Security: The bad guys must have been elsewhere in May, as there were no reported break-ins or vandalism. Please make sure your car remains locked at all time and report to the constable’s office if you will be on vacation. Continue to report suspicious persons, vehicles, or other activity to the Constable’s office. We will continue to enforce traffic laws, particularly along the TC Jester corridor as Precinct 4 makes changes. Speed limits will remain unchanged in our neighborhood. Please be extra careful, keeping a close eye out for pedestrians, now that school is out.

Pool/Clubhouse: Pool registration has gone well this year and we are off to a great start for the swimming season. Pool furniture has been improved, and the pool looks great. The clubhouse is getting regular use and continues to be well-maintained. We thank Dianne Moynihan for managing the pool and Maria Carra for managing the clubhouse.

Management: We will be adding shrubbery to the west side of TC Jester between Springton and Glenmere. Irrigation has already been installed in preparation for this. We anticipate a more attractive look to the neighborhood for the many people who see it from this corridor.

Architectural Review and Deed Restrictions: Another 13 ARC requests were submitted in May. Repairs/remodeling

applications have been submitted for basketball goals, fence replacement, driveway gate, patio cover, painting, play structures, pool, and sidewalk. All these events that affect the appearance of your home—and thus our neighborhood—need to be approved. We appreciate all of you who have followed our deed restrictions. Many thanks to Adam Yauk who helps administer this program. Adam reports that houses in our

subdivision are selling much faster than those in other neighboring subdivisions, influenced strongly by our park, pool, tennis courts and general appearance of the neighborhood. Thanks very much for your attention to making our neighborhood a desirable place to live.

Spring/Summer Yard Maintenance: If you have trees that overhang a street, please consider trimming them so that delivery vehicles and people on bikes can safely drive down our streets. Clearance should be at least 13’ above the street. Please keep your curbs edged and sweep up clippings so that the neighborhood streets look clean and the clippings do not get washed down storm drains. Weeded flower beds and mown lawns contribute to the attractiveness of our neighborhood.

Hope you have (or had) a fun 4th of July!
