Turf Renovation and New Soccer Goal at Charter Field
This month Charter Field will be undergoing turf renovation. Once completed, the
Board has approved the purchase and installation of one regulation size soccer goal
there. The renovation will include the utilization of a Harley rake and hand grading to
level the depressions and divots in the field to obtain a level playing field. Then grass
seed, fertilizer and a mushroom compost will be installed.
The field will be closed for approximately
four (4) weeks while the new seed germinates.
Once complete, the new soccer goal will be
installed. The Board hopes that the improvements
will create an attractive amenity that residents of
all ages will enjoy using.
In the meantime, please stay off the field until the
new seed has fully germinated and the fencing
comes down.

PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PET
We have had numerous complaints at the Clubhouse that residents are not cleaning up after their animals. When out walking your dogs, please be sure to keep them off homeowner’s property. Further, please be sure to properly clean up and discard all dog waste. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping our community clean and being respectful of your neighbors.
“Covenants Corner”
Welcome to our new column …...“Covenants Corner”.
Each month we will review an ACC guideline or covenant as a friendly reminder.
This month’s topic is HOLIDAY DECORATIONS.
Driving through the neighborhood it appears that a number of
homes still are displaying some holiday lights.
Guidelines state: Holiday and festival decorations do not require approval;
however, the replacement of conspicuous decorative objects shall coincide with the
holiday and must be removed within 30 days after the holiday.
Please remember to take down your holiday lights as soon as possible.
Don’t worry…..you can put them back up in 8 months!
Thank you for your cooperation.

Procedures for Reserving a Tennis Court
The Kings Charter Tennis Committee has created a Google Calendar to help residents reserve a tennis court and to know what tennis activities are going on in Kings Charter. Now you will have a centralized place to see when all USTA home matches are being played so you can come up and cheer your friends and neighbors on to victory! You will also be able to check out when the next Tennis Social is scheduled and when the Youth League matches are being played. You will also be able to tell if courts are available! The new Tennis calendar can be found on the Kings Charter Members’ website under Calendars on the navigation menu, or you can go directly to it by going to http://KingsCharter.net/TennisCalendar! Here are a few reminders relating to reserving tennis courts:
* Residents can reserve only one court for a given time period and for a maximum of 90 minutes. * Residents cannot reserve a court for another individual (except for an immediate family member). If the court is not reserved for an immediate family member the resident must be a participant on the court at the time reserved. * Residents can only have two (2) future reservations on the calendar at any given time.
Until the clubhouse staff has been trained to reserve courts, send an email to [email protected] and include the following:
Your name Street Address Phone Number Court number you want to reserve Courts 1-3 (By Pavilion), Court 4 (Single court behind Clubhouse) Date and time you want to reserve the court
We will reserve the court for you!

ACC Applications And Signatures
Please remember that all ACC applications must obtain approval
from the committee. When one of your neighbors asks you to sign their
Architectural Control Committee application, they are only notifying
you of their intent to make changes. It is up to the ACC to determine if
the resident has enough information to proceed with their project.
The last day of the month is the last day to submit Architectural
Control Committee applications. The committee meets on the second
Tuesday of the following month to review submitted applications. If
you are applying for a change, all affected residents surrounding your
property must sign the application. If you plan on removing trees, you
must also apply.
If you are building an addition to your home or adding a shed, deck,
play set, paver patio or walk way, fence or landscaping, it would be best
if you attend the meeting, in the event the committee has any questions.
Please call the Clubhouse, 550-2507 if you have any questions.

Therefore, to help those small local businesses, let us remember to
patronize their businesses. They often provide discounts for KC residents
so keep your eyes open for specials and coupons in the newsletter and
show your appreciation by using them! Most of the ads in the Newsletter
contain a hyperlink to the merchant’s website where they may offer
coupons and other specials. Just click on the ad or hyperlink (usually

(FAQs)
Selling your home? Don’t forget to order a Disclosure Package
Homeowners sometimes ask if it is necessary to provide the purchaser with a
disclosure package when selling their home. The
answer is YES! State law requires it. By law, the
disclosure package gives the purchaser a copy of all
governing documents, policies, financial informa-
tion, insurance coverage for the association, etc. In
addition, it provides the purchaser with information
specific to the home they are purchasing, such as
the current assessment balance and any outstanding covenant violations at the
home. If you need to order a disclosure package you can do so by logging onto
www.communitygroup.com. Select “order resale documents” from the
selection options at the top of the page.
Mailbox Replacement

If you need to replace your mailbox, please call Doug Goodman, 690-2597.
He will install the Association approved mailbox. New mailbox numbers and
pineapples can be purchased from Can Do Specialty Printing, (804-798-8960),
