This is a reminder that the next HoA meeting is this Saturday, September 13th, 2025 at the Delaware Township Meeting Hall, 116 Wilson Hill Road, Dingmans Ferry, PA at 10:00 A.M..  The meeting was previously announced at the June Quarterly Meeting and published in the Agenda for that meeting posted under the HoA documents. 

The meeting was also announced to all Members in Good Standing as a part of a ballot mailing for two items these members are voting on. This means you must be current on all dues (including those using the Quarterly Payment Plan), and also past years. As a reminder, By-Laws state only Members in Good Standing may vote. The mailing was done approximately 2 weeks ago. If you did not receive one and believe you are current on all dues payments , please contact the BoD as soon as possible so we can resolve any issue should there be one. All ballots received will be checked against the most current Berkheimer and Creditech Spreadsheets.]]><![CDATA[Parking Lot - Notice to All Residents]]>Fri, 08 Aug 2025 19:41:50 GMThttps://www.pmle567.com/community-news/parking-lot-notice-to-allTo the community,

Please be aware there will be cars parked overnight in the parking lot area from 8/9 thru 8/10.  The cars will be coming for an event at a resident's home. The resident notified us and asked for permission in advance.  They have been specifically asked to not block the mailbox access.  Please let the Board know should there be access issues.

They have stated that they will leave one lane open during that time and will alert the Board if they have to close the road at the pipeline.  Should that be the case, we will open the emergency gate to Wild Acres for those living above the Pipeline area.  Please use extreme caution when passing the Met Ed vehicles.  They are large and do block the vision. Also please let the folks do their job.  They are doing the job they were instructed to do.  We will also contact Met Ed to remind them that they must contact the HoA given Mountain Top's importance of allowing traffic.  Thank you in advance for your patience and consideration.]]><![CDATA[RoadWork To Begin - Gypsy/Spongey Moth Spraying]]>Fri, 09 May 2025 23:57:54 GMThttps://www.pmle567.com/community-news/roadwork-to-begin-gypsyspongey-moth-spraying
To all,

Given weather issues and proper timing on spraying, both activities have now been scheduled for next week. Currently the spraying is planned for Tuesday, May 13th.  The spraying will be done by plane so be aware of a low(er) flying plane over the community.  Spraying will also commence for other HoAs and Town and County areas approximately the same timing.  You may have noticed that the caterpillars have hatched and are now in the process of climbing to the tree tops to get to the leaves where they will ingest the sprayed viral matter specific to them.

Roadwork (Asphalt) will begin on Wednesday, May 14th.  This will be for pothole repair, center crack sealing in section 5 (Rockledge Dr.) and to repair sections of Mountain Top Road where the much older original road bed has begun to create issues in some locations.  PLEASE be aware of the work crews and adhere to any and all safety measures required.  Tar and Chip work will begin in June.  As always these dates are weather dependent.

UPDATE 05/13/2025: Due to weather, the spraying has been pushed back to either tomorrow or Thursday.  This is a fluid situation and we are in contact with the vendor multiple times daily.  As soon as we have more information, it will be added to this post.  Likewise, Roadwork may also be delayed.

UPDATE 05/15/2025: The latest information we have (again weather dependent) is spraying could commence tomorrow 5/16/2025 or Saturday. The contractor is balancing the many communities, township, etc. they have been contracted for against this continual rain. This is the latest information we have after speaking with them today. Our suggestion would be to be prepared for this to happen on either day.  There is no way to know at present an exact time as they cover the many areas.  We will post any other updates here.

UPDATE 05/17/2025 7:30PM - As of right now spraying will commence very early tomorrow (Sunday) morning. Weather permitting the entirety of PMLE 567 will be completed by noon.  Wild Acres will be sprayed AFTER PMLE 567.  A very small portion of our HoA was sprayed earlier before the winds picked up.

The HoA Board of Directors is calling for a Special Meeting to address two issues related to the health of the community, requiring two votes.  One is for the potential Gypsy/Spongy Moth devastation and the other is to address budget issues being caused by non-paying members (currently 30% of owners) and actions that are and/or need to be taken.  A mailing is going out today, April 3, 2025, to all Members in Good Standing (those current on dues at least 40 days prior) with detailed information and a ballot sheet.

We ask you to please take the time to read through the letter in full, review the most recent budget, and minutes/agenda from our most recent HoA Quarterly meeting. These documents are posted on the Web Site under "Useful Information > PMLE Documents" and the letter is being included here. The meeting will be on Saturday, April 19th , at the Delaware Township Meeting Hall, 116 Wilson Hill Rd. beginning promptly at 3:00 PM.  As has been stated, only Members in Good Standing are eligible to vote, and the mailing was sent only to those members. If you do not receive a mailing it is because based on current records, you are delinquent on dues payments. If you feel this is in error, please contact the BoD in advance of the meeting by email at PMLE567.HOA@GMAIL.COM and we will work to resolve any issues that may be present. Please do so in advance of the meeting.

The Results of the Voting were as follows:
Dues Increase 62% For - 38% Against. Did not Pass. The issue will be addressed again at a future meeting.
Spraying for Gypsy/Spongey Moths - 80% For - 20% Against - Passed

]]><![CDATA[Community Safety With Current Weather]]>Sun, 16 Feb 2025 23:08:56 GMThttps://www.pmle567.com/community-news/community-safety-with-current-weatherAll,
It goes without saying that our community and the entire NEPA area is undergoing severe weather conditions impacting power, roads, services, etc.  The ice storm, winds and continued freezing temperatures will make things hazardous and difficult for everyone for several days.  Regarding our roads, we have been in constant contact with Eclipse as they are working throughout the night again tonight to treat the road surfaces.  Salt and grit will be used to give as much traction as possible. We are also aware of the many iced trees that are bent over the roads. There is virtually nothing that can be done until the ice begins to melt and the trees hopefully rise back up. If there is a fallen branch on the road we will make every attempt to remove it. These are very serious conditions and we ask that IF you have to go out PLEASE use extreme caution until things begin to turn around. Met Ed is still working to clear the many outages and it is very likely with the winds (possibly 60 mph gusts) tonight there will be more trees and limbs falling on wires.  Remember do not touch any wires or limbs on wires that may have fallen down and do report it to Med Ed as soon as possible. We are all facing this and we want everyone to be as safe as they possibly can.  If you can help lend a hand by safely moving a branch or any road obstruction it is appreciated.  Again, please try to be as safe as you possibly can, help a neighbor if they need something, and report things to the proper authorities as needed.  You can always check the current status of ALL power outages at the following website:

Met Ed Power Outage
]]><![CDATA[Met-Ed Power Outage #3 - Latest info]]>Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:55:56 GMThttps://www.pmle567.com/community-news/met-ed-power-outage-3-latest-infoAll,

First, the emergency gate will be opened late this evening in preparation for the work being done tomorrow.  Wild Acres has been made aware.  We ask you respect their road rules as we would expect of their residents on our roads.

I spoke with the foreman today for the Met-Ed work being done tomorrow.  Here's the latest (and probably final).  The outage will encompass a broader area of roads, including Section 6.  They will try to de-energize the lines as late in the process as possible and re-energize as quickly as possible to try and reduce outage times.  Many other areas besides ours are going to be affected.  Mountain Top will (at times) be blocked but they will minimize that as much as is feasible (again the emergency gate will be open).  Please remember, the crews that will be here were not responsible for scheduling this. Please let them do the work as quickly and as hassle free as possible.  The foreman seemed very confident that the work will be done in the eight hour time window.  I'm still waiting on a call from Met-Ed, but I do not foresee this being postponed. Met-Ed was made aware that the HoA SHOULD have been contacted in regard to this, and not just the individual home owners.  IF there is a further delay and should the road remained closed or blocked, we will keep the emergency gate open.  Please look at the Wild Acre Map here on the website if you're not familiar with their roads. You will find a map under the "Useful Information - Community Information" tab. Again, please be safe with ANY alternative heating device(s) you may use.]]><![CDATA[Met-Ed Power Outage - Post #2]]>Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:39:42 GMThttps://www.pmle567.com/community-news/met-ed-power-outage-post-2All,
The message from Met-Ed mentions most all the roads in Section 7 and the pole being replaced is part of the High Tension lines in the pipeline area. It is an 80' high pole that is right next to Mountain Top Drive on the Wild Acres side of the road. There are a lot of "X"s marked on the pole and there is a split running most of the way from bottom to the top. Wild Acres will be notified tomorrow that the emergency gate might need to be opened. Also, a call was placed to Met Ed earlier today to alert them about closing/blocking the road and the potential need for Emergency vehicles especially given the temps and use of fireplaces and generators. We will continue to post any important notifications here as well as on the two PMLE567 Facebook Group pages as we get them. Again, if you feel you have individual needs and/or concerns, you should voice them to Met-Ed directly.]]><![CDATA[Met-Ed Planned Power OUtage - Take Note]]>Tue, 17 Dec 2024 20:10:38 GMThttps://www.pmle567.com/community-news/met-ed-planned-power-outage-take-noteAll,

Met-Ed is making calls to residents in PMLE 567 (primarily Section 7) about an eight hour planned outage this coming Thursday 12/19/2024 from 8AM to 4PM.  This is to replace a pole on Mountain Top and you may have seen the road signs. PLEASE plan accordingly as the temperatures are supposed to be in the mid 30's.  If you have a generator, please make sure you have enough fuel on hand to cover the time frame. If past history is a gauge, we all might want to plan for a longer outage.  The HoA has no control over this, but residents should call to alert Met-Ed if there are personal needs that they need to be aware of.  Again the temperatures are supposed to drop so please be safe (if using a fireplace) and make sure generators are properly vented.]]><![CDATA[Hydrualic Spill Update]]>Mon, 18 Nov 2024 22:35:12 GMThttps://www.pmle567.com/community-news/hydrualic-spill-updateAfter 3 one hour calls with Casella today (11/18/2024) all concerns were provided to them in great detail.  They are now in contact with their remediation company (Datom) to understand where they (Datom) feel they are in the cleanup process.  Fully documented actions taken have been requested to be sent to the HoA.  There is a follow on call at 9:00 A.M. tomorrow (11/19/2024).  We will keep the community up to date on everything.  Thank you again for any information you have or will continue to provide to the BoD via the website. It is important that anything is documented there.]]><![CDATA[Hydraulic Spill Section 7]]>Sun, 17 Nov 2024 15:49:36 GMThttps://www.pmle567.com/community-news/hydraulic-spill-section-7At 4:30PM on Friday a resident of Whitetail called the board about the road work being done on Whitetail.  The board was not aware of any work being done. A board member arrived on site to see what was going on.  They were told by the crew working there that on Friday morning a Casella Trash truck making rounds had broken a hydraulic line in the truck and had spread hydraulic fluid along Buck Run, Whitetail, Sugar Maple and parts of Ledgeway.  The driver wasn't aware of it till he had backed up on Buck Run and saw the spill.  The driver then reported it to Casella. 

Casella proceeded to then hire the environmental crew, that residents saw, to go onsite and begin the remediation process.  While the HoA is greatly appreciative Casella took that initiative to clean up the spill, their failure to contact the HoA's BOD is unacceptable. Unfortunately, by the time the BoD were made aware, Casella had closed its offices for the weekend.  The BoD will contact them first thing Monday morning regarding multiple aspects of this incident.  

The HoA is fortunate to have multiple members (both on and off the BoD) who have professional experience in these matters. Greg Palmer, Road Committee head, and Bill Freeland, BoD Member, are providing their expertise. Greg spoke directly with the team doing the work, on the request from the board, to ensure they were doing things correctly.  He confirmed they were using the correct barrier for the removed material and had them cover it to avoid any run off should it rain. Further inspections will occur today and early next week to also assess any road damage that might also have occurred. The BoD has already began that process Friday evening as well.

For now this is what the board knows until we speak with Casella on the phone, which, as stated, will happen first thing Monday morning.  The BoD does not take this situation lightly for all of the potential environmental reasons and will reach out to whichever authorities are needed to resolve this to our complete satisfaction and as it relates to the HoA from all the concerns we have stated here. The board will update the community when it knows more about this situation, and as a reminder, we do not directly address things posted on social media. Please reach out to us via the Contact form on the website or PMLE567.HoA@GMAIL.COM.  Lastly, the BoD wants to thank everyone who has provided information or taken direct actions to help the community.  
]]><![CDATA[Burn Ban Issued by Delaware Township]]>Tue, 29 Oct 2024 15:33:55 GMThttps://www.pmle567.com/community-news/burn-ban-issued-by-delaware-townshipAll, the following message was sent today, 10/29/2024, was sent to all Delaware Township Planned Communities/HoAs.  Please adhere to the following.  Thank you in advance.

"Effective immediately - upon recommendation of the Delaware Township Fire Company, the Board of Supervisors have implemented a township-wide burn ban. No outside burning of any kind is permitted due to extremely dry conditions.  The burn ban will be in effect for the next few weeks. Please advise your community members of the burn ban immediately. Thank you in advance for your cooperation."
 

]]><![CDATA[Temporary Resolution On Signs Discussion]]>Sun, 13 Oct 2024 13:13:35 GMThttps://www.pmle567.com/community-news/temporary-resolution-on-signs-discussionAll,

After review with the HoA legal counsel and former members of the BoD for the HoA, the following is the conclusion the current BoD has arrived at:

1. The HoA legal counsel has informed us that the BoD does have the right to restrict signage within a private community.  However, the current by-laws are vague and were not uniformly enforced with the same interpretation the current BoD used. The current By-Laws as written with the terminology of "Advertising Signs" do not provide a clear differentiation between "commercial advertising signs" and "political, social, etc. signs".  The HoA lawyer is also reviewing the documents handed to the BoD at the meeting. The effort by those individuals is truly appreciated.

Commercial (Advertising) signage though is accurately covered by the By-Laws and will remain unacceptable and will be asked to be removed. 

2. For the remainder of this political season no letters or fines will be sent to those wishing to display a political lawn sign. We do though ask that regardless of the outcome of the general election that all signs would be removed within 48 hours after the election to help reduce any divisiveness potential within the community.  Again, this is for this period only and should not be taken as a precedent going forward.   

3. The new By-Laws committee will take this rule (and many others) under consideration for change, updates, etc. considering many factors, and report back to the HoA Membership with their recommendations and ultimately a vote.  We recommend once they begin to seek input and thoughts that we all participate in providing as much unemotional input as possible and with consideration for all. With this in mind, please remember our By-Laws, Covenants, and Rules for this HoA, as a private community, take precedent as noted by the Pennsylvania Superior Court. 

4. Lastly, we all have a responsibility to vote and that is the place to truly use that right to voice your opinion.]]>
