Hello Neighbors!,
Where has the time gone? I cannot believe that Summer is over and Fall is upon us! With the change of the season brings changes in our neighborhood, too! I’m highlighting a few things I want to bring to your attention – some of which I need your help with!
Annual Meeting. The ALHOA Annual Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10th at 7pm in the cafeteria of Amy Beverland Elementary. Please plan to attend, or if you cannot attend, please submit your proxy so we can elect a board of directors for 2010. The following neighbors have agreed to be and have been slated (in alphabetical order): Amy Bilyeu, Bill Charlton, Jon Houck, Kelly Hubbard, Jabe Johnson, Jo Carol Kimery, Steve King, Rick Kissling & Steve Nagy.
Covenants. The Covenants have been updated by a committee of your neighbors, reviewed and updated by our management company and by an attorney. Look for the revised covenants in your mailbox soon. Please review them and send me an email if there are any additional changes you believe we should include. We plan to vote on the revised covenants at our annual meeting – yet another reason for you to attend our annual meeting or send your proxy!
Front Entrance. We are making some changes and improvements to the safety of our front entrance. Over the course of the next few weeks, a great deal of work will take place to install a new light on the brick column, and, related to this, remove and replace trees and other landscaping in the center island. A hearty thanks to Steve King & Jon Houck for the heavy lifting with this project. Additionally, our Grounds Chair, Jabe Johnson, has worked with the City of Lawrence to repair the street in our front entrance, which has begun to deteriorate significantly. Thanks Jabe!
Fall Trees & Leaves. Many of us (including my home) recently received a notice of covenant violation regarding trees in the right-of-way that need trimmed. If you do not want to trim the trees yourself, our Grounds Chair, Jabe Johnson, is working to get some “neighborhood rates” from a few tree service companies. Jabe will share that information via ALHOA email and post it on the website so that we can take advantage of these rates. Also, as the leaves come down, please do your best to get the leaves raked and bagged so they do not blow into your neighbors’ yards or clog any street drains.
Exterior Home Improvements. Please submit an architectural review form prior to initiating any exterior work on your home (e.g. painting, new windows, etc.) And, please report any concerns you may have about any neighborhood properties to Kirkpatrick Management Company. They are helping us keep our neighborhood looking good and helping us make it look even better which helps keep property values up.
Social. Mark your calendars for our annual Neighborhood Fall Fest – Sunday, October 25th (see details in newsletter). The kids will parade the neighborhood in costume and end in the Admirals Cove cul-de-sac where we all gather for food, games and fun. Your next mix-n-mingle opportunity will be our Holiday Mixer. Please share any new ideas for social get-togethers with our social chair, Kelly Hubbard. Also, please let our social chair know if someone new has moved in near you – we want to be sure and welcome them to the neighborhood.
Thanks for what you do to help make Admirals Landing a great place to call home. If you are interested in doing more or if there are items of concern, please contact me so that we can work to resolve them. I can be reached at amy.bilyeu@comcast.net or 826-4711 (home) or 590-2402 cell.
I look forward to seeing you at our Annual Meeting!
Sincerely,
Amy Bilyeu
