All,

Several topics to be covered here:
  
FALL MEETING 2024
The Fall meeting is later this year due to scheduling issues. It is on October 5th at 10:00 AM at the Delaware Township Offices, 116 Wilson Hill Road.  There are a number of important topics and some recognition to be brought up. Please join us.
OUTSTANDING DUES
September is the time of year when outstanding dues are turned over to Creditech for collection. The Board of Directors is making a one time offer to those who have not paid their current year's dues, or missed the second installment of their quarterly payment plan.  For the next 14 calendar days (Ends October 1st), the HoA will waive the 2024 penalty amounts assessed on your account IF the outstanding amount is paid and the Board is notified via email ([email protected]).  Please contact Berkheimer for the best method to make your payment. This will not be repeated, and anyone whose dues remain delinquent will be turned over for collection and legal followup. This for your 2024 Dues only. Anyone who has outstanding dues for prior years is subject to penalty and legal fees with a follow on court date (if needed) as is the normal case.
SIGNS
The Board of Directors wants to thank those who responded to the letters sent regarding sign removal. We appreciate your removing the signs per the By-Laws.  Additional letters have been send regarding new signs and hope everyone will honor those as well. Please see the earlier post should you need more information regarding signs.

To All Residents,

The Board of Directors (BOD) was recently made aware that some of you may have received an unsolicited letter as attached here or one similar.  We want to make sure you are aware that the the BOD in no way provided ANY information regarding any resident and/or their property. The company searches areas through tools like GIS for vacant lots and sends these letters out en masse. We remind everyone that any sale needs to first apply for a Resale Certificate request which can be requested here on the website. We always recommend that, before signing any document, you are aware of what you are signing and agreeing to, and if you are unsure, that you seek appropriate guidance. 

To all residents,

We want to let you know about the actions of some of your neighbors.  Actions that we simply fail to understand.  We posted about Roadwork being done yesterday and today. We placed those posts on BOTH PMLE Facebook groups. Despite the notification and apology for inconvenience, some individuals felt the cones (protecting fresh roadwork and protecting the Vendor's workers) apparently don't apply to them. These individuals can't drive the 1/10 of a mile to Loftus Lane but can instead stop their cars, get out, move traffic cones and drive over the work recently done, or in fact, being done real time.  A shout out to the individual (you know who you are) that has helped in replacing the cones. This does not apply to the vast majority of residents by any means, and those who apparently didn't care will likely not be bothered by this post, but we felt you should know nonetheless. We appreciate all of those who have done it right.

All,

This has been a difficult year to give as much notice as possible on roadwork, so first, our apologies for any inconveniences this has created.  Weather and material(s) availability has made it difficult to commit to scheduling far in advance.  That said, 7 roads have been completed with Tar and Chip.  Asphalt work will begin this upcoming Thursday.  On Thursday, the entrance to the community at Hillside Drive and Log and Twig will be torn out and resurfaced. This is being done to prevent the water seepage coming up and freezing during the winter (a complaint that we received as this past winter was worse).  Please use the Truck Route via Loftus Lane to exit on to Log and Twig road.  Signage / Cones will be on the roads during the work.  Additionally, pothole repair will be done, and the turn from Hillside Drive on to Mountain Top Road will be widened and graded for better drainage.  All work should be completed by Friday assuming no weather delays. Thank you for your patience during the time.

All,

Just a friendly reminder that the Yearly Dues Statements from Berkheimer were sent out earlier this month.  All payments are due to Berkheimer either by mail or electronically by June 1st to avoid additional fees.  Please let the Board know if you have any questions or if you did not receive your bill.  Thanks to those who have already sent their payment in.

The Spring Quarterly meeting is this Saturday, April 27th at 10AM at the Delaware Township meeting hall 116 Wilson Hill Road, Dingmans Ferry.  Look forward to seeing everyone.

The Winter 2024 Newsletter is available for download. Strong attendance at the meeting is always desirable and  we appreciate everyone that came out for the meeting.  A special thanks to Barbara Burger for running the meeting.

​

As a reminder to all residents, please do not leave anything roadside when we are getting snow or anticipating it.  Leaving cars, trash barrels, etc. parked or placed by the roadside impedes the vendor's ability to effectively clear the road for all, and potentially risks damage to personal property and could endanger drivers as a result. The vendor will notify us if there are repeated incidents. Thank you for all you help and consideration in this matter.

Beginning this weekend (11/4/2023), Road Committee members and volunteers will begin the process of repairing, replacing and installing road signs, new posts, etc... throughout the community, weather permitting. Any work not completed this weekend will be done the following weekend. We ask all residents to be mindful of people working on the signs as you drive through the community.

The Board takes great pleasure in announcing the addition of Bill Freeland to the Board of Directors as a Member At Large. Bill is a fully qualified member of the Community who has helped as a volunteer in many ways. He brings knowledge both as a Board Member from prior residences as well as a wealth of knowledge on roads, where he has assisted our Road Committee head, Greg Palmer.  Bill is being brought onto the Board to bring the Board to the minimum required number of 5 members and being done in accordance with Section 5 of the By-Laws "Vacancies on the Board of Directors".  His name will also be placed up for a Community vote at the next yearly Board meeting. Please welcome him to the Board of Directors if you have the opportunity.

It is with much regret that the board announces Campbell Albritton’s withdrawal from his nomination to the board at the present time.  The board firmly believes that Campbell would have been a welcome, dedicated, talented and strong addition to the Board of Directors especially bringing in a voice from Section 5 which has been lacking. 

This has been a learning process. One of the things learned is that the sole and only deciding factor in this matter is the name(s) on the deed. The board also recognizes that the pressures on Campbell, his partner Brienne, the Board and the HoA in general have created too much of a distraction from the work the board hopes and needs to accomplish in the coming year. 

The board will, as it has in the past, accept nominations following the HoA by-law and rules.  Send nominations to the PMLE 567 email at [email protected].

To all, 
We have just been advised by the Wild Acres HoA Board, that because of the tree clearing on the pipeline it will be necessary to open the emergency gate for a short period of time today.  They have been reminded that our speed limit is 20 MPH and to turn left at the entrance into PMLE567.  We will keep everyone up to date as we have it.  

A recent inquiry regarding parking was brought to the attention of the Board today.  This was  based on a specific need for a specific situation. The Board received a very thoughtful suggestion from a Member and replied with actions we believe, based on the replies, satisfied that immediate need for the member. However, this was not a new general parking policy discussion for the current drop off/ pick up Bus stop location. That said, there is merit to further discussion of the area's use going forward. The Board committed to the poster that this would be added to the agenda for the upcoming meeting to solicit other comments/discussions from the general community.

There are other considerations here. While we are a private community, there are also Town/County/State regulations that might need to be followed.  The location was officially zoned by the Town for usage specially as it currently designated, not for parking. One of the first actions will be to see if changing that designation, in any fashion, adds more requirements. These may include, but not limited to: ADA requirements, additional insurance for the HoA (including costs to be borne by the membership), signage, etc.  We have already started the process of obtaining more information. We ask that if anyone in the community has some experience or knowledge specific in these areas to please write the Board at our email address or by using the contact form here to volunteer. Again, we will make this an agenda item as promised.
