• Please do not go into the pool covered in dirt, grass or sand. The Fulton County Board of Health requires that everyone rinse off before entering the pool and there are two very nice showers in each of the bathrooms for you to use.
• Please do not bring food or drinks into the pool.
• Please throw your trash away. Leaving it makes a mess for others to have to clean up and it can blow into the pool. If you smoke, please do outside of the pool are and properly dispose of your trash.
• Please use the bathrooms as needed and wash children in the bathrooms, not in the pool.
• Please do not put pool furniture into the pool. If you have dirty pool toys, please rinse them before bringing them in the pool.

Please remember the amenities are for all Avensong residents to use and enjoy. We ask that you keep other people in mind when playing in and around our amenities and common areas. Show respect to your neighbors and to the amenities. If you are playing or riding your bike in the parking lot, please watch for cars and stay far away from parked cars. Parents should accompany small children when they are playing on the play structure. If you bring potential trash with you to the common areas (food containers, bottles, bags) please take any trash with you when you leave. If your amenity card is activated, please place trash in the receptacles stored under the clubhouse deck.

If your dog is not in your yard please respect your neighbors; control and pick up after your dogs.

 

The pet waste issue continues to be a big problem for our community. Please remember to pick up after your dog. Not only is it a law in the City of Milton, it is the polite thing to do. We do have a $50.00 “Instant Penalty” for not picking up after your dog when not on your own property. If you see someone not pick up after their dog, please take a picture of the person with the dog and the mess they left behind. When we identify the human, they’ll be issued a fine. (This penalty and others can be found on the Governing Documents tab of this website.)

While it is lots of fun to let your dogs run free in the enclosed area, please remember to pick up after them. Other people, including children and other dogs, use that area to play in too. If the pet waste continues to pile up in the court area we will unfortunately be forced once again to close the area to everyone.

 

Dogs must be on a leash if not in their own yard. This is a law in the City of Milton and is also subject to an “Instant Penalty” of up to $50.00. It is not safe for your dog to be running loose due to speeding cars and encountering other dogs that may not be dog friendly. There are people in our community who don’t want a loose dog running up to them, their children or their own dogs. Our streets are public and everyone has a right to use them without being harassed by an off-leash dog.

 

When you are walking your dog on a leash (thank you!), please keep them from roaming far up into neighbor’s yards. The leash law in Milton specifies a 6’-0” leash should be used to walk a dog. We know many dog walkers use retractable leashes so please please keeps your dogs close to you and the street when walking. Most of the good smells are close to the curbs anyway!

The HOA/ACC is currently working on projects that will help Avensong maintain its charm and appeal as a community within the City of Milton. Please take a moment to look at your home and if any of these situations apply to you, please be ready to address them. Over the next several months, formal notices will be sent to homeowners asking for these items to be addressed so this is an opportunity to address them sooner rather than later.

 

All Avensong Community Design Standards are available for download on the "Governing Documents" page of this website. Please remember, any exterior change/modification to your home requires prior approval from the ACC. The Architectural Modification Request Form can be downloaded from the Governing Documents page as well.

 

Please check all sides of your home, your driveway and any fencing around your property that may need to be cleaned. It is suggested that you schedule pressure washing early to avoid delays due to many homes needing to be cleaned.

 

If you live in the Carriage section please remember that it is your responsibility to maintain your front (and back) lawns. Please provide weed control if your lawn needs it and mow regularly. We are in the growing season and weeds grow faster than grass. If you are continuously receiving notices to mow your lawn, please make sure the weeds in your lawn are under control.

 

Tree limbs and roots are the responsibility of the property they are on, regardless of property lines, not the property of the parent tree. If you are unsure about pruning your trees, or those branches coming across from a neighbor's yard, please contact ACC@avensong.org for help. We will be happy to help you with your tree issues!

 

Please remember that our community standards require front doors, shutters and decorative awnings all be painted the same color and trim around windows and doors must be painted white.

 

Mailboxes should be cleaned, painted and in good repair.

 

Satellite dishes and related hardware must be removed from your home if there is not an active account. 

 

Trash and recycle cans/bins must be stored out of sight from the street after service.

If you own a home and/or live in Avensong, this is your community and the HOA Board of Directors needs your help taking care of it! We have several committees with openings and would love to have more of our residents involved!

 

If you are interested in being a part of any of these committees, or would like more information on what they do, please email hoa@avensong.org and put "committees" in the subject line!

Are you good at managing finances? Do you have a knack for numbers? The HOA Board of Directors is looking for help with our community's finances. Avensong has three sections with three budgets and three separate project plans. If you are interested in helping Avensong manage your money, contact the Board at hoa@avensong.org.

 

 

If you enjoy our amenities and would like to help the Board of Directors keep them safe and open, please volunteer to help us do that! We need eyes and ears to give us a head's up if something isn't working or if there are other problems. We'd also love to get some positive feedback and ideas about how we can improve things around our community. We are not looking for "police" or "enforcement", just a little help making sure our residents are enjoying themselves. If you'd be interested in helping with this committee, please contact hoa@avensong.org.

 

If you have other ideas for our community, please let us know! We're always willing to hear from our neighbors!
