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.
Thank you for your assistance in helping maintain Stone Oak in a first-class condition.

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!

With the Spring finally upon us, many homeowners will be considering doing some exterior work on their properties. As a reminder, all exterior changes must be reviewed and approved by the Stone Oak HOA Architectural Control Committee (ACC) prior to beginning any work. The ACC is made up of Stone Oak residents. It protects property values by insuring that new construction and exterior modifications meet the community's standards. New homes and changes to homes, decks, docks, fences, etc. must have ACC approval. Examples of work that require ACC approval include, but are not limited to: window replacement, siding replacement (vinyl is not permitted), painting, roof replacement, deck replacement or new construction, retaining wall, dock replacement or new construction, fence replacement or new fences, landscaping modifications including tree removals, swimming pool or hot tub installation - ABOVE GROUND POOLS are NOT permitted, basketball pole installation.
The ACC request form is available on the Stone Oak website at www.stoneoak-community.com. Go to the Architectural Control Form on the left side, downloadable on the website. Once the form is completed in full, it can be sent in several ways.
The form can be sent by:
1. Email to Erin Osstifin, Stone Oak HOA Property Manager, at eosstifin@metrotoledohomes.com
2. Fax (include a cover sheet with your name on it) to 419-794-1540.
3. Mail or drop off at: 1911 Indian Wood Circle, Suite B, Maumee, Ohio 43537
Once the form is received the ACC will review it and determine if additional information is required and the homeowner will be notified to submit any additional information. The ACC will complete a thorough review of the request. Once the comprehensive review is completed, the homeowner will receive a letter of notification from the ACC in the mail with either an approval or denial of the work requested. Please be advised that work must not begin until you have received written approval from the ACC. We appreciate the cooperation of all homeowners on this HOA policy so that the community continues to look first-class!. If additional information is needed, please contact Erin Osstifin, GRI, Stone Oak HOA Property Manager.
Stone Oak HOA Board Decision on School-Related Signs Only
Posted on Mar 23rd, 2022
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.
