Clubhouse
Committee: We have completed this year’s refreshing of
the clubhouse. In addition to the new paint, new artwork was donated and
volunteers installed chair rails to protect the walls. What a difference this has made! A special
thankyou to Caroline King, Brandon Henton, Larry Edwards, Dave Jones, Dave
Miller, Randy Simmons, Dave Richardson, Don Ulrey, Maggie Jones and Anne Inman
who contributed time and resources to the clubhouse face lift.
We want to also thank our new residents
Renee, Tim and Bailey Cookerly for donating the smooth top range.
We hope
you will be encouraged to use the clubhouse for family get-togethers. Residents can rent the clubhouse for $50 with
a refundable $75 security deposit. We greatly
appreciate the cleaning job residents are doing when they finish using the
facility.

changes to the directory. Contact Anne
Inman (317-504-9268) for last minute changes.

Special thankyou to Peggy Burke for updating the directory.
3.
Architecture
& Landscaping Committee: Mr.
Sandavol will be in the neighborhood doing some special projects this
week. There are about 30 properties that
have wild mulberries taking root in their flower beds, along the back and sides
of the building. Growing Image did a
special spot treatment of weeds growing along the sidewalks and driveways this
week. The Board is discussing the pro’s
and con’s of adding a 5th treatment.
The stumps of the trees taken down throughout the neighborhood will be
taken out soon. We will seed these areas
in early September.
The
question came up as to what trees are recommended to plant. Good options include the Cleveland pear tree,
locust, red bud, red maples and Japanese maples. Stay away from Bradford pears,
birch trees, ash, soft maples, pin oaks and crab apples. Planting of new trees requires approval of
the architecture and landscaping committee.
Old
Business:
The Book Box will be installed by the backdoor of the
clubhouse this week. You may borrow or donate books. Thanks to Dawn Lowden for
donating this to the Community.
New
Business:
It was brought to our attention that a few are not
picking up after their dogs. This is
just a reminder since our residents have always done a good job in this area.
The Board will be discussing the possibility of a
rental policy to deter investors from buying up homes to use as rental property. Right now we have 11 rental units. Currently there are no guidelines in the
Covenants regarding number of rental units.
Dawn Lowden explained many Hendricks County communities are putting in
rental restrictions which will steer investors to communities like ours who
have none. The Board is doing their
homework and will present options for future discussion. To amend the Covenants,
it would require approval by 75% of our residents (after 20 yrs.). Current rentals would be grandfathered.
