West Creek Paving Work

Posted on by Don Ryan - Updated

The properties affected by this paving work are 14-32 West Creek Lane.  That portion of West Creek will be unusable from January 12 to January 26 (2 weeks) while that portion of the street is removed and replaced. Most of the homes on West Creek will be available by using the Mountain Creek Drive entrance, while the first part of West Creek can use the same entrance. Only the portion being replaced will be blocked off until the concrete has had time to cure properly. With the weather being cold it will take a bit longer to cure.

Anyone residing at 14 to 32 West Creek Lane needs to stop by the Office for a Parking Pass, so you can use the Visitors Lots while the road is being done. We will also inform the Towing company to leave these vehicles alone in the interim.

We ask that you refrain from parking in the Fire Lanes unless absolutely necessary. The City might tow your vehicle. Our towing company has been instructed to only tow from the West Creek area if they are called to do so.  They have also been told about the Temporary Parking passes.

A Clarification on 2015 Dues

Posted on by Don Ryan - Updated

We have had a few calls to the Office about the letter sent out detailing Association Dues for 2015.

Some people think the phrase “$158 and $148 if you have a security light” means they have to pay both. This is not the case.

You will pay the same dues in 2015 as you did in 2014;  $158 per month or $148 per month if you have a security light on your home.

Unsupervised Children

Posted on by Don Ryan

I was told today that two boys, maybe 10 or 11 years old, were trying to pry off the cover of a phone junction box on the side of a building located on E Mountain Creek Drive. Why they wanted to do this is known only to themselves. An adult stopped them or no telling what damages they could do.

Let’s keep an eye on the area to help prevent vandalism by anyone, including kids.
