1.  RESIDENT OWNER AND NON-RESIDENT OWNER PARKING PERMIT RENEWAL (STICKERS AND HANG TAGS); LAST CHANCE PICKUP; TUESDAY; APRIL 30, 2024; 6:00 PM SHARP; POOL.  For those who submitted your paperwork but have not picked up your passes, there will be one last pickup window for you to receive your passes.  All people needing to bring additional information please bring it with you to the pickup.  If you are unsure then bring your registrations just in case.  To Everyone Applicable – all current permits MUST be removed from your vehicle(s) and replaced with the new permits by May 1, 2024.  Starting May 1, 2024; all vehicles with the permits expiring on 30 April (blue tags) are subject to towing/removal. 

2.  POOL SEASON, 2024; POOL PASS APPLICATIONS DUE NO LATER THAN TUESDAY; APRIL 30, 2024.  The pool pass application deadline is TWO DAYS AWAY.  If you have not submitted your application please do so in the next two days.  If you miss the deadline you will not have your passes for the beginning of the season.  For those who have submitted their applications by April 30th, the following distribution windows will be available to you.  #1 – Saturday; May 11, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.  #2 – Sunday; May 19, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.  #3 – Saturday ; May 25, 2024; from 10:00 AM to 10:45 AM.  You may wait if you come to the third distribution window as we are usually quite busy sorting out final details before the pool opening at that time.  For those who submit their application after April 30th, and for those who submitted their applications but did not get their passes at one of the distribution windows mentioned previously, the next distribution will occur on Wednesday; May 29, 2024; from 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM.  The Pool Application link is listed above and it may also be found on our website.  If you have any interest in helping with this process please contact the Pool Committee.

4 BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING; TUESDAY; MAY 21, 2024; 7:00 PM; VIRTUAL.  The monthly board meeting will be conducted via the RingCentral virtual meeting framework. For the virtual meeting information, see the link listed above in the Permanent Links section.  Scroll down the the Meeting Materials and Minutes section, select the year (2024), then the meeting (20240521). Document #01-1 contains the information to join the meeting.

5.  POOL SEASON, 2024; OPENING DAY; SATURDAY; MAY 25, 2024; 11:00 AM.  We are almost at our new season!  Pool entry will be conducted through SignUpGenius at the start of the season.  We are planning to move to a different sign-in system during the season.  This system will provide you the capability to sign-in and sign-out via your phone and should be much more efficient than our current process.  More information to follow but we plan on having the new system active before July 4th for all pool pass holders.  There will be some additional steps you will need to take and some new information requirements but we believe this will be a positive step for all of us to enjoy our pool.

6.  RETAINING WALL REPLACEMENT AND FOOTPATH REPLACEMENT; MAY OR JUNE 2024.  After months of planning, we are about to undertake the replacement of our last wood retaining wall.  This wall, located at the main storm water basin to the rear of 4827 Carriagepark Road, has been failing for several years and is in imminent need of replacement before a physical failure occurs.  The project will replace the retaining wall with a concrete wall while also replacing the existing asphalt footpath with a concrete sidewalk.  The existing railings will be modified as needed and reused.  This project will take around two weeks and the footpath will be closed to traffic during the project.  Please adhere to all signs and directions provided during the duration of the project.

7.  ASPHALT CRACK-FILL, SPECIFIC PARKING SPACE SIGNAGE, AND YELLOW AND WHITE CURB MARKING; MAY OR JUNE 2024.  We will be accomplishing crack-fill of the asphalt in the drive lanes and in parking spaces where available and painting some parking spaces whose numbers have worn off or the incorrect numbers applied to the space.  We will also repaint the yellow and white curbs during this project.  Some curb spaces and parking spaces will be impacted by this work.  The specific residences and parking spaces impacted will be notified of the specifics as we near the timeframe to accomplish the work.  The crack-fill and painting project is anticipated to be less than two days of impact to you.

8.  PLAYGROUND SAFETY SURFACE RENEWAL.  We completed our safety surface renewal at the playground last week.  This is a annual maintenance action that brings the surface back to the specified depths for our equipment.  It also provides a note of color to the surface as an added benefit.

9.  PWCA COMMUNITY CLEANUP DAY; REVIEW.  Thank you to those who participated in our Earth Day 2024 Spring Cleanup Day.  We wound up filling two 94-gallon containers with trash and debris collected from our naturalized areas.

10.  ACC SPRING 2024 HOME INSPECTION; REVIEW.  Thank you to the few individuals who showed up on Saturday for the inspection.  While the weather wasn’t great we at least enjoyed some coffee and donuts!  Inspections will be continuing throughout this week on various parts of our community.  If you would like to help please contact the ACC to coordinate your participation.

11.  INDIVIDUAL GROUNDS CARE OFFER FROM J&J LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT, APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  Our grounds care contractor is again offering residences in our community the ability to have your private yards maintained.  The care options include turf care, lawn care, and leaf removal.  Please refer to the link listed above in the Seasonal Links section, just scroll down the page to the applicable information, or contact myself if you cannot access the information.

12.  GROUNDS CARE REMINDERS.  As a reminder, please keep the following items in mind during the growing season. #1 – keep your vehicle bumpers off the curb during mowing days as the crew cannot mow, edge or trim (as appropriate) when your vehicle is parked on top of the turf. #2 – For those of you who have landscaped up to the sidewalk – you are responsible to keep the sidewalk edge nearest your residence clean if the edger cannot be operated safely. #3 – Keep all items stored inside your fence / or your property for those without rear fences. See the ACC and ECC Rules for additional information.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend, have a great week!

Regards,

Mark
