The Parkshore HOA Board hopes everyone had an enjoyable holiday season!

Over the last couple of years, we have seen a lot of new neighbors move in to Parkshore. We would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone that has joined the community.

Updates:
We are in the process of updating our directory and are hopeful to have it ready for distribution early spring, so if you have not had the opportunity to meet your new neighbors the updated directory can help. To ensure we are including your information correctly we will be providing a mailer for you to complete your name, address and phone number. Also for future directories there will be a section that includes information on neighbors that would be interested in babysitting, pet care, lawn maintenance and other information. Please look for a mailer soon with more information.

We are also looking to put together a social committee that can plan events and activities for everyone in the community throughout the year. If you are interested please contact the Parkshore HOA Board for more details. We are very excited to introduce this to our community.

Bike Path Update:
We have been informed that the bike path construction on Lewis Center Road will begin the spring of 2019. It was initially slated to start the fall of 2018.

Reminders:
As a reminder, if you are considering any changes to your property, The Parkshore Covenant Architectural Standard requires that the proposed changes be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board. The application for submitting these proposed changes can be found on the Parkshore HOA website. (https://parkshorehoa.org/design-review-board)

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the residents that have maintained or recently completed the necessary repairs or replacement of their mailbox. There are still, however, some mailboxes that need to be either stained, repaired or replaced. Once the weather starts to warm up we will be sending notices to residents whose mailboxes do not comply with the standards outlined in the Declaration of Covenants. As a reminder the stain for the mailboxes is provided by the HOA free of charge. If you need mailbox stain, please contact any board member (trustees@parkshorehoa.org). Information pertaining to mailbox maintenance can be located on the Parkshore HOA website (https://parkshorehoa.org/mailbox-standards)

Important dates:
If you haven’t already received the 2019 annual HOA dues invoice from Real Property Management, you will be soon. The annual fees will remain the same at $125 and will be due by March 1, 2019. These fees will be good for the calendar year 2019. Please be advised that a late charge will be applied for any payment received after the March 1, 2019 due date.

The Annual HOA meeting will be Saturday, March 9, 2019 at 9:00am at the Orange Township Hall. There will be two open trustee positions up for election. If you are interested in running for a position on the board, please provide your letter of intent to any board member by March 7, 2019. These two positions will be voted onto the Board during the Annual HOA meeting.

As always if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns please feel free to contact any of the board members.

Sincerely
Parkshore HOA Board

We wanted to bring an incident to the attention of the residents of Parkshore. The board was notified that there were items stolen from a resident’s unlocked vehicle Sunday night. Although, we have only received notice of one incident we felt it necessary to provide an update to the residents of Parkshore. If you see suspicious activity please notify the Delaware Sheriff’s office by calling 911 or 740-833-2810 if it is not an emergency.

Please remember if you are planning any changes or improvements to the exterior of your property (including painting) all required documents must be submitted to the Design Review Board for approval prior to starting your project.

Thursday, April 19, 2018 at Orange Township Hall

Trustees in attendance:
Frances Catanese
Carol Conklin
Andy Drake
Michael Peirce
Donna Tomaro

Also in attendance: Steve Ginter – Treasurer

Meeting opened at 7:02 PM

Frances opened the meeting by doing introductions of the board and the 11 Parkshore homeowners that attended the meeting.

Steve Ginter was recognized for preparing the financials that last 7 years. Steve reviewed the financials detailing the actual to budgeted expenses – outlining our biggest expense in 2017 was the repair work done with the front entrance irrigation system. The board agreed that the current dues are sufficient to maintain the common area and provide for any unexpected expenses.

Jamie Stabl was recognized for maintaining the retention pond and assisting with repairing a street sign post that was damage.

A request was raised to revisit the replacement of trees, on HOA common property, at the Waukeegan entrance. There were 9 trees that were dead/damaged from storm. A revised estimate, for consideration, will be forwarded from the resident that raised the issue.

A question was posed regarding planned paving of the Parkshore roads. Frances mentioned that she was not aware of any planned paving work for any of the Parkshore streets.

Frances made the group aware that there were three open trustee positions: Frances Catanese, Carol Conklin and Donna Tomaro, and that Frances Catanese and Carol Conklin would not be running for their positions again. Cathleen Duffy and Sherry Jones were the only individuals that expressed an interest to run for one of the open positions. There were no other nominations or volunteers so both candidates were elected unanimously and Donna Tomaro will continue for another two-year term on the board. Welcome Cathleen and Sherry.

We would like to extend a special thanks to Frances Catanese and Carol Conkin for their commitment on the board for a combined total of 23 years. Frances was not only dedicated with maintaining the integrity of the neighborhood, she also was instrumental with helping neighbors connect and enjoy family events through her organization of Flamingo Fridays, Easter Egg Hunts, Annual Wine & Cheese gatherings, to name a few. She helped to ensure that the neighborhood was inclusive and their life was enriched by living here. Carol was actively involved with ensuring compliance and consistency with any project requests submitted. She also supported Frances with any neighborhood related responsibilities or events. The trustees would like to thank Frances and Carol for their many years of service.

No additional business discussed.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:34 PM

Minutes reviewed and approved 4/26/18

Dear Parkshore Residents just a reminder our annual meeting is scheduled for tomorrow , April 19th at 7pm at the Orange Township Hall . There will be 3 open seats for election available. While I have throughly enjoyed my position on the board for over 12 years I have decided not to run for another term.

Regards ,
Frances

Dear Parkshore Residents we hope everyone enjoyed spring break and time spent with family. A reminder the annual dues payment was to be received by March 31 to avoid the late fee. We will extend and waive the late fee charge if your payment is postmarked by April 9 due to the Easter holiday. Thank you to those that have already paid.

Regards,
Frances
