More detailed information on Page 3 HOA News & Information PROPERTY MANAGEMENT UPDATES It has been an exciting year of landscaping projects. The Board has approved a number of them in order to maintain the beauty of our common areas. As an aging community, there are many areas to address and the Board has been diligent in their efforts. Here's an update on what we've had going on the past few weeks: Landscape – The landscape work is continuing throughout Legacy Park. Most of the circle work has been done. The irrigation between the Amphitheater and the Highcroft entrance has been completed. Sod will be added to that area next week. We are still working on the planned areas for new sod, once that is completed, some other areas on the circle need attention. Mulch has been added to the tennis area and a pine straw installation is scheduled for the circle entrances. The gravel maintenance work on the trails will begin in the next two weeks. Please use caution while the crews are working in these areas. Painting Projects – We will begin working on getting the guardrails, light poles and white curbs on the Circle painted, as well as the wooden fence at Bellingrath. The streetlights in the community are scheduled to be painted by Georgia Power this summer. The Pool House, Tennis Pavillion, Bell Tower and sign boards have all been painted. Tennis Courts – Look for new Pickelball lines and nets on four courts. Clubhouse – We are working on getting the exterior of the clubhouse painted and the interior furnishings revamped. Playgrounds – Monthly inspections on the playgrounds continue. We have continued with new mulch and will do so until all the sites have been refreshed. 2 HOA News & Information POOL - REMINDERS LANDSCAPING TIPS FOR AUGUST The Legacy Park swimming pools will remain staffed with guards BY HUTCHESON HORTICULTURAL on Saturdays and Sundays only through Labor Day.

A Note From Covenants... Over the summer, we’ve had many new residents decide to make our amazing neighborhood their new home. This seems like the perfect opportunity to give a little covenants refresher. Whether you’ve been here since 1995 or joined us this week, you might not know or remember some of these. First, lets talk trash cans…trash cans go out on Sunday night and need to come in on Monday evening. Trash cans need to be stored either in (not in front of) the garage or side of the house... least visible from the street. Next, yards should be mowed every 7-9 days, sometimes more when it’s really rainy. Bag those clippings and leave them out on Sunday night with the trash. Along with mowing regularly, landscape beds need to be weeded regularly as well. Unfortunately, the deer only help with eating the flowers, yet mostly leave the weeds alone, but it seems they like the ones in the flower pots the best. If your pots become empty, please either fill them or remove them from your front porch. One last thing about landscaping…if you plan to change anything, give us a ring in the office. We can point you to the Modification Form on the website and help walk you through to make sure you have everything that the ARC would need to review your request. Please remember ALL MODIFICATIONS to the exterior of your home and property must be approved by the ARC before work begins, including the back yard. Have plans to install a fence or remove a tree? If so, a permit from the City of Kennesaw is required and must be submitted before tree work begins. Please also notify the office by submitting a modification form. The best advice that any homeowner here should keep in the back of their mind is to take a walk around your house once every few months. Look at the mailbox, landscape beds, the yard, siding, and trim objectively to see if there are any areas that need a good cleaning or replacement. It’s much easier (and sometimes cheaper) to fix issues while they’re small instead of ignoring them until they’re large…or pointed out by someone else. If you ever have questions, please call the office. We love talking to our neighbors!
