Approved Paint Specifications for Wrought Iron & Block Walls (28-Day Comment Period)
Dear Alterra Residents,
At the Board Meeting held on June 12, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the attached paint specifications for a 28-day member comment period. These specifications, prepared in partnership with Sherwin-Williams, will apply to any wrought iron fencing and block walls within the community—including those maintained by individual homeowners.
Having professional paint specifications ensures long-term durability, proper surface preparation, and the use of high-quality materials suited for our specific environment. This helps reduce maintenance costs over time and preserves the overall appearance and consistency of the community.
We encourage all residents to review the document and provide any comments vraboin@actionlife.com by July 9, 2025. Owners can also attend the next scheduled meeting (which will be held via Zoom) to provide their comments during Open Forum. The Board will review homeowner feedback and consider official adoption of the specifications at the next Board Meeting scheduled for July 10, 2025.
Thank you!

Roof Cleaning Reminder
Dear Alterra Homeowners,
Green algae / moss has been recently observed on several rooftops throughout the community. This type of growth is common but can impact both the appearance of the neighborhood and the condition of the roofing materials over time.
To maintain the overall curb appeal of the community, homeowners are kindly asked to inspect and clean their roofs as needed. A 30-day courtesy period is being provided for all properties to address this issue. Please ensure that any visible moss or algae is removed by May 30, 2025.
Following this period, management will begin routine inspections and may issue non-compliance notices to homes where the buildup remains.
Thank you for helping preserve the beauty and value of the neighborhood!
