2021 was a relatively quiet year for our community. Because there were no new projects and few unexpected expenses, we were able to keep our expenses within budget. Therefore, the annual assessment will remain $165.00 for 2022.
In 2021, 4 remaining Japanese Maple trees were planted in the S. Old State entranceway beds, finally completing the project. The trees in perimeter easements and courts were edged and mulched in 2021. Otherwise, maintenance was kept to a minimum.
For 2022, other than the regular landscape and pond maintenance, the fencing will be power washed and the Pin Oak trees will be pruned so branches do no protrude through the fencing.
The HOA has been approached by a few residents about solar panels. Currently the Deed Restrictions do not allow for the installation of Solar panels. However, we are forming a committee to research what is necessary to allow for the installation. Ultimately, specifications need to be developed and approved by 60% of the 384 homeowners. Anyone interested in participating on the committee, please contact Gloria at gagaskey@sbcglobal.net, and she will put you in touch with the chairman of that committee. Updates will follow.
On behalf of all of us, Gloria, Nelson, Rosalind, Randy, and Brian, we thank you for your support and sincerely wish you and yours a safe, prosperous and Happy 2022!
Respectfully,
Your Trustees

October 1, 2021Dear Residents of Oak Creek Association, Inc.
The Trustees understand the frustration of those who want children to go trick-or-treating on Halloween, October 31, rather than days earlier. However, it is an Orange Township decision when Trick or Treat Night is. Orange Township decided in 2014 to follow the guidelines of the Mid Ohio Regional Planning Commission in choosing the date. Since we are part of Orange Township, we will follow their decision. If residents want a change to be made, they need to petition the Orange Township Trustees.
Please understand that the police and fire trucks will be out on 10/28/21 for the safety of our little ghosts and goblins. All vehicles in the area (especially those who cut through our neighborhood) will be more mindful and careful on 10/28. Not only is it inappropriate for us not to follow the decision of the Township, it would be less safe for our children. They will have fun whatever the day.
Respectfully,
Your Trustees
