Hidden Springs is again offering a group rate for Parkshore homeowners for irrigation winterization and core aeration needs. Our group shut off date is Saturday October 20th. The price for irrigation shut off is $60, core aeration is $65 for standard size yards of 7500 square feet or less. If you choose to have both services, the total cost is only $120.

If you wish to have core aeration, please remember to ask the technician to mark your irrigation heads during winterization. Dog fences must be clearly marked to avoid lines being cut by the aerator. It is the responsibility of the owner to do so prior to aeration.

If you are able to have your system shut down during the week and to avoid the Saturday wait, Hidden Springs will honor the group pricing. Call Frances Catanese at 740-816-1464 to schedule for weekday shut off.

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 continue to keep us posted of any incidents so we can communicate and help keep our neighborhood safe.

The next Flamingo Friday will be held this Friday, July 20th on Westwick Place beginning at 7 p.m. We hope to see you there. Please feel free to extend the invitation to any new neighbors.

If your mailbox or post is not repairable and needs to be replaced either can be purchased from Roush Hardware in Westerville (614-882-3623) or from Cedar Craft in Blacklick (614-759-1600).

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

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.
