OCTOBER Board Report October 20, 2023
Well, finally the time has arrived to begin long-awaited projects. Work was completed for all new larger
guƩers for all residents on Walnut View. The Board will approve additional streets for 2024. Of the two
decks approved for replacement, work began on one this week and the other is scheduled for next week.
There will be two concrete contractors in the neighborhood beginning next week working on driveways,
curbs, sidewalks, paƟos, front porches, parking pads, etc. Also, some brickwork repairs will begin the
week of October 30th.
The Board conducted a full neighborhood walk-through last evening to observe potential projects for
2024. These were noted and accumulated for future meeƟngs. We are also working with Towne
ProperƟes to increase the number of contractors to avoid the delays we had this year. The Board has
been working hard to control costs where possible in 2023 and budgeted for 2024 to achieve no increase
at all in the Crest for 2024 fees. An announcement will be sent out soon!
One of the great things about this neighborhood is the ability to enjoy a healthy walk with your family
and certainly many include their dogs on a walk. The dog stations have certainly contributed to making
the walks more enjoyable. However, there have been several complaints over the past 6 weeks or so
that affect the safety of those walks. The incidents have involved dogs being loose in the street or
sidewalk. One where a large dog nearly attacked a smaller dog, and their owner was reported. It is
imperaƟve that your dog be controlled and not endanger others. We are confident these incidents will
no longer happen and no future violations will exist.
The current Board Members Terry Skiba, Terry Dean, Julia Wallner, Joyce Oehler, and Dave Hildeman
would love to have a couple more Board Members if you would like to join. We are a very dedicated and
fun group to work with and it would also be great if a new member had experience in construction work
as well as work on improving the neighborhood. There are many other ways to contribute as well.
As the Holidays approach or significant birthdays or family parties need to be scheduled, remember the
Clubhouse if a very low-cost way to host a large gathering. There continue to be many requests, so
don’t wait too long to get yours in. For more details, please go to the website for additional
information.
The next monthly Board meeting is scheduled for November 15th. Always remember that you can
address the Board for 3-5 minutes before the meeting starts for issues that could not be resolved
through complaints or improvement applications, to name a few reasons. For this and any issues in the
community that you would like to have the board address, please submit it through the “Contact Us”
page at www.ReserveofTurpin.com. In all probability, you will receive a response from a board member
within 48 hours.
As always, it is very important to read the HOA rules and regulations, especially regarding the improvement
applications. This information can be found on the ARB/Landscape page and the FAQ page on our
website. Please review the reasons for an improvement application and do not make the improvement
unƟl the Board approves. The approval usually takes place at the next monthly Board MeeƟng.
