2012 Fall Newsletter
Dear Wood Creek Townhome Owners and Residents,
Summer has given way to fall and cooler temperatures and we thought it high time for a Wood Creek update.
In June, we had our annual termite inspection. All buildings were inspected and with the exception of one possible past infestation noted and immediately treated (just to be safe). No active termites were found. Thank you to management for coordinating this and thank you to residents for helping this year’s inspection to go so quickly and smoothly.
In July and August, with help from one of our very own board members, we added brick trim and an assortment of perennials to both Wood Creek signs.
Also in July and August, maintenance began burying downspouts. This project was somewhat curtailed by the unrelenting heat which made the ground difficult to work with. Instead, focus was shifted to repairing hand railings, trimming trees and general maintenance. This brings us to an important request. We encourage you to please water along your foundations during extended periods of hot weather. Dry, cracked earth contracts, causing foundations to shift and if the ground is not consistently watered and suddenly lots of water in the form of heavy rain occurs, the ground suddenly expands causing soil to shift abruptly resulting in damage similar to what we saw earlier this year to building 20. If we all do our part, we can avoid the expense of bracing shifting foundations.
In other not so fun news, Wood Creek experienced vandalism of its signs and bus stop enclosures in August. The signs and bus stops were quickly repainted, but after consideration by the board it was decided that due to limited use by residents and the temptation for vandalism, the bus stop enclosures would be removed. If you have any suggestions for what (if anything) you’d like to see in their places, please contact management and the board with your suggestions. Likewise, we encourage all residents to report any suspicious activity to the police immediately. Help keep our neighborhood safe, secure and beautiful.
Last but not least, the ANNUAL TOWNHOME BUDGET MEETING to determine the budget for 2013 will be held Tuesday November 20, 2012 at the office beginning at 7:00pm. Management will be in attendance and assist in answering your questions and making recommendations for the year ahead. If you plan on attending, we ask that you please RSVP by contacting management so we have enough chairs for everyone.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Wood Creek
