Be advised that Top Gun Seal Coating will be at the Property 2 days next week {weather permitting} Mon-Tues -, Wed-Thurs. or any combo next week to fill cracks on the roadway--- You will be able to drive over the cracks within an hour time. Seal coating the roadway is delayed until warmer weather returns.
For Homeowners who wish to have their driveways sealed or repaired (black topped): (The Board has negotiated a sealing price that is approximately $100 +/- per driveway, depending on the number of units that decide to have this work done. Repair costs will be more.)
If interested, call Top Gun Seal Coating @ 914-769-3444, leave a message and they will get back to you ASAP. (Leave them a number where they can reach you to discuss your driveways.) Top Gun will be dealing with each Homeowner individually. If there are any questions regarding this procedure please contact Tom Pallman the Property Manager at 914-760-4827 to discuss your issue.
Driveway work will be done after the road is seal coated.
The Board also discussed:
Opening the Pool for Homeowners in May.
Ron Vitti Turf & Landscaping contract for sprinkler maintenance. Sprinklers will be opened and inspected in April and close the sprinklers in October for $1,890.00..
CertaPro is scheduled to be available at Brookridge at the end of May for painting "touch-up". Homeowners who would like to have CertaPro repair or “touch-up” areas of their units should contact Tom Pallman at Stillman.
The Board is exploring a new bylaw that will be presented to the HOA at the Annual meeting. This bylaw will require a deposit of a refundable membership fee for new home owners. The fee will cover some of the setup costs and defray the costs of any future arrears. The deposit fee would be refunded to the home owner upon sale of the Unit.
Any Homeowner who wishes to participate in the organic garden please contact Monica Teuscher.
