Mail Boxes

In April of 1996, Sherr Development sent a memo to all Nowland Estate Homeowners regarding the proper location of mail boxes according to the U.S. Postal Service. Please review the attached diagrams to be sure your mail box is in its proper location.

The committee members did a "walk-through" of our subdivision and found a half-dozen dead trees in the common areas. Estimates to cut the trees and remove the stumps were received. Two more estimates will be requested. The company with the lowest bid will be contracted to do the work. T he committee will be sending violation letters to eleven homeowners within the next few weeks. Homeowners will be given 5 business days to respond (in writing) if they feel the violation is not just. Otherwise, they will have 30 days to correct the problem.

A company has been contracted to fertilize the common areas (six applications) at a cost of $300. Other quotes received ranged from $475 to $600 for fewer applications. The grass, after only one application, is looking much better. The lawn service contract has been changed -- the grass in the pon d area on Valentine Court will be cut every week (or every 10 days if it gets dry). The sprinkler system was turned on May 9^th. Three sprinkler head s needed to be fixed at the Palmer Road entrance. The common areas will be mulched by mid-June. Flowers will be planted as well, with concentration more on th e Palmer Road entrance.

All homeowners are asked NOT to bother contractors that have been hired to maintain the common areas of our subdivision. If a problem should arise, please contact the appropriate board member responsible for the service being provided.

All homeowners have paid their 1998 Association Dues.

Absenteeism of Board members will be addressed at the next Board meeting.
