Spring Update
Dear Riverbend Homeowner:
WEBSITE:
The web site www.riverbenddrive.org has been launched. This site will be the primary source of information for the community and where announcements will be made. If any homeowner does not have web access, they need to make this known to Executive Property Management. You MUST let EPM know if you want information mailed to you. If we do not hear from you requesting this mail, we will NOT send it and the web site will serve as the newsletter.
The site is in its infancy and we are in the midst of loading some basic information. There will be a good deal of public information. There will also be password protected data that will be restricted to only homeowners. This will be of a more sensitive nature.
We need VOLUNTEERS to act as administrators for the site. If anyone with a background in web site construction/administration is available for an hour each month to update the site, contribute to its improvement and participate in the community is encouraged to let EPM know of your interest.
LANDSCAPING
We are always looking to improve the look of Riverbend. Because of our limited resources this year, we will be removing overgrown plantings along Riverbend Drive to refresh the “curb” value of our community. As our budget allows we will address the overgrowth along each of the walkways.
Homeowners will be getting notified shortly about dealing with the jungle like private areas near your homes. The recent March storms showed the danger of having oversized trees/plants within the private areas. There were a number of trees blown down and against the houses. Major damage was largely avoided this time but we saw what might happen if we don’t remove these trees as they outgrow the spaces. You can contact our landscaper, Growing Concern about removal.
New Mulch has been added to the playground.
PAINTING/REPAIRS
Letters will be going out in the next few weeks to homes where there is an obvious need for maintenance. Now is a great time to contact local painters and handymen to book the work that needs to get done.
Be courteous to your neighbors. Please pick up after your pets. When you see a loose piece of paper, cups, bottles, etc., please pick it up and throw it away.
LIGHTING
The walkway lights have been installed since the community opened in 1981. These bulbs/fixtures are outdated and inefficient and the state has told us that we have to deal with replacement. We are working with a lighting engineer to negotiate the purchase and installation of low maintenance and cost efficient fixtures that will enhance the walkway lighting and improve safety.
CABLE INSTALLATION
Contractors for P S E & G have been working in Hidden Lake for nearly six months. They are installing tubes and cables that will improve electricity delivery among other things. They are completing their work that will allow us to finish our landscaping and mulching.
Enjoy the Spring!
