State Museum. John Brewer will be providing the transportation. Janell will have confirmation within the week
as to the date and time. Stay tune for more details.
Clubhouse Committee:
A deep cleaning of the clubhouse was
done this month. Amazing how much better the carpet looks. We will make a point
of doing an annual carpet cleaning going forward. In addition, we cleaned the
fabric on the chairs, woodwork, blinds, appliances, etc. Our next project is to strip the years of wax
off the linoleum and hopefully restore the floor to its’ original color. Wish
us luck! New rugs were put down at the
entrances to eliminate tripping hazards.
Architecture & Landscaping
Committee: 28 residents chose to have Growing Image (Nature’s
Choice) aerate their yards this month. Some additional yards will be
aerated/over seeded this week. Invoices will be mailed to the home for those
participating.
As weather permits, we will try to
spread out Mr. Sandavol’s mowing/trimming services to every other week. We only have five mows left in the budget for
2018. We would like to keep a reserve in
case it snows before January 1st…Ugh! The high temperatures and humidity in
September has played havoc with the ponds.
Consequently, we received an additional treatment September 18th. Five roofs have been completed with two more
to be done before the end of the year.
We will be preparing the shade garden and entrances for the winter in
October. A special thanks to Joy & John Shew for maintaining the North entrance
area again this year.
Old Business:
New Business:
1. The Board will meet October 13th
with Property Services Group to prepare the 2019 Budget that you will vote on
at the November HOA Meeting.
2.
There was additional discussion on a rental ban policy. Luann Elsbury was adamant that the Committee
expedite an amendment and vote. Sharon
Simmons reinforced the fact that it must be approved by 75% of the residents,
not a simple majority. We discussed the
fact that we have great renters, many of which have been here a long time. We want to encourage renters to participate
in HOA social events. See attached statement from the Rental
Policy Committee.
3. Welcome to Frank & Barbara
Roselli who purchased 8048 & 8052 Crystal Court.
4. Betsy Burdge commented on the south
entrance light pole flickering. We will get the number off the pole and report
it to Duke Energy.
5. The Board has asked Larry Edwards to
get numbers so we can purchase next year’s roofing materials before the end of
the year. With the hurricane, materials
will be scarce and prices are increasing.
6. The Board has asked Larry to line up
a different contractor to repair the public sidewalk in front of the Bank’s
home on Waterford Court. It is a
tripping hazard.
7. We are asking Reese Wholesale for an
estimated timeline for repairing the Gillespie driveway damaged last summer
when roofing materials were delivered.

Rental Ban Committee Report: Protecting Our Community
The Waterford Lakes Community has been
around since 1997 and the leadership continues to monitor activities that will
preserve the value and the well-being of our community. In the next several months, you will learn
more about the efforts to incorporate an amendment to our Covenants addressing
“rentals” both short and long term.
Why
We Want A Rental Policy?
There are two main factors that are driving
the effort to control rentals in our community:
1.
To protect/build property value
2.
To preserve a safe and secure environment
What Are We Working On?
The Board has created a special
committee to work through the various aspects of this process with our first
goal being to present recommendations to the Board and PSG. The second goal is
to communicate the recommended policy to our homeowners and residents. Our ultimate goal is to bring the rental ban
amendment to vote in the 2019.
How Will This Amendment Impact You?
Current owners do not need to worry
about the forthcoming amendment. The
amendment being discussed, will take effect at time of approval with new/future
owners when there is a change of ownership.
We Would Like To Hear from You
Your feedback is important to the
committee. We are planning several ways
to communicate the details and progress of this amendment:
·
Monthly HOA meetings & minutes/newsletters
·
Mass email communications
·
Contact Brandon at PSG (317) 837-9860 to
communicate your thoughts and questions.
·
We are evaluating how best to include updates on
the website (www.psgcondos.com) click on Waterford Lakes.
Share your feedback with committee
members: Steve Cooper, John Shew, Dawn
Lowden, Don Ulrey, Janell Miller, Anne Inman.
