Frisco Heights Board of Directors

June 2023

Dear Neighbor,

It has come to our aten�on that many homeowners in Frisco Heights are concerned about the number
and condi�on of leased homes in our community. Currently 101 of the 343 homes in the neighborhood
are leased, or in other terms, 30% of our communi�es’ homes. That is the cap adopted by the
community in July of 2018.

At your request, your elected board members have been working with our Associa�on lawyer to amend
the Rules and Regula�ons Governing Leasing and Rental Proper�es. To reduce the number of leased
homes and/or rentals and officially amend the Rules and Regula�ons Governing Leasing and Rental
Proper�es you must vote to accept or reject the proposed changes. If enough votes are not received to
approve the amendment, the exis�ng rules and restric�ons will remain in effect and the number of
rental proper�es will likely grow larger.

To vote, click on the DocuSign link in the email received and follow the DocuSign instruc�ons.

Those that do not have an email will have an op�on to go to the Frisco Heights Community website
(htp://friscoheights.frontsteps.com/) and download the amendment details, fill out the ballot, and
return to 4Sight either by email or US Mail. Email: HOAinforma�[email protected] or US Mail: 4Sight
Property Management, 4760 Preston Rd. Suite 244-238, Frisco, TX 75034.

Thank you for your �me and aten�on to this important Amendment.

Sincerely,

Eric Dagley, Virginia Mendlik, Kerry Hall

Frisco Heights Board of Directors
