gallon per person per day for several days, for drinking and sanitation) • Food (at least a three-day supply of non- perishable food) • Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert • Flashlight • First aid kit • Extra batteries • Whistle (to signal for help) • Dust mask (to help filter contaminated air) • Plastic sheeting and duct tape (to shelter in place) • Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties (for personal sanitation) • Wrench or pliers (to turn off utilities) • Manual can opener (for food) • Local maps • Cell phone with chargers and a backup batteries Our Mission: The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program is designed to increase individual and community preparedness and self-reliance in the event of man-made or natural disasters.
