February 20132

In consideration of

February being the

month of our Annual

Meeting, I wanted to

share the article

below. I’m

confident you’ll recognize Carriage Manor

while reading these principles.

Community Associations Institute

(CAI), a national membership organization

that represents the best interests of

common-interest communities like

Carriage Manor, developed 10 basic

principles that answer three essential

questions: What is the basic function of a

community association? What are the

essential obligations and expectations of

homeowners? What are the core principles

that should guide association leaders?

1. Associations ensure that the collective

rights and interests of homeowners are

respected and preserved.

2. Associations are the most local form

of representative democracy, with leaders

elected by their neighbors to govern in the

best interest of all residents.

3. Associations provide services and

amenities to residents, protect property

values and meet the established

expectations of homeowners.

4. Associations succeed when they

cultivate a true sense of community, active

homeowner involvement and a culture of

building consensus.

5. Association homeowners have the

right to elect their community leaders and

to use the democratic process to determine

the policies that will protect their

investments.

6. Association homeowners choose

where to live and accept a contractual

responsibility to abide by established

policies and meet their financial

obligations to the association.

7. Association leaders protect the

community’s financial health by using

established management practices and

sound business principles.

8. Association leaders have a legal and

ethical obligation to adhere to the

association’s governing documents and

abide by all applicable laws.

9. Association leaders seek an effective

balance between the preferences of

individual residents and the collective

rights of homeowners.

10. Association leaders and residents

should be reasonable, flexible and open to

the possibility—and benefits—of

compromise.

Manager's Message

First let me welcome

the two newcomers to

your Board of

Directors, Tina Ross

and Bob Eddy. I guess

I’m being a little

presumptuous about the

elections since the results won’t be released

until our Annual Meeting. But since there were

4 available positions open and just 4 candidates

I’ll take the chance. Also soon to be elected are

Mike Sisk and Carl Vinci, incumbents from the

past two years. It looks to me like we will

continue with a strong board that will get along

great and work extremely well again with our

management team. If we have gained two new

comers it means we have to say goodby and

thank you to two current board members. That

would be Ed Martin and David Folkes-Jones.

It’s been a real pleasure to serve with these two

men. Ed could be described as the conscience

of the board, he never forgets anything. David

has been a real blessing to us in a time when we

needed a strong presence in reviewing our

financial records and concerns this past year. To

both of these men we give a large thank you for

their contributions to this Board.

The Resort is almost full of residents and

renters right now and events are being well

attended. Now that Channel 18 is no longer in

our living rooms each day it’s important for

you to be sure to review the many posters

around the park and attend Wednesday

Morning Coffee to learn what is coming up the

following weeks. Clubs and organizations

depend on each of us to support their activities

and contribute to their budgets to keep going,

plus, they provide some great entertainment

and dinners.

Our Real Estate office has been very busy

this year. Because of this you may have a new

neighbor. I hope you have introduced yourself

to that neighbor if you didn’t know them

already. Not only is it a friendly thing to do it’s

also a way of looking out for each other. We

really do need each other.

Although I may know, or assume who is

being elected to the Board, I don’t know the

outcome of the 4 ballot measures. Whatever the

outcome your Board will accept your decision

and work with those results to continue to make

this the best possible resort park it can be.

Finally, I would like to wrap up the “contest”

of suggesting a line to accompany “Carriage

manor is------“. There is a box in the activity

office to put your suggestions in.. Here’s one..”.

Carriage Manor is a Privately Owned

Residential Community that Welcomes R.V.’s”

What’s your idea??

Next Month is also a busy one that includes

Carriage Manor Day. Las Vegas is the theme.

Get your thinking hats on and let’s really have a

great parade.

I hope you will participate in the selection of

our parade Grand Marshal. Nomination forms

will be available in the Activity Office shortly.

That’s enough for me for now. Gail and I, as

always, wish each of you enough.

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEWCOMMITTEE

The Architectural Review Committee has been busy this season with the

addition of Manufactured Homes to our Resort. If you are thinking of

purchasing a New Manufactured Home or even a new Park Model it is very

important that you contact the office or a member of the committee to

obtain the necessary forms to bring a unit into Carriage Manor. We require

a great deal of information before we will issue a permit. A permit from

Carriage Manor is required by the State of AZ and the city of Mesa before

they will issue you a permit.

The Committee has found that the applications and information provided

to us to obtain a permit has been incomplete and in some cases wrong. This

has cause us some problems thus we will be requesting more complete

information than in the past and we are requiring you the owner and your

contractor or dealer to meet with us prior to issuing the permit and when the

Home is delivered the owner and the dealer must be present to address any

questions that may arise during the setting of the structure.

Also, we wish to remind all owners that a permit is required on all and

any exterior changes or improvements ie

(construction, landscaping satellite dishes, antennas)

There has been some owners that have failed to obtain a permit which

concerns us should there be a safety issue or a violation to our design

guidelines. The goal of the ARC is to insure development of a consistently

high quality environment which protects the safety and enhances the

investment of all the Resort. We are hear to help so please help us and

remember to get a permit. Carriage Manor keeps a file on each lot should

you require any information about what and when something may have

been done to your property .

Completed permits haven’t always been returned when a project is done.

Please help us out by returning the green permit copy to the office. Thank

you.
