Concerns

We have had several residents express concerns to us as the board. We thought we would take a chance to address some of those concerns.

As you know, park 2 is still lacking play ground equipment. Unfortunately that is something M&D development is in charge of providing. They have promised us that "it should be here in a week or two" for at least a year. We have contacted them frequently concerning it, with the same response. We have discussed legal action, but feel that if we took that route it would cause nothing to get done. The city holds bond money that M&D can only claim once they have finished their commitments to this subdivision, so we do have some leverage to get them to finish the tasks they promised us. Unfortunately, there is not very much we can do to make them do it now.

We have recently started ticketing cars that violate our parking rules. This has encouraged many residents to pay attention to where their cars are. As always, some residents insist on continuing to break the rules, and we will be towing or booting their cars if it persists.

As you may have noticed, the grass in the parks has had a rough summer. For the past two summers we have been using culinary water to water our parks. North Logan City has been kind in letting us do this while we seeded our parks. However, this year we have had to switch to canal water. We had to wait to start watering until we got the pump house working and there was water in the canal. When we finally got things ready we discovered that the larger park was not communicating with the pump house, and was not being watered. Also, after the pipe break last year most of the sprinklers had rocks blocking the flow of water. Members of the board spent a lot of time on the phone and out in the park getting the problem fixed. Even after all that work, the sprinklers still weren't communicating well with the pump house. So, we had to start all over again. We have put a lot of time and effort into getting the pump house and sprinklers working correctly. Obviously, we haven't worked all the kinks out of the system yet, but we are still working on it.


Thankfully, there is some progress happening this summer in the neighborhood. We are currently negotiating for landscaping for the common area in the back of the subdivision. We are expecting the fence along 400 East on the North end to be fixed soon. We have contacted the city regarding street signs for phase two of the subdivision, enabling emergency crews to quickly find an address, and also helping guests to find their way around. We are also talking to the city about speed limit signs, to help ensure the safety of our community. We have also gotten picnic tables and garbage cans in park 1, and will soon have them in park 2.
