Hello Parkshore Residents!  The home owners association had its quarterly meeting on 11/13/18.  We want to thank all of you who have been painting and repairing your mailboxes, the neighborhood looks good!  We have a lot of new residents in the neighborhood, so we are planning on putting out an updated directory for 2019.  We are also looking for your involvement in social activities for the neighborhood, including starting a Welcoming Committee for people moving to the neighborhood and a Social Committee for planning events like our Flamingo Fridays.  Consider getting involved.  Look for more information to come on that!  We will be having our annual home owner’s association meeting on Saturday March 9^th, 2019.  It is tentatively planned for 9:00 am at Orange Hall.  All home owners are invited and encouraged to attend.

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.

There are still mailbox stain kits available. If you are looking to refresh your mailbox during the summer season, please contact one of the board members for a mailbox stain kit. 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).

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. You may obtain all documents from the Parkshore website. If you have any questions please contact anyone on the board.

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. 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.
