On Friday, we took a drive to the local tree nursery near I-20 and 820, we bought 10 trees which will be delivered on Monday sometime. We decided to go with the Chinese Pistache, a drought resistant tree, the same as the 2 trees between the Office and the Pool (near West Mountain Lane). They will provide a lot of color in the fall when the leaves turn.

Here are a few photos of this tree and some info:

Long–lived, winter hardy shade tree with spectacular red, red–orange fall color. Outstanding heat, drought and soil tolerance. Extremely pest resistant. A near perfect shade tree for one–story buildings.

Hardiness: Zone 5

Exposure: Full sun

Size: Height — 40 feet tall; width — 30 feet wide

There are a few things that were moved around today and were put onto their own page.  The menu has a new item listed, “Homeowner  Information and Notices” which shows our “New Owner Welcome Package/Quick Start”, Informational Notices and 2016 Quarterly Reports.

The “Quick Start” is a condensed information package for new homeowners; please refer to our Governing Documents for complete information.

Below are the accent colors available for this painting season. We will paint the base color, then come back to do the accent colors.

We will be working on a sewer line on Monday, March 13, in the common area in front of West Creek Lane.

We will be using a back hoe because the 4″ sewer line from the home takes about  a 10 foot decline to the larger 6″ sewer lines. We have hand dug the area as far as possible and now require mechanization. We will be taking out a section of sidewalk because the sewer line runs right under it.

The area is fenced off and we ask that residents steer clear of the area until we can complete repairs.

The new GP Pipeline is posted.

The Office will be closed while Terry recuperates from whatever has been going around.

Starting next week, we will be putting notices on townhouses we will be power-washing prior to painting.  If you get one of these notices, you need to move everything away from the house in your back yard so we can get to it easily.  We will be painting properties a day or so after power-washing them.

On the 2017 Painting schedule are single story properties only. These are from #1 to #30 East Mountain Creek Court and all single story units on East Mountain Creek Drive.

We first paint the base coat color, then we come back and paint the accent colors. You will have the opportunity to choose your accent colors from a color palette.  If you do not pick a color, we will pick one for you.

The available accent colors will be displayed in the office next week. Please let us know which you prefer.
