Neighborhood Matching Grant<\/strong>
\nWe have successfully completed our Front Entrance project. The city supplied over $14,000 for us to install water meters, an irrigation system and new lighting. We were not able to apply the reflective material on curbs due to the on-going drainage problems. We hope to do so as soon as those problems are resolved.
\nThanks to the many hands and generosity of in-kind contributors that made this possible.<\/p>\n

Let your voice be heard! Community Amenity Ideas<\/strong>
\nYour HOA board is working on ideas for a community project. We would like to add a community amenity for all to enjoy. We would love to hear your ideas. Some of our thoughts are a playground, picnic area, or walking trail. Please send a quick email to Kim at kimchristenbury@gmail.com<\/a> if you have any ideas. We want this amenity to be valuable to all our homeowners, so please let us know your thoughts!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Doggie Duty<\/strong>
\nWe recognize the need to walk your dogs, but, please be considerate of your neighbors and respectful of our common areas at the entrance. Doggie bags are widely available and inexpensive. Please take the time to clean up after your pups.<\/p>\n

Storm Water Maintenance Project<\/strong>
\nThe city Storm Water team has finished evaluating the drainage problems that have created the flooding behind the exit side monument and the standing water in the road on the entrance side.
\nThe good news is they are finalizing plans to fix the problems and should begin within the next 90 days. The down side is the work will cause disturbance to our traffic flow while they are working. They will be using our right side lawn area to launch and store heavy equipment and must take down many trees behind the monument to access the site. They hope to not disturb the center island but will not know until they get underway. We do not have a start date yet, nor know how long the project will take. We look forward to having the problems resolved so we can continue to beautify our entrance.<\/p>\n
