We will be mowing the West side tomorrow, May 9th, and the East side on May 10th.
We have been seeing GP City trucks around since last week; they are changing out our street signs and putting up larger Stop signs at all exits from the property.
I believe they are also adding Stop signs along our entrances off of 14th (near the golf course), something we have not had prior. The new street name signs are reflective, as are the stop signs.
Recently, we have had some damages done to HOA property which appear to have been done by kids roaming the property. Here is a brief list:
- Someone tore the bag dispenser off of one of the pet stations;
- someone else spray painted the word “Blood” on a street and in several other locations;
- someone has been stripping the limbs off of our young trees;
- someone keeps knocking over the round cable box covers;
- someone keeps taking the covers off of phone boxes
I am sure there is more, but that is all I can think of for now. If you see kids tearing up stuff, stuff that you pay for with your dues, I would hope that you say something to them or at a minimum, see where they live and let us know.
School will be letting out soon and kids will be bored and getting into mischief.
We have bought our second batch of shrubs today, duplicating the type and quantity of what we bought a few weeks ago. We got 20 of the Red Tip Photinia, 10 Golden Euonymous and 10 Japanese Boxwood. We also got 2 Oleanders to replace the ones removed by the large water leak on West Mountain Creek Drive.
We will be planting these in front of houses which have few or no shrubs. We do plan on continuing to fill in the front beds a little at a time, but we do ask all residents to make sure their shrubs are watered regularly.
We seem to be having another rash of people checking car door handles, sometimes under your own carport, to see if the car is unlocked. This is happening on both sides of the property. Someone that lives by me had her car burgled; a few items were taken but nothing of great value. These individuals seemed to be going down the street on both sides and checking cars. If you see errant people walking around day or night that just don’t look right, call the Police.
This is private property and if someone is uninvited, they are trespassing. This also applies to vehicles who use our visitor lots to hide and/or to do illegal things. We do have a no loitering policy here, so no one should be standing around or sitting in their cars for long periods. Please report suspicious vehicles!
The GPPD non-emergency number is 972 237 8700. If you see someone breaking into a house or car, please call 911.
Weather permitting, we plan on mowing the West side on Tuesday and the East side on Wednesday.
The April 21st GP Pipeline is now posted.
You can also find the Main Street Festival Information here. It runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The Office will close at noon on Friday, April 21st and will be closed all day Monday, April 24th. We will reopen as usual on Tuesday.
Here are a few recent photos of the 10 Chinese Pistache trees planted, 40 various shrubs planted, and a few houses painted on the East side.
We had planned on mowing today, but will have to wait until next week following the torrential rains yesterday.
In the meantime, we will continue with the 2017 painting schedule and painting trim colors on houses that have already received the base color.
