Electricity Restored
Irrigation Repair Update
Electricity Restored
Collins Electric repaired electrical lines along the Interlachen Pkwy walkway that were damaged during last summer's Woodbury Water Treatment Project. Electricity has been restored to all three monuments and the Highland Blvd median. And we have new, more efficient lights at the monuments. The Interlachen Blvd. median sprinkler controller is now wireless, which eliminated the expense of boring under the street to repair the broken electric connection.
Irrigation Repair Update
Irrigation Repair Update
A new, more efficient irrigation system has been installed along Interlachen Pkwy. Irrigation lines were damaged during last summer's Woodbury Water Treatment Project dig. The HOA is awaiting approval of a grant for the City's Water Efficiency Incentive Program with hopes of offsetting irrigation repair costs.
No flowers have been planted at the small monuments or Highland Blvd. median because of the of the electrical & irrigation work. Only the large monument has been planted for this year.
Annual Assessments & Collections Actions
2026 annual assessment invoices should were due July 1.
Annual Assessment Stats
2025 = 95.3% as of 5/15/2026
- 2024 = 93% as of 4/8/2025
Special Assessment Stats
- 95.8% Lots paid as of 5/15/2026
Collections Actions
The Board is moving forward with collections against six Lots that meet the requirements for such action, per the HVHA Collections Policy.
Mailbox Post Landscape
Numerous Lots had their landscape material removed during the process of eliminating mailbox posts and installing the new posts.
The mailbox contract did not include any landscape repair. Since this is the first time a project like this has been attempted by our HOA, the Board didn't anticipate that many of the new posts would not have their original landscape material replaced. Lot owners for each mailbox group are responsible for replacing any missing landscape materials around their mailbox posts.
Mailbox Project
THANK YOU to to our Highland Village neighbors for your support of our mailbox project. If you have issues with your mailbox or post CONTACT THE ASSOCIATION. Homeowner changes to mailboxes or posts will invalidate the contractor's material and workmanship warranty.
Final Costs
The final invoice has been paid but homeowners will be billed for the metal toppers ($11 per Lot), with the 2026 assessment. This cost was unknown when Special Assessment invoices were mailed.
Exterior Changes May Require Pre-approval
Changes to your house or Lot may require PRE-APPROVAL, as required in our covenants & architectural guidelines. BEFORE you sign contracts for exterior changes to your property, contact the
Association. The HOA has 30 days from receipt of your properly executed Architectural Approval Application to approve or deny your application. These forms in the Downloads section of the HVHA Docs & Forms page.
SOLAR PROJECTS: The HOA has up to 60-days to approve solar installations once a properly execute application is received, per Minnesota statute. Contact the Association BEFORE starting a solar project. Your solar installer may contact the HOA for info but the owner must sign and submit the application.
