Now that Spring is here and winter (what little we had) is behind us, we need to address some issues as we approach the “Lodge” season for  Owners, Renters -  Long Term Leases and Nightly Rental:
 

Weed Issue – Changing the pond area into a park like sitting area has taken a lot of time  away from our normal landscaping, including getting the weeds under control and taking dead bushes out, getting rid of dead trees and all the leaves cleaned up.  We should be back on track by next week.
 

Dog Issue – We have had several complaints concerning dogs being left in lodges and barking continuously which could fall under the “Nuisance”  violation in the POA Covenants and By-Laws.  Also, complaints on not cleaning up after your dog has become a BIG issue. Having you dog on a leash is also good practice.   Please be considerate of your neighbors and the area in which you are living or staying.
 

No Parking – On Cantwell Lane there will be an area that will have  a NO PARKING sign as will a the curb painted red.  The area will be across from Lodge 75.  This is necessary  because the trash truck is unable to get to the dumpster located at the end of the street when there is parking on both sides.  Reminder that RV’s, boats and trailers are not to be in front of your lodge for more than 3 days and should not be blocking any other parking areas.  Please take into consideration of other lodge owners/visitors vehicles.
 

Owner Planting – We encourage the owners to take good care of their lodge area.  If you wish to plant trees or shrubs, please contact the COA first.  You will be responsible for the care of anything you plant and we need to make sure that it won’t interfere with the COA’s mowing and weeding.  If you see an area that could be maintained better, please e-mail or call the COA and not Tim Jones, who is in charge of the maintenance crew .  This will allow Tim to schedule his time better in order to accomplish what needs to be done.
 

Trash – Please be considerate of other lodge owners/visitors and make sure your trash goes into the dumpster and that all boxes are broken down.  The daily clean-up that our maintenance crew has to do in order to keep the trash areas clean takes away valuable time that is needed in other areas of the COA.  If you walk in and see that the dumpster is full on that side, please open the gate and put it in the other side of the dumpster instead of just throwing it over the top or leaving it on the ground where the varmints can get to it and spread trash through the lodge areas.  Treat the trash and all common areas like you would treat your own home and yard.  Be respectful.
 

We are looking forward to another GREAT season and we hope that the time you spend here will be enjoyable and memorable.  
 

 

 

Just an update on the door painting.  We have just a few left and then we can focus more on the painting & repairing of the decks, walk-ways, railings  of Lodges 1-65.

I would like to thank everyone for their patience with the door painting project.   Between  Mother Nature,working around the lodges in nightly rentals, and other situations that needed immediate attention,this project became a real challange.

Thanks to Tim Jones, his crew and their abilities to meet the different situations, we are able to maintain the quality for which you all have enjoyed.  

 

For all of you that will be in Stonebridge over the 4th of July have a great time.  We will be adding an extra dumpster on Forest lake drive to help with the trash overflow.  Please do not leave trash on the ground near the dumpsters.  BeCareful with your fire works and bbq,s.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We now have a drop box located at our office at 54 Notch Shopping Lane Center for your convenience.  We are 1 mile west of Silver Dollar City, across from Notch Inn and next door (west)  to the round building, Carol Jones Realtors .  This is just in case you are in town and need to drop keys off for any repairs  or any other information .  It is locked and secured.

Hope to see you at our Annual Meeting on December 4th at 9:00 AM in the Par Room at the Clubhouse.
