Spring 2017 Update from the Country Lane the Board of
Directors:
The Pool:
Rust Mitigation Completed: You
may have notice some activity at the Pool House recently. Not to worry…it was just the final HVAC
improvements being made to assure that our rust issue will not happen again.
Pool Furniture:
The new pool furniture has
arrived. It is quite a departure from
the previous (last 32 years of furniture).
It is pool furniture you might see at a resort…very nice. The chaise lounges have built-in wheels to
make them easier to move. Gone are the
big bulky umbrella tables. They have
been replaced by free standing 9’ umbrellas and square tables with adjustable
legs (no more rock and roll). This will
allow for more flexible placement of umbrellas and tables.
Replacement of the Pool Deck: Starting
March 15th the cement surface within the pool area will be removed
and replaced. The new surface will be
permanently tinted ‘desert tan’ and be stamped in an attractive multi-block
design (except for a two-foot border around the pool and the perimeter of the
pool area which will be a brushed texture).
NOTE: The parking lot will be fenced off with a
temporary chain link fence while the work is be done.
Security Camera System: An
Avertx 16 channel HD IP NVR with 6TB HDD, 8 4MP cameras with a 100’ night
vision capability has been purchased and will be installed prior to opening
day.
Pool Season:
The 2017 Country Lane Pool Season will begin on Saturday of Memorial Day
weekend and continue through Labor Day. Pool
Hours have not yet been finalized but, are tentatively 11:00am – 8:00pm.
Other Items of Interest:
Monthly Assessment Amount is $75: As of January
1, 2016 the Monthly Assessment was
increased to $75.00 per month. Although
the increase took effect over fifteen months ago there are still residents
paying at the old rate. Late Fees accrue
on your account if the balance is not paid in full / current. So, please make
sure that your payment is for the correct amount ($75). Contact Shane to discuss
what you can do to bring your account current. Payment Plans are negotiable
with the HOA Board.
ACC Expanded: During
the past six months the configuration of the Architectural Control Committee
(ACC) has changed. At the Annual
Homeowners Meeting last September, Jessica Holland was elected to the ACC. In November, Dave Neidlinger, the former ACC
Chairperson resigned because he would be moving away from Country Lane. Shortly thereafter, two individuals
volunteered to join the ACC (Deb Herbst, an original homeowner and former ACC
member and Jillian Crandall, a longtime homeowner on E Baker Place). They joined Dianna Hughes to serve Country
Lane on the committee. With Spring just
around the proverbial corner the ACC has the following to share with you:
From the ACC:
