PINEHURST VILLAGE

President's Message - December 2011

(re-printed from Dec - Jan edition of News & Views)

This year is rapidly coming to a close. Our Board of Directors and various committees have been working very hard to complete the many projects and assignments before we have our annual homeowner's meeting in November and before the end of this year.

The Documents Committee, consisting of Pat Corkery, Bobbi Keane, Phil Perrone and our Property Manager, Linda Deptola, have been meeting since February, 2011 to revise our Pinehurst Village Property Owners Association consisting of the Articles of Incorporation, the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R) and the By-Laws, in order for them to be in compliance with the 2010 Florida Statutes. By the end of 2011, every homeowner should have a copy of each document. Remember to keep the documents in a safe place in your home. If you should sell or rent your home, then please give the documents to the new owner(s) or renter(s). These documents are revised every 10 years.

The Landscape Committee, consisting of Chairperson Bobbi Keane, Pat Corkery and Helen Perrone, will have the Earthscape work crews complete trimming the tree branches that are 15 feet or lower. We urge any homeowner who has tree branches overhanging their new roofs to have the branches removed by a professional tree service company in order to preserve and protect the roof from the weather elements. The Landscape Committee has completed the resodding of St. Augustine, Bahia grass and mulching where needed, and are now working on a new schedule for 2012. Let's hope that the advancing winter weather does not do as much damage to our grass as it did in the past.

Mary McCrea, the Design and Advisory Board Chairperson, along with Dick Harper, Patricia Plummer and the four members of the Board of Directors have been busy making sure that our deed restrictions are in compliance. The DAB Committee appreciates your co-operation and would like to remind all homeowners to pick up a DAB Request Form from Mary McCrea BEFORE you decide to make any changes to the exterior of your villa and/or property.

Our sprinkler system has been maintained by homeowner Dick Harper who has coordinated with Earthscapes to keep our antiquated sprinkler system in good running order. Dick could use the help of any homeowner to serve on his Irrigation Committee. There's no manual labor involved. Dick will teach you how to turn on and off the various sprinkler zones. If any sprinkler repairs are needed, all you have to do is phone Earthscapes and give them the location of the needed repairs and Earthscapes will send their repairman to fix the problem. If you are interested in filling in for Dick when he is not available, then please phone him at 795-6790.

Marge Harper, the Chairperson of our Budget Committee, has been developing our 2012 budget along with her committee members consisting of Pat Corkery, Mary McCrea and Marty Ramsdell. Homeowners will be given the final results of our 2012 budget at our annual homeowner's meeting in November. Ann Andreano and her Social Committee members will serve us their famous and always delicious pot luck dinners at the annual meeting. By the time you receive this issue of the "News and Views" in December, you will still have fond memories of the pot luck dinner!

Mary Carter is unfortunately resigning from her many years as the Editor of the "News and Views". The Board of Directors and the homeowners of Pinehurst Village sincerely thank Mary for all her selfless time and efforts she gave while developing and publishing our Meadowcrest newsletter.
