FAQ

Q:  How can I help out or join the board?
A:  We always need volunteers! Contact any board member and ask!  Board member elections are in October each year; however, volunteers are always welcome to step forward.

Q:  I am a realtor buying/selling a home in the neighborhood and need a dues letter for closing.  Who do I contact?
A:  Please email the treasurer and Above & Beyond at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (or mail to Above & Beyond, 507 Airport N. Office Park,  Fort Wayne, IN 46825) at least 2 weeks before the closing date. Please give as much advance warning as possible. Include the lot number, seller info, buyer info, date of closing, and where to send the letter.

Q:  What can you do about my neighbor's lawn that needs mowed?
A:  Unfortunately, we can do nothing.  The town of Huntertown has a weed ordinance, and only they can enforce it. Please call the town hall at 637-5058 to discuss the issue with them.  They may visit the homeowner and discuss, or even ticket the properly for a violation.

Q:  Why do the ponds have weeds/algae in them and why don’t you kill it?
A:  We contract with a pond maintenance contractor to treat the ponds to control algae growth. Please contact Above and Beyond, and let them know your concern. Take pictures also, to support your request.

It is not possible to prevent ALL plant growth.  Some species are resistance to the herbicides that are safe to use in ponds, and the pond shallow areas will always grow plant life due to sunlight that penetrates the water.  The best thing that we can all do is to limit the use of lawn fertilizer with phosphorus, which feeds the algae in our ponds as it runs off our lawn.

Q:  Do I need architectural approval for my landscaping/fence/addition?
A:  Please submit a completed Architectural Request Form for approval.  Note that fences cannot be taller than 4 feet.  We do not need to review landscaping plans with plants, just structures.   Please allow 30 days for review of your submission.

Q:  Who plows our streets?
A:  The association does not plow streets. This is done by Huntertown.

Q:  My neighbor is doing something that I don’t like, and I need help.  What should I do?
A:  The association board is charged with very few tasks by the by-laws, such as maintenance of the common grounds and architectural control on the lots.  Contact Above and Beyond at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (or mail to Above & Beyond, 507 Airport N. Office Park,  Fort Wayne, IN 46825) to see if it is a concern that the board can address per by-laws and covenants. Generally, we cannot resolve neighbor disputes but encourage you to have a peaceful conversation and work through the issue.

Q:  I don’t use the pool; therefore, I don’t think I should pay dues.
A:  The covenants state that all homeowners are required to pay dues upon purchasing a home in the neighborhood.  ALL homeowner's pay dues to maintain all of the common grounds that includes the pool, ponds, grass areas, street lights, and signs.
