As many of you can see, construction has begun on 11264. The house is a Como and will be light green in color with white trim and a dark gray slate roof. The house is planned to be owner occupied by the builder.

On a somewhat happier note, 11213 has been sold. This house was foreclosed upon in February. While we lost over $2600 on this home, we are hoping to recover the past HOA dues and Special Assessment that occured after foreclosure.

Unfortunately during the foreclosure process, our superlien was missed by the closing title company, so that will now take us longer to collect our dues.

Foreclosures

I’m saddened to report that we have two more homes that are in the final stages of foreclosure in our neighborhood. The final redemption date for one is June 20 and the other is in mid-July.

As we’ve been used to in the past, both of these homes are severly behind on their HOA dues and neither has paid their special assessment. If these houses do not sell before the final foreclosure dates, the HOA will not be able to recover either item, which will result in a loss of approximately $2600, or just more than 10% of our annual budget.

Update on Fence Painting

June 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment

The Board has solicited bids for fence painting. As we discussed at last year’s Annual Meeting, we will focus this year on the crossbuck in the park and the short 4′ fence along Decatur Street. We’ve received two bids for the project. Each bid the portion seperately (i.e. cross buck and then 4′ fence).

When looking at both bids, one vendor was less for the crossbuck and the other was less for the 4′ fence. By splitting the work between two vendors, we will save $500. We will have the fence power washed prior to painting to clean any debris and also make sure we have good ahesion of the stain. Any minor repairs will be made as they go.

We are currently awaiting start dates from both vendors. We hope the project can begin before the end of June. The HOA will be painting BOTH sides of the fence it is responsible for. We will let those affected know about painting dates as soon as we do, as the painter’s will need access to your yards.
