At the recent annual HOA meeting, the subject of the status of our long fence leading into our HOA along 12^th Drive SE from 183^rd came up. The fence had developed a few small gaps and other maintenance needs. Eddie and Ted of your HOA Board stepped up to make some repairs recently.

The repairs involved three spots where a panel segment had separated at the top of a post. After acquiring permission from a homeowner on the east side of fence to gain access to make the repairs, the repair work was completed. In addition near the south end of the fence, a large tree branch that had displaced the fence was removed, permitting that last fence segment to be reattached to a post.

Your Help Wanted – In the near future, a small team of HOA homeowners will be needed to help trim away ivy that is poking through the fence and impacting the fence’s integrity. In addition, landscaping bark on the lower end of 12^th Drive along the fence needs to be pulled away from the fence line to near the edge of the grass where more bark is needed. If you would like to help on an upcoming Saturday morning, contact Eddie at eddie.lawski@gmail.com and/or Ted at tornadoted@comcast.net. Probably a team of six people could get these tasks done in a few hours.

The fence is showing signs that it will need to be replaced in a few years. Yet efforts to extend its longevity will help keep our HOA looking nice, hold our property values up, and keep HOA maintenance costs down. Thank you!
