PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF ROOFS

To: All Weathersfield Residents

To further improve our drive towards preventative maintenance (heading off trouble before it starts) we asked our roofing company to inspect our roofs and identify any problems during a planned roof cleaning project.  Once the roofs were blown free of leaves and pine needles in late Fall, the contractor did find a considerable number of defects that included most of the roofs in our community.

After reviewing the work, we have decided to have it done in one block. It will begin on February 14 and likely proceed until the end of the month.

This letter is to make you aware that the contractor will be needing access to most of the roofs in the community during that time. We realize this can at times be inconvenient, but we hope to have all your cooperation. As we get closer to the onset of this work, we will attempt to notify you of the schedule for the individual Closes.

Failure to address the potential weaknesses and other defects would likely result in roof leaks that could lead to further damage to the interiors of our homes and costly repairs.

Please feel free to contact Larry Layton or Steve Krasnow with any questions that you may have.

Sincerely,

David Spencer, Weathersfield HOA Board President

Landscape Committee Notice

Ruppert Landscape will be back in Weathersfield on December 28th to complete regular maintenance for 2021. This will include leaf blowing and debris cleanup prior to the New Year.  Christmas trees and leaf bags will also be picked up on the 28th and again in early January.

Ruppert will continue an approximate 10-day schedule through winter.  Services will include picking up yard waste, loose debris and leaf bags; perennial bush pruning and lawn mowing, as required; and lawn preparation.

Regular weekly services with resume on Wednesdays, weather permitting,  in early spring.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Please refrain from putting out brown paper leaf bags or other yard debris until Ruppert’s next expected maintenance visit.

Mulching:  Ruppert will, weather permitting, begin community-wide mulching on January 17, 2022.   It is better to complete mulching early in the year before the grass starts to germinate.

Davey Tree:  Weather permitting, a crew will be in Weathersfield on January 10, 2022, to perform required pruning around houses and over garages.

Additionally, Davey Tree will be thinning out many of the Crepe Myrtle trees on Common Areas sometime in March (date to be determined). Please be aware that no trees are to be cut down or severely reduced in height.

With best wishes for a safe, restful, and enjoyable Christmas and holiday season and New Year!

Annual General Meeting Results

The Weathersfield Service Group VI ballots from the mail-in Annual General Meeting have been tabulated separately by Mill House and the Board Secretary.  Out of a total of 104 possible votes (one vote per household), 76 were received, exceeding the necessary quorum of 63 (60% of all households as specified in the Covenants, Article IV, Section 5).  The results follow.
    • The three candidates running for the three open Board Director seats also received the most votes:  Steve Krasnow (74 votes), Larry Layton (74 votes), David Spencer (76 votes).  There was one write-in nomination, but the person named is not interested in board membership.  The new slate of directors and officers will take effect on November 6 after a special meeting in which board roles will be determined.
    • As required by our Covenants (Article IV, Section 3), a two-thirds majority of those households voting was needed to pass the requested monthly fee increase of $25.  Out of 76 votes cast, there were 65 yes votes and 11 no votes for a total of 86% in favor.  The measure passes and the fee increase will take effect in January, 2022.
A separate notice on responses to homeowner questions will be sent this week.
