Quail Hollow neighbors and property owners,
A summary as we wrap up a good year:
- Expenses. Our expenses have come in well under budget, which has allowed us to set aside additional savings for the roads and other major maintenance and capital expenses coming up in the near future.
- Dues and rules. We’ve brought past-due accounts and rule violations under control. Thanks for everyone’s cooperation.
- The pool. We bought new cushions for about half of the furniture this year, and will purchase more in Spring, 2018. If we can’t afford to buy all we need, enough of the older cushions are in good-enough shape to last another year, and we’ll buy the rest in 2019.
- The mound behind the pool. The trees and bushes planted in the summer are doing well. The Green Giant arbor vitae will eventually reach 40 feet tall and screen the pool from the condos, but it will be a few years. To cut down on the yearly mulching, the Board decided in November to plant a ground cover on the north (condo) side of the mound. That will be done sometime in the next few months.
- Mulching and weeding. The work days last summer, when we did the mulching and weeding at the entrance, on the mound and in front of the clubhouse, saved a ton of money, but not without complaints. The Board will decide this winter whether or not to do it this way in the spring. Stay tuned.
- The tennis courts. One court has been repaired with the exception of some line painting that will be done on the first warm day. It’s in reasonably good shape. This turned into a larger and more expensive project than anticipated, and the Board is trying to decide what to do with the other court – repair, leave as-is until major refurbishment is done in several years, or convert it to another use. Your input is appreciated.
- Roads. The Board decided in November to pave 2 sections – Quail Hollow Drive from the entrance to Fox Meadow, and Beechwood between Quail Hollow and Meadowview Court. The cost will be slightly less than $50,000. To keep disruption to a minimum, we’ll give you as much notice as possible.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
