We hope everyone is keeping safe this month.

If you are new to the community of Twin Mill Farms, Welcome!

Below is important information and updates regarding your community & HOA

COVID-19 and Twin Mill Farms Management Team

We wanted to address the recent concerns about the transmission of Coronavirus (COVID-19)

and its effect it may have on our operations. The safety of our residents, tenants, and employees

are of paramount importance in a time like this. We are currently working from our homes for

safety reasons, but we are still conducting routine community inspections. Until Further notice,

all upcoming events have been cancelled.

Pool Updates:

The pool is scheduled to open on May 1st, 2020 however, this will change with CDC’s

restrictions regarding COVID-19. We will make sure to keep you up to date on when the pool

can safely open to our residents. Daily cleaning of the pool area began on April 1st, 2020. We are

focused on making sure all repairs are complete as well as ensuring the water quality is pristine

by the time the pool is allowed to be opened.

Reminders:

• Every household gets their first 2 pool cards free of charge, each additional card is

$25.00. Restroom keys are free of charge. If you are in need of a new card and or

restroom key please let me know.

• Pool Rules and Pool Party Reservation Forms (for 2020 Season) can both be found on the

HOA’s Website

• Pool cards have been made but they are taking a bit longer due to shipping issues

with the current pandemic. If you did not receive a pool card in your welcome

packet or need a replacement, they will be available soon.

Landscape Update:

Summer flower selections will be decided by our landscape committee and installed accordingly.

Certain black spots and missing grass around community was brought to attention of the

community manager. A meeting with our landscape provider has been scheduled to discuss, and

propose a solution.

Violations / Deed Restrictions:

It is always great to see kids playing basketball outside, but when the goal is not in use,

remember that we have certain guidelines on how the basketball goal can be stored/placed. Here

is an excerpt from our Deed Restrictions: Per section 9.18 of the Twin Mill Deed Restrictions,

Basketball Goals, backboards, and nets shall only be permitted if the Committee approves them

in writing with reference to their location and material. Professionally constructed portable

basketball goals such as those obtained from an athletic sporting goods retailer are acceptable.

The basketball goals may be placed between the garage and the midway point of the driveway.

At no time shall the goal be placed in any street right of way or cul-de-sac or in such a way as to

endanger those persons utilizing the goal.

Trash Cans:

We have begun sending out Friendly Reminders about the correct placement of city trash

containers. This topic was discussed at length by our local code compliance officer at the last

HOA meeting. Please remember to store your trash cans out of sight. On the side of your house

is a perfect spot. They cannot be stored in your driveway facing the street.

Garbage container reminder: City of Fort Worth Ordinance Trash & Debris Citations

average $560.00 up to $2000.00

Home Improvement & Approval Request Forms

Spring time is upon us and this is the time to start doing projects around the house. Remember to

use approval request forms on the community website before undertaking projects like adding a

pool, building a shed, or altering your fence. This is a free service to our residents and will save

you time and trouble by making sure the changes to the property abide by the deed restrictions. If

you have any questions regarding changes to your property, feel free to ask at any time.

Approval Request forms are located at http://www.twinmillfarmshoa.com/documents/ and can be

sent to Courtney Compton at Ccompton@tiholdings.com.

Lawns:

As we are all in crazy times with new health and safety precautions as well as all of the rain we

have gotten lately, we did not write up violations on this week’s inspection. We do understand

that normal day to day life isn’t going on these days. However, please try and keep your lawns

mowed. We will be resuming normal violation right ups on next inspection. We are in hopes that

this will allow time for you guys to get a little more used to our new day to day life.

We do still offer our HOA lawn assistance program for those who may need it. Please contact us

for further information.

We very much appreciate everyone’s effort in keeping the community beautiful during these

trying times!

Please see below restrictions

9.15 Landscaping. Each residence shall be landscaped on the front and side yards within one

hundred twenty (120) days after the date on which the carpet has been installed in the

residence. The landscaping of each Lot shall be principally grass sod or a landscaping theme

as approved by the Committee. The Owner shall keep the yard sufficiently watered to insure

adequate growth of the grass.

9.11 Garbage; Weeds. No Lot shall be used or maintained as a dumping ground for rubbish,

trash or garbage. All garbage shall be kept in city-approved containers. All garbage containers

shall be placed on the street in front of their dwelling on the day of collection and shall otherwise

be in compliance with applicable ordinances of the City of Fort Worth.

If after ten (10) days of written notice, an Owner in the Declarant and/or the Committee’s

opinion shall fail to: (i) control weeds, grass and/or other unsightly growth; or (ii) remove trash,

rubble, building and construction debris; or (iii) exercise reasonable care or conduct to prevent

or remedy an unclean, untidy or unsightly condition, then Declarant or the Board shall have the

authority and right to go onto said Lot for the purpose of mowing and cleaning said Lot and shall

have the authority and right to assess and collect from the Owner of such Lot a reasonable sum

not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for mowing or cleaning said Lot on each respective

occasion of such mowing or cleaning. The assessments, together with interest (at the highest

permitted lawful rate per annum) thereon and any costs of collection thereof, shall be a charge on

the Lot and shall be a continuing lien upon the Lot against which such assessment is made. Each

such assessment, together with interest thereon and costs of collection thereof, shall also be the

continuing personal obligation of the Owner of such Lot at the time when the assessment occurred.

The lien securing any such assessment shall be subordinate and inferior to the lien of any mortgage

and any renewals or extensions thereof existing prior to the assessment date.

If you have any questions on the above, please let us know. Your cooperation in keeping your yard

up and abiding by the rules is not only greatly appreciated by all, but you also save yourself a

potential fine/lien, your yard will look great and will help the community as a whole look great.

Win-Win!

HOA Dues:

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the late fee grace period will be extended until May 1st, 2020.

Our goal is to make sure all residents who have not paid HOA Dues understand that late fees will

apply after May 1st, 2020. You are able to request a payment plan for your annual dues, which

will split the total of $480 into 3 easy monthly payments. There is a one-time payment plan fee

of $20 which will be added into your total. This must also be done by May 1st, 2020. After May

1st, 2020 a late fee of $25 per month will be added to your total. Lien warnings will be sent out

in June 2020, and Liens will be filed at the beginning of July 2020. It is our goal to have all

residents either paid in full by May 1st, or to have a payment plan scheduled so we can help

everyone avoid late fees all together. The easiest way to pay dues is still through your resident

portal system PAYHOA, but you can also mail in your payment or use the PayPal link on our

community website, Twinmillfarmshoa.com. If you have any questions about the payment

options, PAYHOA resident portal system, or payment plans please don’t hesitate to reach out to

us at our email (Ccompton@tiholdings.com, Sgilliland@triwestenterprises.com). We will get

back with you as soon as possible and help solve the issue! We appreciate all our residents who

have paid so far. Having our dues paid makes a great difference in our community budget as well

as our ability to function effectively as an association.
