Rip Rap around Ponds:
The rip rap project has been completed!
Projects:
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.
Entranceway Beds:
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.
Rip Rap around Ponds:
Beginning the week of 7/15/19 the perimeter of the ponds will be sprayed to kill the grass and weeds in preparation for installing the rip rap 1-1/2 to 2 weeks later. The lowest, responsive and responsible proposal was determined to be from Landscaping by Terra. Their Better Business Bureau Rating was A+ with 0 complaints in the last 3 years.
Fencing:
As stated at the Homeowner’s Meeting, we have decided to use Trudeau Fencing. We recently received an updated proposal from Trudeau, with the breakdown of the cost by each section of fencing. Once we receive a clarification from Delaware County of where the Right of Way ends we will be in a position to make a final determination on the exact placement of the fencing along S. Old State. Therefore, we should be ready to move forward on the fencing replacement by September.
Entranceway Beds:
We received 3 proposals for design and installation of entranceway beds (Environmental Management, Oak Creek Landscaping and Landscaping by Terra).
EMI provided the most comprehensive proposals for all aspects addressed. Their Better Business Bureau Rating was A+ with 0 complaints in the last 3 years.
The items included in the proposal(s) include the design and plant selection, removal of dead or diseased trees, plant material, and weeds; grinding tree stumps; new knee wall; new monuments (reusing caps and name plates if possible); irrigation and lighting in both beds; and installation of plant material and trees. A total of 35 trees are being replaced in the maintenance easement areas. The removal of trees and clearing of the Entranceway Bed areas started 7/10/19.
