We hope you’ve enjoyed a wonderful summer at the pool so far! We wanted to inform you that the Southern Pointe pool will officially close for the year on October 1st!
The last day the pool will be open is September 30th for the 2024 season! We encourage you to take full advantage of the pool until the closing day. Thank you!
July 9, 2024
Due to yesterday’s storm, the pool will be closed today for maintenance. The pool cleaners need to remove excess water, shock, and clean the pool multiple times. We apologize for any inconvenience, but the safety of our residents and the pool’s condition are our top priorities.
We look forward to resuming normal pool hours on Wednesday!
July 2, 2024
3:30 pm update – The pool is now open and ready for you to enjoy! Please remember to use the porta potties located just outside the entrance for the time being.
12:00 pm update – We are unsure of the exact resolution time for the plumbing issues in the restrooms at the pool and park area, but we want to open the pool as soon as possible. We are currently setting up air-conditioned trailer porta-potties, and they should be set by mid-afternoon, but please be on the lookout for an email from me when the pool is open!
6:45 am update- there is an obstruction in the plumbing that we are still diligently working on. The pool remains closed and we will have another update later today.
July 1, 2024
The pool is closed due to plumbing issues with the restrooms. We are working diligently to get this resolved and will post when the pool has been re-opened.

POOL OPENING FLYER CLICK HERE
Southern Pointe Community;
We hope everyone is enjoying their summer! It is with great excitement that we announce our Pool and Splash Pad will open on Friday, June 28th at 4:30pm. We will have JJ’s Snowcones from 4:30-6:30 and the pool will be open until 8:00pm. Please note that we have had some extensive backorders on some of the pool and splashpad equipment, but we have worked hard to get the facility functional and ready for use by the residents. As equipment comes in, there will be some down time to install the equipment, of which the pool will be closed. We will work to keep this to a minimum, but we felt the residents would prefer this option and the pool opening sooner rather than delaying the opening until the backordered parts arrived. One example is the splashpad equipment that is currently installed is temporary and will be replaced with new equipment.
In order to attend the pool opening, you must complete the required forms in your Member Access Portal and receive approval from the management office. Your FOB access card will be available to pick up at the Kick Off Pool Party, Friday June 28th from 4:30-6:30 pm or from the HOA Management Office during office hours. Below are important details!
Homeowners and primary account holders will receive a Pool Rules & Regulations document via the Member Web Access Portal. Please check your portal to access the documents. Should you not receive the documents, please contact our office for assistance.
Once the document is signed, we will program an access card and notify you it is ready for pickup at the management office or you can pick up at the Kick Off Pool Party as indicated above. The office hours for the management company are Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This Friday, June 28th, pool passes will be moved from the management office to the pool for the kick-off party between 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. Please note that pool cards will not be distributed during this time.
Management will be distributing pool passes in the pool parking lot this Wednesday and Thursday (June 26th & 27th) from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Please make note of the following:
Only homeowners (primary account holders) will be able to pick up their card key, using a state license or another form of ID for verification.
Rental tenants will need to obtain their access cards from their landlords.
Access cards will only be available to those who have signed the Pool Rules & Regulations document and have been notified by management.
Amenities
The playground, pickle ball courts and basketball courts are all complete. Regular playground cleaning services are hired so the playground is well-kept. We have constructed restroom facilities that can be accessed from the park and courts area. These restrooms are accessible by Southern Pointe Residents only via their access key. Residents will use your same FOB card that you are issued for the pool to access the restrooms.
Additional pet waste stations have been installed along the trails and the fishing ponds. Catch and Release Only signs have also been installed at the ponds. We encourage everyone to adhere to these rules so there is continued enjoyment of the fishing ponds.
As always, a friendly reminder, for the safety and well-being of residents, please avoid all areas under construction and a
friendly reminder that undeveloped land is not to be used by residents and is considered trespassing. We are grateful for each one of you that has chosen to make Southern Pointe your home and we will continue to work hard to make this a wonderful community for you to call home.
Yours Truly,
Wallace Phillips III
President/Director

The new violation fine and enforcement policy, along with the assessment collection policy, has been adopted and filed. You can find it online under the governing documents tab or via this direct link: HERE. This policy is to be implemented immediately. The key changes to the fine and enforcement policy are as follows:
- The first notice will be a friendly reminder with no fine, giving you 7 days to comply.
- If non-compliance continues, a notice of fine will be sent, and a $50 fine will be charged.
- For each subsequent week the violation is not corrected, fines will increase as follows: $75, $100, $150, $200.
- If the violation persists beyond 6 weeks, the matter will be referred to the board and legal counsel. Additionally, a $50 daily fine will be imposed.
- Note: After the initial reminder, you will not receive another one for 6 months. For example, if you receive a reminder for your yard one week and comply, but your yard is non-compliant again a month later, you will automatically receive a notice of fine and be charged $50.
We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the integrity of the Southern Pointe Community.

Trash Can Screening Requirements
Trash Can Screens: Per the CCR’s the homeowners must keep their trash can screened from view. If the homeowner does not want to keep their trash can in the garage, you will need to construct a screen which compliments the fencing. Below are guidelines:
1. Height 4 – 4.5’, Length recommend 3’ but no longer than 4’ (do not build to the property line).
2. Building material should match/compliment your fencing material
3. Do not install screening in line with the front of the home, set it back a minimum of 2’.
4. Stagger screens when two homes have screening in between them – Stagger so there is plenty of room to move trash cans in and out.
5. When possible, don’t have two homes with screening in between them.
6. Please coordinate communicate with each other on this situation.

Developer Update 10/01/2021
August 31, 2021
The developer apologizes for the recent fiber outages and understands the importance of the fiber service.
In the last 90 days, the Southern Pointe Community has experienced 6 fiber related outages for a total of ~16.5 hours due to construction activities. While that is a 99.2 percentage of uptime, such interruptions are not what is desired for the community.
The developer was made aware that the temporary fiber trunk line recently and should have been notified earlier but was not because of a communication error, which is now remedied. After being made aware, the fiber truck line was marked and unfortunately, this weekend a lone construction crew cut the fiber line in the market area. CEO, each time, has taken the initiative to act promptly to repair. This was not a CEO issue but a construction issue. The general contractor has been notified. As each phase gets complete in the neighborhood, more resiliency will be achieved in the fiber network. In the meantime, we are quickly working to implement several processes and taken steps to minimize construction issues now.
Once again, our sincere apologies.
August 28, 2021
We have received many of your emails regarding the main entrance to the community and we have forwarded those to the developer. Below is an update from the developer.
We completely understand that everyone is anxious to use the entrance and the new road to the community. We are aware that there are others using the road other than just the residents. We have contractors that must use the road to complete the entrance project as well as we have contractors that are working on the new home sections in the community. We have contacted our builders and requested that all contractors that are working in the Section 100 phase do not use the main entrance for access. We have also requested that for those that the main entrance is their only avenue for access to where they are working, reduce their speeds for the safety of the workers. We cannot completely barricade the road off as it must be used in some instances. We are requesting that if you see streets that have barricades or partial barricades that you do not use those roads for the time being. The development team will also look into alternate ways to help alleviate the situation but as you all know, there is no way to keep people 100% from using the road. With that being said, we will deal with the situation as best as we can. As many of you pointed out, we gave a tentative date of opening within three weeks after our last update. There were some unforeseen delays with the city and our contractor but we are optimistic to have the road officially opened by the end of September should we not encounter further delays.
Regarding the section 100 park, the sidewalks are complete and we are waiting for delivery of the park benches. Order confirmation for the playground equipment is pending as manufacturers are experiencing delays in production from labor shortages due to Covid. As mentioned previously, we will send an update on the equipment once we have a confirmation from the manufacturer and shipping timelines. Please know all updates and dates we give you are tentative. We do work hard to meet those dates. We certainly believe the completion dates are attainable when we give them to you, however there are many moving pieces and many new challenges within construction that can cause delays like we have encountered. We thank you in advance for your cooperation as we work through this transition period

The main entrance off Highway 6 is not open for use. For the safety of the workers in the area and those attempting to travel on the unfinished road, it should not be used until it is officially opened. We will notify the community when the road is open for use. Thank you for respecting this request.
July 28, 2021
Southern Pointe Community;
We have received the following update from the Southern Pointe development team. If you have other questions, feel free to reach out to us and we will get back with you.
Entrance
We are thrilled with how the Community Entrance on highway 6 is coming together. We expect it to be completed in the next six weeks and the road open within the next three weeks.
Concrete Trail System
The new concrete trail system around the big detention pond in Section 100 is in and this area is being mowed and maintained. The irrigation contract has been awarded and we are waiting on the irrigator to give us a schedule for installation. Once irrigation is in, we will move forward with planting trees and bushes.
Park
Park equipment and the design of the park is in progress and when we have the park equipment finalized, we will post pictures on hoa website so residents will have an idea of what is planned. We hope to have the park equipment in by mid-November but this is very tentative date. The last two parks we put in for other communities had over four-month delays on equipment and installation due to a backlog in production and from Covid related material and labor shortages. We will do our very best to get these installed in a timely manner, but delays have become very common in the construction industry.
New Sections Opening
Section 200 was just completed, and the lots are all currently under contract. Builders have already begun to close these lots and houses will be started soon which is why a Japanese Knotweed Company is cleaning the area. Section 200 will also be the new home to “Model Home Row”. Builders will construct their new model homes and when those are complete, the existing model homes on Eldora will be closed and sold to homeowners.
Section 101 in nearing completion and provided we do not have extensive rain, these lots should be complete in three weeks. All section 101 lots are also under contract so builders will start homes as soon as the development is complete.
Please keep in mind that there have been many delays due to the extensive amount of rain that we received for nearly two months. We are hopeful that with some dry weather, progress will speed up and timelines will be met. Our contractors are very behind due to the rain as well as labor shortages that are very common right now in many industries. We appreciate your patience and are grateful that you have chosen Southern Pointe as your home.
06/28/2021
Beginning around 8:45 pm, Sunday, July 4th, a fireworks show is scheduled and the residents of Southern Pointe will have a great view to spectate. The fireworks will be managed on top of the old grandstand hill (a non-public area and a distance from homes) and you are welcome to watch from your home, front yards or common areas in Section 100.
