Country Club
20th AnniversaryThis handsome clock was placed beside the putting green in late February, 2010. Funds for its purchase were raised from the Deercreek Course Improvement Tournament which is held yearly. In addition bricks, which can be personalized with contributor's names, were sold and positioned around the base. Additional bricks are available for $75. If you would like to honor someone or simply wish to have family members' names engraved on a brick contact Mike Milkey at 363-1450. Look for this lovely recent addition to the Deercreek community as you approach our club's circular entrance. |

Highlights of the February, 2010 Deercreek Country Club Owners Association BOARD MEETING
Bernard Vargas
Vila, the property manger from May Management reported that due to the
severe winter weather and the extensive damage to the yards in
Deercreek; violation letters for brown patches will not be sent out
until May. Most yard services and spraying services are indicating that
sod will need to be replaced, so do not wait until the last minute to
replace the sod, if the grass has not returned.
Last Year,
the board approved funds to re-dig the drainage ditch off of Chester
Lake Road North adjacent to the tees on golf hole #5. This project was
necessary to maintain our storm water management system for that area.
The project proved to be logistically challenging in that access with
heavy equipment was not available. As an option, our community
landscaper "Connors Landscaping" stepped in and agreed to accomplish this
task by "hand digging" the entire canal. What a fantastic job they did!
Our hats are off to them for a job well done and now with constant
maintenance by the adjacent homeowners and the association, we look for
this improvement to help in keeping the drainage in this area moving
again.
The Financial committee recommended that
effective January 2011 the Board would require the issuance of the
Deercreek Community Resident Directory to be provided by electronic mail
with printed versions of the directory available for purchase at a
cost. The other cost saving measure recommended by the financial
committee was to have all written correspondence, invoices and reports
sent by electronic mail. These recommendations were referred to the
Communication committee and May Management for research on legalities
and consideration.
The access control liaison Doug Klippel
reported that 15,637 vehicles came through the visitor's lane in
January. In an effort to reduce the waiting time in the visitor lane the
Board approved a new measure where selected vendors with multiple
vehicles; such as yard services and pool cleaners, would have the option
of purchasing restricted access bar codes for the vehicles.
There
were 12 owners who attended the access control meeting to express their
concerns over the new speed bumps placed in the natural area off of
Deercreek Country Club Road. They were concerned that the bumps were too
high and that they caused alignment problems for their cars. The access
control chairman tasked each committee member to test the bumps
themselves . At the next meeting the members were to report if they felt
if the bumps were out of place and to research alternatives.
The
Board was encouraged by three residents who have stepped up to
volunteer their time and services to the community. The Board approved
Skip Yauger as Chair of the Architectural Review Board,( an extension to
his current three year term ) and Buck Pittman an architect (non
resident) to be a member of the ARB at no charge. The Board also
approved Dudley Mendheim as Chair of Covenant Enforcement and Jack
Clancy as Vice-Chair effective May 1, 2010. The Board is still looking
for volunteers for the Communication committee who meets every other
month and the common property committee. Contact George Partin at
519-8729 if you are interested in volunteering for any of the committees
in Deercreek.
Legal liaison Carol D'Onofrio reported on four
properties that were referred for legal action. The Association has
received approximately $9600 which clears another account. The Board
continues to pursue legal action for all property owners in arrears in
an effort to recoup monies. On going delinquent accounts cost the
community in legal fees and property maintenance, ultimately resulting
in increased yearly assessments. Homeowners who are 90 days past due
($over 1000) will have their bar code revoked.
