All questions regarding the facility should be directed to the Oaks Club manager at 851-1500. Oakhurst is located next to the Waubonsie Creek park area and Waubonsie Lake, with a path system for walking, biking, or roller blading. Oakhurst is also located near the Fox Valley Park District Eola Community Center and Waubonsie Valley High School. Oakhurst Community Association and Sub-Associations All homeowners of Oakhurst are members of the Oakhurst Community Association (OCA). A Board of Directors, consisting of seven residents, governs the Association, each elected to a two-year term. The Board consists of four directors from single-family neighborhoods and three directors from multi-family neighborhoods. The Association holds a monthly open Board of Directors meeting at the Oaks Recreation Club clubhouse on the third Monday of the month. The meetings typically begin at 7 p.m. All residents are welcome, and encouraged, to attend. The meeting includes an open portion at the beginning and end of the meeting, where residents and neighborhood representatives can ask questions or raise issues to the Board. The meeting also includes a business portion, where the Board executes required business. The Board also holds a monthly open Communications meeting at the Oaks Recreation Club clubhouse on the first Tuesday of the month to discuss issues on the agenda for the upcoming Board meeting. At the end of the Communications meeting is an Executive meeting, where matters relating to residential fines and past due assessments are discussed. The Board issues a general information letter at least twice a year to disseminate information to residents. Rules and Regulations All buyers of homes within Oakhurst are bound by the governing documents of the Association that include the Declarations of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R), By-Laws, Rules & Regulations and Architectural Guidelines. When you purchased your home, copies of these documents should have been provided to you by the previous owner. For your convenience, you may read and/or download these documents from this web site. In order for the various committees to perform their respective functions, standards have been established. These standards provide the committee members guidance in implementing the requirements of the CC&R and to ensure all residents are treated fairly. Since Oakhurst is located within the city limits of Aurora, all city rules and regulations apply to the residents of Oakhurst. These rules and regulations can be found by calling the City of Aurora at 892-8811 or by visiting the City of Aurora’s Code of Ordinances. Neighborhood Representatives Volunteer neighborhood representatives represent homeowners at OCA meetings. A committee of neighborhood representatives represents each single-family neighborhood. Each of the Townhouse neighborhoods has a sub-association that is separate from the master association, OCA. Single-family neighborhood representative committees consist of three residents, except Inverness, which consists of five. Townhouse neighborhoods are represented by one person, generally an officer of the sub-association. Apartment residents are represented by an apartment manager. Neighborhood representatives are the voting members for each neighborhood, for the election of directors, and for other issues for which voting is required. They are provided with information on Board activities and other details regarding the subdivision. They interface with residents in their respective neighborhoods to provide assistance where needed. They also interface with the Board on behalf of the residents of their neighborhood to provide a communication link to the Board, and provide input to the Board on issues that arise in their neighborhood. Committees OCA includes committees that perform essential functions in support of operation of the subdivision and implementation of the CC&R. These committees are: Architectural Review, Recreation, Internet, Welcome and Traffic. The Architectural Review Committee, with assistance from the property manager, processes all modification requests. This includes advising a resident of specific regulations, and reviewing/approving a submitted form. The Compliance Committee ensures that the rules and regulations of Oakhurst are enforced. Among its duties are to hold resident hearings. The Recreation Committee is responsible for coordinating and scheduling recreational activities - such as soccer, tennis and t-ball - at Oakhurst Community Park. The Internet Committee works with the Board on matters relating to this Association web site. Among its duties are recommendations on developing the site for optimal resident communications, and marketing. The Welcome Committee distributes packets of information to new residents and works to make new residents feel at home in our community. The Traffic Committee will seek input from residents regarding traffic concerns within and around the Oakhurst neighborhood. Committee membership is encouraged for all residents. Getting involved is one way to ensure the subdivision is operated and maintained well. If you are interested in joining a committee, please send us an e-mail.
