FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2023 21 Applications are beginning to slow for the ARC. We are seeing a few landscape applications and the tail end of solar applications. However, we expect to see an increase in applications that seem to increase with warm weather and an increase in door- to-door sales solicitations. Please research before you make any decision based on an uninvited solicitation from a home improvement salesperson. In the past, we have seen surges in security door installations, alarm installations, and security lights. Four Seasons Beaumont does not allow door-to-door solicitors to contact homeowners. However, many come into the community with an appointment to meet a specific homeowner and once they complete their appointment they stay in the community and solicit more business. ARC is aware of homeowners who have purchased items after a high-pressure sales presentation that contained many false statements designed to scare homeowners into buying their services and goods. Contrary to statements made by door-to-door sales persons, there have not been multiple rapes, car thefts, or burglaries in Four Seasons Beaumont. We are a very low-crime area within the city of Beaumont, which also has a very low crime rate. Please be aware that any person who knocks on your door without an appointment is trespassing. Do you really want to do business with a company that starts your transaction with an illegal activity? The ARC meets the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 8:30 am in the RCN Conference Room. All homeowners are welcome to attend our meetings. ~ Steve Cooley, (801) 815-5302, cooleyaudit@gmail.com Architectural Review Committee Landscape Committee Four Seasons Beaumont has different cost centers? The Front Yard Cost Center, which will be the focus of this article, is made up of 556 homes. These properties belong to the individual property owner; however, Four Seasons HOA has the right-of-way to maintain the yards. This includes mowing and blowing, tree trimming, weeding and upkeep of planters, and irrigation and repairs. This group of homes has a separate budget and is funded by the homeowners in the Front Yard Cost Center. Homeowners in the Front Yard Cost Center do have the ability to become a Greenleaf Home, which enables them to maintain the planter, however, the HOA still mows and blows and trims the trees. If you are in the Front Yard Cost Center and wish to become a Greenleaf Home, it is a very simple process and can be accomplished by contacting the management office. Spring has sprung and we are seeing lots of flowers and blooms, as well as weeds… they like the water too! Park West is working diligently to take care of the weeds in rotation. If you get a chance to walk any of the trails around Four Seasons Circle, you can see the beautiful flowers of our own little super bloom. We are also working with Park West to reseed some of the grass areas before the heat comes. Because of all the rain this past winter, our grass is green and growing quickly. Park West is gradually cutting the grass down to two inches. The Landscape Committee is always working to keep our community beautiful, and beginning the first Friday in June, we will begin walking the community every week (winter and early spring are every other week). Each walk averages an hour to an hour and a half as we look at different areas of our community. We invite anyone who would like to join us to reach out to see where we are walking. It's very informative and gives insight into how things work. We also meet the third Tuesday of each month in the RCN at 1 pm and welcome any homeowner input. ~ Kathy Craven, kathycravenbod@yahoo.com
