SLEEPY HOLLOW
CLUSTER HOME ASSOCIATION
WELCOME!
We can't believe we have to say this
It has come to our attention that someone has been throwing large items into the pond. Please do not do that - It looks terrible. Our neighbor, who owns the majority of the pond, does not appreciate it and it can disrupt the ecosystem of the pond.
Our next Annual Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 11, 2024 at the Brunswick V.F.W. Hall on South Carpenter. Details will be mailed to homeowners prior to the meeting.
Summer Updates
Special Holiday Schedule Notice from Lamphear's: Due to the short holiday week, Lamphear's will be adjusting their service schedule to ensure that all properties receive the necessary attention while accommodating the holiday. To ensure that all properties are maintained to our high standards, they will be working diligently to complete as many services as possible on the regular and adjusted service days. They appreciate your understanding and patience as they manage this condensed schedule.
Lamphear's will once again be providing our lawn trimming this year. The rainy weather and "swampy lawns" have presented a few issues with the lawn mowing, but they have assured us they will be mowing on a regular basis. Please Let us know if you have any concerns regarding their service.
Lamphear's just completed some front yard cleanup and bush trimming in late June.
There will be no mulch provided for 2024. If you decide to put down your own mulch, please remember to use only black colored mulch to maintain a consistent community appearance.
We ask all residents to please do not store large items that are not considered "lawn decorations" in their front yard for extended periods of time. Please use your garage and patio for long term storage.
Would YOU like to guide the direction of the Association and make the decisions that support all our homeowners? Why not consider becoming a Trustee this September. It's a 3 year assignment and we have only 1 meeting every month. There will be several openings in the Fall that will need to be filled. Please consider becoming involved in this very important part of your community.
Did you know that we have something in our Covenants regarding pets? Section 3.15 covers what is permitted and expected from every property owner in our Association that may own pets.
Ohio Revised Code Section 955.22 specifies that all dogs must be either confined to your property or be under reasonable control at all times. Letting your dog out the door, for instance, is not normally considered reasonable control, unless it is on a leash.
All we ask is that if you allow your pet to go outside that you maintain control over them via your supervision or a leash, pick up after them and be mindful of any barking that might disturb your neighbors.
Landscaping & Maintenance
We recently added two new benches by the pond. The benches are made of a composite material and should provide us with many years of use. We will keep one of the old benches by the pond and will place the other one on the east walking trail.
The mailbox painting and repairs project has been completed. We will be treating them for bees shortly.
We are now planning on "Phase II" of the entrance landscaping project. This would include both sides of the Brittany entrance and should be completed by Fall.
We are also working on several other projects to improve the look of our common areas and some minor road & drain repairs.
New: Update to the Rules
Rule 5/28/2024: On May 28, 2024, the Board of Directors passed the following new Rule: There will be no swimming, floating, or watercraft allowed on the pond. The Association owns a very small portion of the pond and there are no safe access points to the water from the Association’s property. Fishing from the shore is allowed and is catch and release only. There is no fine for breaking this rule, but the local authorities or the pond’s owner may be notified.
Please take some time to review all our rules. Here is the link.
