Tips from Louisville Metro Police Department
Here are some tips from LMPD around reducing opportunities for car and property theft.
Please consider the following prevention tips to greatly reduce your chances of being victimized:
· REMOVE KEYS FROM INSIDE VEHICLES
· LOCK VEHICLE DOORS
· CLOSE GARAGES
· REMOVE GARAGE DOOR OPENERS FROM VEHICLES
· REMOVE ANY VALUABLES FROM INSIDE VEHICLES
Your cooperation is essential in making our neighborhoods safer and less appealing to potential thieves. By locking your vehicles and ensuring keys and garage door openers are not left inside, we can collectively deter criminal activity.
Return of House Plans
As our community's development nears completion, we'd like to address an important matter regarding your building plans. Throughout the development of Persimmon Ridge, we've stored copies of all building plans for homeowners' convenience. However, due to limited storage space, the HOA has decided to return these plans to their respective owners.
Key Points:
1. Plan Return Process:
- All plans should be picked up at the pool house.
- To ensure a quick pickup, a SignUp Genius is available now for you to choose a time to pick up the plans. Link to SignUp Genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A49A9AF29A0FAC34-52458858-return#/
- The pick-up date is November 7th.
- If you wish to collect a copy of your building plans but this date doesn’t work for you, please email PRHOADirectors@gmail.com no later than November 7th.
2. Collection Deadline:
- Homeowners have until November 7th to collect their plans or emailPRHOADirectors@gmail.com to make arrangements to pick up.
- On November 8th, all uncollected plans will be destroyed.
3. Future Considerations:
- If you intend to make architectural changes to your home or property in the future, thePersimmon Ridge Architectural Review Committee (ARC) reserves the right to request a copy of your building plans, if necessary for review.
- As a homeowner, you are required to provide this information upon request.
We understand this is a significant undertaking. As your board is run by volunteers, we appreciate your patience throughout this process. Don't miss this opportunity to obtain your building plans.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Playground and Pavilion Project
The playground and pavilion project is nearing completion. The pavilion has been completed, while the playground is still under construction. We are waiting for additional mulch to be brought in prior to opening up the playground for use. We hope that the mulch will be installed in the next few weeks. More details will be sent out and posted on the PR HOA FB page once we have a firm opening date for the playground. We appreciate everyone's patience as we focus on completing the playground!
Invasive Grasses at the Tennis Courts
Great news! Greenscapes will be clearing the invasive grass by the tennis courts this fall! The invasive grass has constantly been an issue as they have been getting bigger every year and attract weeds and bugs. It has also become a trash repository. We are excited to finally get rid of this around the tennis courts while replacing them with green arborvitaes that will be much more appealing.
2024 Election Polling Location for Persimmon Ridge Residents

New Late Fee Policy in effect beginning October 15
At the September 2024 Board Meeting, the PR HOA Board of Directors unanimously adopted a new Late Fee Policy. Please see below. This new policy was put into place due to the previous policy not getting the attention of those who continued to put off paying their required balances.
New policy:
A late fee of $50.00 will be assessed on any account that exceeds the due date for the first month (30 days).
Thereafter, a $25.00 per week late fee will be assessed until the balance is paid in full.
Additionally, any member carrying any balance will be prohibited from using any community amenity, including but not limited to the pool, pavilion, playground, tennis courts, etc.
The board will consider a reasonable payment plan for hardship matters, at their discretion, and on a very limited basis.
Cornerstone Property Management will continue to follow the 30, 60, 90 day notices.The Board of Directors will approve accounts to go to the Association’s attorney for collection.
All fees related to collection, ie attorney fees and court fees will be billed to the account holder and in accordance with the declarations.
If you have any questions related to this policy, please call or email Cornerstone at502-384-9012 or at melinda@contactcornerstone.com.
