Following up on a suggestion that was presented at the Neighborhood meeting, it was asked that if support for maintaining the pool and tennis areas dropped to a level that it could no longer be maintained, could the property could be rezoned residential to allow the building of additional homes in the community? This question was presented to Loredana Stoica, who works at the Planning and Development Department at One Justice Square in Lawrenceville.  Speaking about the the lot on which the common area currently sits, she mentioned : "This lot is currently designated as a Recreational Area within the subdivision, and as such, residential development is not allowed. Subdivision developments are governed by specific standards, one of which includes the requirement for open spaces, such as recreational areas, to be preserved for the benefit of homeowners. 

Over time, homeowners associations (HOAs) dissolve, these recreational areas often become available for sale. New buyers may see this as a valuable opportunity, but in reality, it’s not.

To convert a recreational area to a residential lot, the property owner must obtain the signatures of all homeowners within the subdivision. Given the complexity of this process, we strongly recommend consulting with legal professionals. Once the signatures are collected, the subdivision will need to be replated to officially remove the recreational area designation. However, when the replat comes in for review, current subdivision standards require that at least 10% of the original recreational area be preserved. 

Also, upon further investigation this lot has floodplain on both sides. We have development ordinances that prohibits residential construction in floodplain areas. The surrounding area, including a vacant lot behind the rec area, is affected by the floodplain, as well as a sewer pipe running through it. Additionally, the Yellow River running through the property imposes a 75-foot buffer on both sides, further limiting development opportunities.

In conclusion, there is a slim possibility for future development, but it would be a highly complex, lengthy, and costly process. The primary barrier remains the need for homeowner signatures, and there is always the risk of encountering one homeowner who is unresponsive or unwilling to sign."

Outlined below is the floodplain limits with grey marker for a better visual.

Please help us in maintaining the common areas with your membership support.

State of Finances: Recapping some points from the Neighborhood Meeting on October 27th, our starting balance was $1,376 for 2024.  We had 20 members that signed up last year. This along with the two fund raising events helped to bring in a total of $9,723 for total funds of $11,099. Total costs for the year amounted to 8874 which leaves a starting balance of $2,225 for 2025. Thanks to all our members who signed up last year, to those that volunteered their time to help out and to all those that attended our events to help support your neighborhood recreational association. 

Board Changes: We are sorry to hear that two of our board members have stepped down. Louse Crumbly and Donna Buttler. We thank them for all the support they have provided to the community these past few years and wish them well as they move onto new chapters of their lives. This opens up positions to those that would like to volunteer in helping their community. If you are interested, please speak with Jeff Killion.  Thank you. 

Crossroads: We continue to reach out to the community for your support to maintain the pool and tennis facilities. Can you become a member this year? Your support will help to keep the facilities open and operating. Without the communities support, we will not be able to keep the facilities open.  With your help, we can make our 2025 season a pleasant time for everyone. Thank you.

Today is the last day the pool will be open before it closes for the season. Feel free to come down and cool off. If we don't see you today, then we hope that you have enjoyed cooling off at the pool this summer. 

Although the pool is set to close for the season, the fun is not over yet. We hope that you will come out and join us for more events planned for the fall season.

You are finally ready to throw away that old couch or that old mattress. It's as simple as placing it out on the curve the night before trash pickup, right? Yet, there it is the next day. Why didn't the garbage truck haul it away with the rest of the trash? Don't they pickup bulky items? The answer is yes, they do, but you need to call them in advance and let them know that you have a bulky item that needs hauled away. Want to learn more about your waste pickup and what you need to do? Go to the Republic Services website and get informed. You will never have to spend weeks looking at the couch on your front curve  wondering... will they haul it away this week? Republic Services
