Community Improvement Efforts Underway
As shared at the Community Kick‐Off Meeting in June, we are beginning a new & exciting era here at Creek’s Edge. With many hardships now behind us, we are moving forward and striving to improve the quality of our neighborhood. The Board of Directors, Committee Members, and Cedar Management look forward to working with all homeowners in an effort to make this possible.
Many improvements have been made throughout the community already, and now we are reaching out to you – individual property owners. We all have investments here at Creek’s Edge and we encourage everyone to keep their homes and yards looking their best so that everyone benefits.
With a new management company on board, we are now moving forward with better and stronger enforcement of rules and guidelines as set forth in the community’s Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, as well as the By‐Laws. As a homeowner, you should’ve received a copy of both documents at the time of purchasing your home. However, if you do not have a copy, they are now available for download on this website, or you can call Cedar Management and request they be mailed to you.
Cedar Management does a monthly drive through, looking for violations. They will be taking a more active approach, sending more “friendly reminder” letters and violation notices. If you receive one of these and have any questions, please contact Cedar immediately. Two violation inspections have already taken place (June and July). Currently, the number of violations is extensive so they are gradually being addressed, beginning with more major offenses. If you would like to know if your home is in violation, please contact Cedar.
Some common issues include (but are not limited to):

property taxes
We wanted to make all homeowners aware of a small detail regarding property taxes that can make a big difference in how much you are paying annually. If your home in Creek's Edge is your primary residence, you need to ensure that it is set up that way with York County. Most of the homes in our community have seen property taxes in the range of $900-$1000. This can vary somewhat, but you should not see a bill for thousands of dollars. If you have been paying this higher amount, be sure to update your information with the county.

Reminder to Pet Owners
A common complaint in the neighborhood has been in relation to pets. The issues vary, but include things such as:
- dogs parking and disturbing other neighbors
- cats and dogs roaming onto other people's property and damaging their yards
- loose dogs frightening young children
We'd like to provide a few gentle reminder to all pet owners in the neighborhood about some of the laws and regulations pertaining to owning domestic animals.
The Leash Law in York County is as follows:
"York County requires all animals to be either fenced in, on a leash, or under the control of their owners at all times when outside. Domestic animals are not allowed on private property without the property owner's consent. Animals that roam free can get lost or seriously injured. They are also subject to being picked up by Animal Control officers. Animal owners are liable for their pet's actions. You can prevent your animal from becoming a nuisance by keeping it confined to your property, or on a leash and controlled, as required by law. Failure to do so can result in legal or financial problems for you. Violation of York County's leash law can result in a fine of up to $200 plus court costs and the cost of impounding the animal."
Creek's Edge Covenants state "all household pets shall be kept under Owner's control so as not to be a nuisance to other Owners."
Keep in mind there is also a noise ordinance in York County that runs from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., which applies to animals as well.
If you have a complaint about a neighborhood animal, we encourage you to contact Cedar Management at support@cedarmanagementgroup.com or by calling 1-877-25CEDAR. They will anonymously contact the pet owner about the issue. If you feel an animal is in danger, or could endanger homeowners, you can contact Animal Control at 803-628-3190. We encourage you to use Animal Control as a last resort, and work with the Board and Cedar Management to handle the situation peacefully.

HOMEOWNER SURVEY!
The Board of Directors has put together a community survey and we'd love for all homeowners to take a few minutes to complete it online. It is only 10 questions and shouldn't take long to answer. This will be used by the Board and committees to ensure that community plans are meeting the needs and priorities of the neighbors.

The Snowmen of Creek's Edge
February 12th and 13th brought a beautiful blanket of snow over our neighborhood. It didn't last long, but the kids (and kids at heart) had plenty of time to built snowmen, forts, and play their hearts out! Here are some snapshots of the temporary snow residents of our neighborhood...

Notices to Homeowners
Application Fee:
As of January 1, 2010, there is a new application fee associated with all architectural and construction applications. This fee is to cover administrative costs associated with the application process and any surplus would be added to the HOA budget. This fee is to be paid only once per application. If you are required to resubmit an application, the first payment will cover all subsequent submissions. We thank you in advance for your support in ensuring our application process can continue to work efficiently. If you have any questions concerning this issue, please email us at CreeksEdgeHOA@yahoo.com. You can also email us if you are in need of an application.
Local Law Enforcement:
If you need law enforcment assistance for any reason, please keep in mind that the Rock Hill Police Department does not have jurisdiction outside of the city limits (which is where our community is located). Please contact the York County Sherriff's Office at (803) 628-3059. And of course, in the case of a true emergency, always dial 911.
Newsletter Advertisements:
Inexpensive advertising opportunities are available for local businesses and homeowners. If you or someone you know is interested, please email CreeksEdgeHOA@yahoo.com and we will send you the appropriate form. All newsletter advertisers are also featured on the website. Basic pricing is as follows:
- Three-month business card ad = $20 for residents; $30 for non-residents
- One-month business card ad = $10 (good for classified type ads)
- Three-month ad + one-month sponsorship = $50
Newsletter by e-mail:
If you have an active e-mail account, we are encouraging you to receive the monthly Creek's Edge Chronicles newsletter via e-mail, rather than by paper. This is a much greener option, and also saves the Association money. Those funds can then be spent on exciting activities for the community!
