Safety Reminders for Fall and Winter
Posted on Oct 28th, 2023
FALL AND WINTER REMINDERS
~ For all owners that live on a lake, please refrain from blowing leaves and debris in the lakes. If you have a lawn crew that performs this work for you, please advise them as well. Any leaves that can be kept out of the lakes will help the overall quality of the water. Also, do not use fertilizers with phosphorous in it, as this goes into the water and causes algae blooms. Please check with your contractor to make sure that they use phosphorus fertilizer-free fertilizer. If you purchase the fertilizer yourself, the number on the bag that represents phosphorous should be 0.
~ In an effort to combat reckless and underage/illegal driving of golf carts on the public streets in our community, the Stone Oak Security Committee has formed a task force.
The Golf Cart Task Force is made up of Security Committee members and encourages anyone in the community to report this type of behavior to the Lucas County Sheriff's Non-Emergency Line at 419-213-4977.
It is hoped by taking action accidents and potentially tragic consequences can and will be avoided. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
~ The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) protects the community's property values by ensuring new construction and modifications of anything to the exterior of the homes meet our standards and deed restrictions. Any new homes, changes to homes, decks, docks, fences, etc. must have ACC approval. The Board of Trustees has taken legal action --- and successfully won --- with respect to this issue.
~ If you do not receive community e-mail updates, please send your email address to eosstifin@metrotoledohomes.com.
Being included in the email address list will allow you to receive timely "blast alerts" of things that are happening in the community. Also, please regularly visit the website at www.stoneoak-community.com for important and current information about Stone Oak.

Stone Oak HOA Board Decision on School-Related Signs Only
Posted on Jul 29th, 2023
At the 3/9/22 Stone Oak HOA Board Meeting, the Board of Trustees reviewed the deed restrictions with respect to signs. While only "for sale" signs are specifically permitted in the deed restrictions, the Board has the authority to approve other types of signs and recognize the pride that the Stone Oak parents have in their children. Therefore, the Board is granting advance approval for school-related signs only, such as graduation, school welcome or sports signs to be displayed from May 15 - June 15 and August 15 - September 15 each year. School-related signs are not permitted outside of those dates. All other signs, including but not limited to contractor, political and community event signs, are not permitted at any time. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Erin Osstifin, Stone Oak Community Property Manager.
Important Community Updates for Spring, 2023
Posted on Apr 10th, 2023
There are a few ongoing issues in the community that we have been receiving complaints about, namely, trash cans being left out and signs in yards. Both of these items are addressed in the deed restrictions.
GARBAGE CANS; They must be stored inside the garage and may only be placed outside for garbage pick-up on the day that pick-up occurs. Please do not store garbage cans outside.
SIGNS; School related signs, such as graduation, school welcome or spots signs may be displayed from May 15-June 15 an August 15-September 15 of each year. School-related signs are ot permitted outside of these dates. All other signs, including but not limited to contractor, political and community event signs are not permitted at any time.
If you store your garbage cans outside and/or have signs in your yard, your cooperation is kindly appreciated in removing them as soon as possible.
STREET LIGHT OUTAGE; Contact the Property Manager, Erin Osstifin, with the pole number or address of the nearest home of the non-operational light pole.
COMMON AREA; If your property is adjacent to a common area, this is a reminder that it is not to be used for dumping. Common ground may also include land behind your home.

BACK TO SCHOOL REQUIRES ATTENTIVE DRIVING
Posted on Aug 30th, 2022
School is back in session and your Association wants to remind all drivers to be mindful of additional traffic, pedestrians and kids on bikes throughout the community and at bus stops. Please slow down, pay attention when kids are present, especially before and after school.
~WHEN YOU SEE A SCHOOL BUS~
- Passing a bus with flashing lights is illegal in all 50 states.
- If driving behind a school bus, allow a greater following distance of at least 3 car lengths.
- Stay alert for flashing lights on a bus, if you see yellow flashing lights, treat it as if it were a yellow stop light, decrease your speed, and prepare to stop when the red flashing lights appear.
- The area 10 feet around a school bus is the MOST dangerous for children, stop far enough away to allow the children enough space to safely enter and exit the school bus.
- Please remember these children may be young and excited when exiting. Avoid accidents and BE attentive.
Stone Oak HOA - Security Committee Update
Posted on Jul 2nd, 2022
This is a friendly reminder to please notify Damian Worthy at 567-358-2739 (Sgt. Joe's replacement) or email him at Apexthreatmanagement@gmail.com and the Lucas County Sheriff at 419-213-4941 (non-emergency) before you travel on vacation. They will be able to check on your home while you are gone. When traveling for an extended period of time, consider using a timer or smart plug on interior lights to give the appearance that you are at home. Also, remember to keep your car locked when parked in your driveway or on the street and ask your guests to do the same.
As always, immediately call 911 for any emergencies or if you notice anything suspicious. For non-emergency communications, general security questions and/or comments, feel free to contact the HOA Security Committee at stoneoakpatrol@gmail.com.
Also, please observe the posted speed limit in the neighborhood. We receive constant feedback that vehicles are traveling well over the posted limits, especially on Pine Valley, Augusta Lane and Orchard Lake Road. The Sheriff has offered to post a patrol car in these areas to catch speeders, but we would rather have our homeowners watch their speed rather than escalate to that step. Please remind young drivers as well.
Your cooperation to improve and maintain the safety and security of this wonderful community is greatly appreciated!
