Reduced HOA Fees, First Year Of Holiday Lights & More In Copper Ridge
By Hannah Goeckner
The homeowner’s association fees for Copper Ridge residents will be reduced by $30 for the year of 2015. This will turn out to be
$82.50 each quarter. The Homeowners Board decided to reduce the fee with a suitable reserve that will cover 2015’s anticipated budget. This will be Copper Ridge’s first reduction in fees since the neighborhood’s establishment. The next HOA fee is due by January 1, 2015.
Brightly colored lights will be hung up at all Copper Ridge entrances for this year’s holiday season. Neighborhood board members have decided to add festive red, green and white lights to give the suburb a seasonal touch. This is the first year Copper Ridge has fashioned Christmas lights, and will be displayed by November. In addition to the entrance decorations, the board has a secret festive arrangement that will be presented in the neighborhood.
Several thousand feet of damaged and falling wooden fencing will be replaced on the Lumsden extension, railroad tracks, and the Amber Ridge side of the community. In addition to the repaired fencing, several of the Copper Ridge community signs will be replaced or repainted. The signs have long suffered sun damage, years of weathering, and vandalism. Both projects will be underway before the end of the year. The Witt fencing company will be working on the fences and will give any homeowner the same discount as the HOA for those who would like to replace their fence. Keep in mind the discount rate will depend on how many homeowners book on the same day.
The Board is working diligently to keep the neighborhood to exceptional standard. Mailboxes and garbage cans remain as the largest violation. In order for residents to help better the community, please do the following:
- Clean up after your pets.
- Don’t litter in your community.
- Help clean up any litter seen while out on walks.
- Bring in trash bins on the same day of pickup.
- Mow your lawns.
- Keep your mailboxes clean.
- Do not park in the grass or block your neighbor’s driveway.
