Don/Mike,
It has been a couple of months since you posted anything, but there is a link on this website that sort of outlines the covenants: http://www.neighborhoodlink.com/Cottonwood/pages/63923
I was wondering if you are any of the other neighbors you know would be interested in doing a neighborhood cleanup. We just need some volunteers and the willingness of the neighborhood to partake. I can get my hands on some free sod and I'm sure if we put the word out there with flyers or go door-to-door, some of the residents might pitch in a dollar or two to fund some of the projects (ie, the fence on Sandreed that is and has been missing for years - it's only about 15 feet and would probably cost around $200). I also read that there may be grants available for neighborhood cleanup. Maybe include local businesses for some tree pruning, painting, etc. but it is the lawns that are most desperate. Let me know you thoughts. I would be willing to give you my information so we can get the ball rolling.
