he KPHOA Board has set the date of the 2024 annual meeting for September 19, 2024 at 7 p.m. in the Club House. Hope to see you there…we have many new faces in our neighborhood…let’s meet face-to-face and welcome everyone!

The 2024  Pool Rules are below and share with your household as a reminder of our collective agreed upon standards for pool participants to keep everyone safe and having a good time. 

Note:  The recent increase in dead fish is being investigated but heat is suspected to be the cause.  The HOA will make residents aware if another cause is found.  Do not drop fish caught offsite into the ponds! There is now an issue with our fish because someone has added Crappie from off-site to our ponds. 

Crappie fish in a small environment like ours (and even in larger ponds/lakes) are prolific in spawning and can overwhelm other fish in the area...especially Bass and Catfish (exactly what we have stocked in the front ponds). Crappie fish are active in winter and spawn earlier than other fish. Because they spawn first, they are ready to eat the spawn of our other fish (Bass and Catfish spawn later in the season). Because the spawning of our stocked fish is interrupted, eventually our stock of fish will die out through this lack of reproduction success.

For those of you unaware, the two front ponds are connected for drainage purposes through a culvert under Kelly Ridge Boulevard. Thus, what is in one pond, is in the other also (eventually).

So, because we now have a population of Crappie in the front ponds, we are asking that if you are fishing in the front ponds and catch one, please take it home and enjoy your catch--they are considered to be one of the best tasting freshwater fish, with a flaky white flesh. Please google what a Crappie looks like.  A photo was in the email sent to residents. Neighborhood policy of catch and release for Bass and Catfish is still in place.

If you happen to see anyone dropping off their catch in our ponds, please ask them to not do it. Despite the best of intentions, this might be an expensive solution to fix.

Please enjoy your fishing...

An updated version of the guidelines has been emailed out and is also on our document page of this website.  

The ARC Guidelines are pulled from the KPHOA Declaration of Covenants and are in place to provide clarification and interpretation of the Covenants, maintain consistency of implementation, and compliance in our neighborhood.

Following are the major points that were added and/or clarified from the previous version:

Clarification of building setback measurements pertaining to structures such as porches, stoops, steps, terraces, decks, patios, and the eaves of out buildings.

Clarification of roof pitch requirement for detached garage and auxiliary structures.

Clarification of fencing procedure for neighbors that wish to join with existing property fences.

Revision to reflect the relative state of full neighborhood build out to clear new build content in most areas and tied each section of the guidelines to the specific part in the Covenants.

Submission process and procedure for the review of plans and designs of improvements within the community to the ARC.

Should you have any questions about the ARC Guidelines, the members of the ARC Committee and the Board are available to answer them. Please feel free to reach out at info@ehmusa.com or kellyplantationhoaboard@gmail.com.
