Courtesy Notices

The board and management recently conducted a walk through of our community. Overall the community is lovely, however some courtesy notices will be sent out. Nothing serious: put away trash cans, mow the lawn, pull some weeds and we’re done! Compliance is our responsibility and it makes Bristolwood a beautiful community. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and swift compliance with our CC&R’s! We couldn’t make this community what it is without you!
Commercial Vehicles are not permitted on La Costa Ave. It is a violation of the Eastlake Greens Covenants , Code and Restrictions. Owners of commercial vehicles will need to park them inside a garage or off street. Unfortunately, fines may be applied (by Bristolwood HOA and Eastlake Greens HOA) when the CC&R is violated.
Please help us to maintain compliance. We appreciate your community spirit.

HOA Financial Picture in a Nutshell

In October of 2007 the association’s finances were pretty grim. In under four years we have stabilized the finances and put into action checks and balances to maintain the progress. AND Bristolwood still has the lowest assessment cost in Eastlake Greens. A healthy financial state makes the association look good to banks when homeowners want to sell – it also contributes to the stability of our home values. Stable home value is very important in this economy. How did we do it? Reasonable and professional property management, economical and environmentally friendly landscaping and maintenance, board education, proper budget planning and regular reserve study. The members of this board care about the neighborhood. They stretch our assessment and make it work for all of us. Join us at a meeting or think about becoming a board member.
October 31, 2007, our total assets were $53,887.15
January 31, 2011 our total assets are $104,164.44

Street Parking issues

There have been some challenging parking issues this year. Don’t get us wrong – our street is a piece of cake compared to others in the Greens but Bristolwood does have parking regulations and we are also subject to the CC&R’s of Eastlake Greens. Let’s work together to resolve these issues. Each home is entitled to one parking spot on the street in front of their home. Those with red curbs in front of their homes have preference at the island parking. Please don’t park the wrong way on the street, block a driveway or park several of your vehicles on the street. It’s not the board’s to make people miserable about parking but we are obligated to control the parking should the rules be violated.
Speeding on residential roads is dangerous for pedestrians and other drivers. Slow down on La Costa Ave. Speeders will be sent violation letters and possible fines will be levied.
Keep our street safe for our families. Thanks for helping us to make this work.

Neighborhood Maintenance

The board has approved the purchase of new mailboxes for Bristolwood. The new mailboxes are the same size and shape. The color will be bronze. We will keep you posted about the installation of the new mailboxes. Management is working with the local post office to ensure the least interruption of service to you. We also found an affordable, appropriate matching bulletin board to install near the mailboxes and they will be the same color. Both of these projects came in under budget.
Our curb house numbers will be painted soon. The board has looked into finding a landscaper who can offer front yard mowing services to homeowners at a discounted price. The bill for services would come to you with your assessment bill. Look for a questionnaire in the mail about this service.
