Hello Brookside,
Well, we have made it to the home stretch and our neighborhood looks fantastic! Thank you all for your patience and cooperation as we could not have done this otherwise.
This has been a giant project, from the drainage to the paving. By the end of next week Inter County will be finished and off property entirely!
Outdoor Spigot Units: Now that the work is completed, please TURN OFF the spigot to the outside water.
The doors to Dumpster areas will be reinstalled - please be mindful that not everything you want to throw away belongs in the dumpster area.
Striping of the tennis and the basketball courts will be done in the spring, and the tennis net will be installed as well. In the meantime, these areas can be used for play.
Speed Bumps will be going in after the winter. They will be better placed than they previously were. We did look into removable ones but they leave holes in the blacktop which leaves an opening for water and shortens the lifespan of the road.
Many may have noticed that some of the Homeowners have re-finished their porches. Please DO NOT do any further painting or staining as The Board has decided that we will be painting/staining/replacing the decks and porches in 2018.
Curbs are going to be repainted yellow - There is NO PARKING in yellow areas. Cars will be towed and stickered.
Personal items are not allowed to be stored on any common elements. Any items that are stored or left in the common areas are subject to being removed and discarded without notice as per our rules & regulations. PLEASE NOTE - this includes items left on the tennis & basketball courts.
Please note that our new dog run will be officially opened in the Spring. Until that time the gate will be locked. We need to make sure that we do our due diligence with regards to rules and confirm that all dogs are licensed and up to date with their vaccines. This is for the safety of everyone.
As of January 1st, 2018, Brookside is instituting a Reserve Contribution for new owners - it will consist of 1 month’s common charge that will be deposited into the reserve fund at the time of purchase.
Again, thank you for your patience and cooperation!
The Brookside Board
