It is getting harder to imagine what spring is going to look like as the snow continues to fall and the temperatures remain very cold. While it may look beautiful at times in the trees, the cost of the snow removal has become very costly, exceeding the budgeted amount for the entire year by $30-40,000. While the Board will do everything possible to control expenses, the extra cost will have an impact both on infrastructure projects in 2025 and fees for 2026. The decisions may be difficult at times with the snow, but the emphasis must be on residents’ safety.
The Board voted in favor of a new updated Handbook which will be posted on Town Square next week for your review. It will include all the rules and regulations including the new resolutions just passed. A special thank you to Jeff Zalar of the Board as well as others for making it happen. The most important goal of the Board is a very consistent application of the Handbook going forward.
Once the weather improves, you may see a Board Member in front of or behind your residence in the Crest evaluating possible reserve projects for concrete, decks and road repaving. The gutters on Cardinal Hill are complete and painting should happen in the April/May timeframe.
For those that drive up Covey Run, it is very evident of a major landscaping project replacing worn bushes with evergreen trees. It looks fantastic and thanks to Terry Dean, our Board Member in charge of landscaping for making it happen.
There will be major improvements to the kitchen area in the Clubhouse possibly as early as April. We will provide pictures in Town Square once the project is completed. It is an exceptional facility for parties and important get togethers at a very low cost. Please consider the Clubhouse for your next event.
You will be receiving proxies soon for the upcoming Annual Meeting at the Clubhouse on March 19th. Please return as soon as possible so that we have the required number of proxies to hold the meeting. There will be a lot of good information there about 2025 projects and goals for the Board.
There continues to be several residents taking advantage of the opportunity to make Alta Fiber their internet and or cable choice. As you will see, the cables they are running are marked with yellow tape until they are buried under the ground before the first grass cutting by Ground Systems.
