| Covenant Enforcement
Please remember, our covenants prohibit parking trucks larger than 2
axles, trailers, mobile homes, boats, campers and buses on our
property unless they are stored within a closed garage or within an
approved, enclosed area screened from view from outside the
lot. Residents are reminded vehicles cannot be parked on
landscaping.
The next time you pick up your mail say Hello to your mailbox and
look at it closely. Is it faded, covered in rust or badly
dented? Most often the forgotten mailbox is the first view a
person has of your house. Our covenants state that all
mailboxes and supports shall be well maintained (free of large
dents, rust, corrosion, with straight standing supports, not
leaning) and meet U. S. Postal Service requirements. Mailboxes
are to be set back from the sidewalk so that the front of the
mailbox is near, but does not overhang, the sidewalk. So check
your mailbox. It may be time to add a coat of paint or go
shopping for a new one.

Perimeter Fence Project
The
PPCA board in conjunction with results of the Fence Replacement
Survey have voted to proceed with the process of seeking resident
approval for installing a perimeter fence along the Peoria Park
perimeter of E. Jewell Ave and S. Lima St. Residents will be
informed of all steps in this process.
How Proud Are You Of Your Trash?
Does it hang out on display in your front yard or on the
curb? Is it comfortable by your garage or does it lurk
by the side of your house?
The protective covenants of Peoria Park state that trash cans or
storage piles must be fenced, walled in or concealed from the view
of other residential lots and streets. Plans for enclosures on
the side of homes must be approved by the Architectural Control
Committee. Trash cans may be stored inside a back yard fence. City
of Aurora ordinance's state that trash containers may not be placed
in the front yard before 5:00 p.m. on the day before trash pickup
and must be removed within 12 hours after pickup. You are ask
to place your trash containers at the end of your driveway or
another area that does not block city sidewalks. It is
prohibited to block public access to sidewalks with any object.
Remember we all want a community that is clean. We also want
our house values to rise. Make sure your trash is stored out
of sight. Be considerate of walkers and small children, they
are your neighbors!
Peoria Park Entrance Signs
New entrance signs are now at the entrances to our
neighborhood identifying us as a covenant
protected community. There
are plans to put a light at the base of the sign to
illuminate it at night. Pete Caldwell, "Signs by
Tomorrow" owner and Peoria Park resident donated his time in
making and installing the sign. Email the board at board@peoriapark.org
to let us know what you think!

| Neighborhood Liaison
Have you noticed all the joggers, walkers, strollers and small
children passing in front of our houses? Isn't is
wonderful!! We are fortunate to live in a community that is
safe and friendly enough to accommodate sidewalk activities.
The City of Aurora made it even more pleasant by replacing our
sidewalks last summer. However, residents have noted that
sidewalks are often blocked by trash cans, moveable basketball
stands, overgrown bushes or other objects. City ordinances
require sidewalks remain clear. Bushes must be cut back 6
inches to clear the walkway. Your attention to keeping our
sidewalks clear helps us all!
