Meeting was held at our regularly scheduled HOA meeting on November 21, 2024 where Budget was approved and Adopted.

Due to some final preparations for towing the BOD is delaying the planned start date from January 1. We have purposely delayed the start date to ensure all planning is complete and finalized. You will see much more communication on this topic with our hopes to have services in place in the near future.

Association has approved a contract with Redmon’s Towing to help enforce the “Parking Rules” of the Association. A letter was mailed to each homeowner with more details of this new service. If you have any questions, please contact Foster Premier (Steve Tillinghast) @ (847) 459-1222.

Please make sure to make accommodations needed to ensure your vehicles will be in compliance with Park Place Rules and Regulations and vehicles parked in your garages or driveways.

Park Place BOD will continue to identify trip hazards and/or sidewalk separation as phase two and review areas that need correcting. This may be a combination of replacement or mud jacking.

Park Place BOD has finished the second and final phase with National Soft Wash this year. In 2023 50% of the buildings and patios were washed and this year (2024) the remaining 50% were completed. The BOD has no plan to continue this service on an annual basis and we ask every homeowner to help maintain the cleanliness of their homes and patios.

Approximately every six years we HOA will paint the exterior wood trim on our units. We have obtained our quotes and plan to proceed with Inside Out Construction (IOC). As we looked at painting the exterior trim, it became evident that much of the wood trim has rotted and can’t be painted. With these findings we performed a study of all the homes and where repairs are required with a plan to have the wood replaced prior to commencement of the painting. Starting next Spring 2025, we intend to have IOC perform needed wood trim repairs (billed back to homeowners) and then commence with painting as an HOA Capital Expense. More details have been mailed to your home.

Park Place BOD has renewed a contract with Bluehost design services to maintain the Park Place of Itasca website as needed by the Park Place Board of Directors.

Park Place BOD will look into repairs or maintenance on general pond structures (inlets). We will discuss with contractors next steps.

The rip rap replenishment project around the ponds is slated for more rock this year. As we look into the erosion control project we are also looking into augmenting stone rip rap over the existing stone perimeter.

Park Place BOD will continue to work on window replacement project. Each home will be evaluated and older windows will be replaced. Due to budgetary reasons this project will span five years from older homes to the newer homes based on when they were built within the community.
