Board signs contract with third-party bookkeeper; lot owner portals coming soon! Good news! Later this month, the Board will begin providing online access to our financials, meeting minutes, controlling documents and policies, resident directory and Clubhouse rental calendar through HOA Community Links (HOACL), a Carmel-based third-party bookkeeping vendor. HOACL will move our old bookkeeping function that was heavily reliant on slow, manual processes to a more modern digital solution with 24/7 account access and individual portal accounts for each Eagle Nest lot owner. And we’re doing it for about half the cost of the former bookkeeper’s annual salary! But let’s be clear: We’re not hiring a management company to take over Eagle Nest, only the bookkeeping function. Using this third-party vendor will provide more efficiency, transparency and the professionalism residents deserve. It’s also worth noting that we’ve leveraged third-party providers for years, including independent co...

Life is busy, we get it. Work, school, kids, travel, you name it. Reading a through a packet of legalese isn't a priority for most folks. But taking a just a few minutes to review and vote on the Board's proposed covenant amendments could affect your property values for years to come. We're looking to ban short-term rentals, Airbnbs and Vrbos, as well as address residents' concerns about parking and garbage. Will you help? So far, 46% of Eagle Nest lot owners have submitted their proxy ballots, most in support of our proposals. But we’re not there yet. We have until Dec. 22 to collect a simple majority of yes or no votes. The Board recommends passage of all the measures, but the final decision is up to residents, of course. We simply ask owners to participate in the process. And if you drop your proxy in the Clubhouse mailbox by Friday, Oct. 30, you'll be entered into a random drawing for a $25 VISA gift card. Six lot owners have won so far -- a mix of supporters an...

Fellow residents, A sincere thank you to all residents who have submitted their proxy vote in our ongoing covenant amendment campaign. About three and a half months into our effort, we have collected 42% of lot proxies – most in support of our proposals. But we’re not there yet. We have until Dec. 22 to collect a simple majority of yes or no votes, and we want to ensure we capture as many votes as possible. But we know life is busy, and sometime folks need a little reminder. That’s why the Board has sponsored random $25 gift card drawings to nudge lot owners to vote. We’ve started door-to-door visits to pass out flyers. And we’ve created a special landing page on our blog site with links to a downloadable proxy form and all the related documentation to read up on. How you can help If you support protecting property values by banning short-term rentals and maintaining our community aesthetics by clarifying rules on parking and garbage, please turn in your proxy form as soon as p...

Sometimes the small things can make a big difference – like submitting your Eagle Nest proxy to update our neighborhood covenants. That’s what lot owners Annette Donegan (Lot 034) of Sandpiper Court, Aaron Lopez (Lot 207) of Tanager Lane, and Jerry Larson (Lot 319) of Shrike Court did, and each was randomly selected to win a $25 Visa gift card just for turning in their ballot. We can’t say how they voted, but we’re thankful they took two seconds to make their voice heard! As you probably know, the Board is seeking to protect our property values by banning short-term rentals, and maintaining our community aesthetics by clarifying rules on parking and garbage. The Board believes these central issues will define our community’s future. Why leave those decisions to someone else?

By now you may have seen postings or heard discussion about the Board’s proposed updates to our 50-year-old neighborhood Declarations, the shared guidance on rentals, parking and other concerns in Eagle Nest. In July, neighborhood volunteers distributed a packet with the information to all 419 homes in our development, and hundreds of reminder emails have gone out with the existing Declarations for comparison . (If you can’t find your packet, please contact Board President Scott Thien or Vice President John Strauss .) The new proposals have been posted multiple times on the ENPOA Facebook page and the Eagle Nest Blog , along with a detailed account of last week's well-attended Board meeting, including resident questions and remarks. We know these proposals aren't perfect for everybody. In a neighborhood of 419 homes there will be many opinions about how best to protect our property values. But we have to start somewhere. With regard to the proposed ban on short-term rentals,...

The September Board meeting was one of the most heavily attended in recent years, with residents raising detailed questions about rental restrictions, transparency, and long‑term infrastructure needs. Residents spent more than 45 minutes discussing proposed covenant updates, particularly the section aimed at limiting rentals, including Airbnbs and other short-term rentals. Several residents expressed concern that the draft language felt “too restrictive,” especially regarding: Whether land‑contract sales would be allowed Whether family members (such as aging parents or adult children with special needs) could live in a home not titled in their name How exceptions would be handled Board members emphasized that the language was drafted by a national HOA law firm and reflects “best practices,” but acknowledged that some scenarios, especially family‑care situations, require clarification. The Board confirmed it has already sent follow‑up questions to the attorneys. Residents also asked wh...

The next Eagle Nest Board Meeting is Thursday, Sept. 10, at 6:30 p.m. September's monthly board meeting will begin with a Q-and-A period of 45 minutes on the proposed covenant amendments, which are intended to protect the residential nature of Eagle Nest by limiting rentals, and update the 50-year-old Declarations on parking and other issues now in effect.

Summer is winding down, but the competition will be heating up on our sports courts this month! Join us at noon Saturday, Sept. 19, for our inaugural Eagle Nest Pickleball Tournament at our beautifully refurbished sports courts! Organized by longtime Tanager Lane resident Chuck Mayfield and sponsored by the Board of Directors, our first tournament is free and open to all skill levels, and residents are welcome to bring non-neighborhood players to join the fun. It’s a chance to show what a gem our neighborhood is, and how our residents embody the word community! Extensive court repairs It’s also a great way to unveil our newly refurbished sports courts, a three-month project led by Clubhouse Manager Kelly Dentler in the east end of our Clubhouse grounds. Our contractor ground out and refilled multiple deep cracks, smoothed out the playing surface, and sealed and repainted both courts with striping for tennis and pickleball, the first extensive repairs in eight years. Early feedback from...
