Preserve HOA Spring 2013 Newsletter

Hello everyone! Thanks to all for working hard to make the Preserve a great looking neighborhood! It was a great sunny day to kick off the season and get started.  We wanted to take a few minutes and share upcoming events, important dates, and general Home Owners Association (HOA) information.

Please take a few minutes to check it out at www.thepreservemanliusny.com If there are any problems connecting on Facebook please just contact a member of the board.

Welcome to all Home Owners

The neighborhood always has new people moving in. Welcome to all new homeowners.  This is a friendly community and most everyone is willing to lend a hand.  Please feel free to reach out to the board with any questions.    

Garage Sale

Our annual garage sale is Saturday, June 1st has been selected as the annual Preserve Garage Sale.  Advertisements will be run in local papers to help get people here.  There is no fee to participate so go through your stuff and make some easy money.

Unwanted Junk Pick Up

   Couldn’t sell everything during the sale? The dumpsters will be available Friday June 7th by 4 and picked up Saturday 8th by 4 PM. Please do not throw any hazardous materials, tires, microwaves, TV’s, computers, paint or anything w/ Freon.  These must be properly recycled through OCRRA.  Please break down all large items to minimize space these items may take up. Please do not leave items outside the dumpster.

Illegal Dumping

It is illegal to dump anything, to include yard waste anywhere in the Preserve. A concern is where we locate the dumpsters. Some residents have been using the end of the road there to dump a number of items. The property adjoining this road is private property and belongs to neither the nearby residents nor the Preserve.

The Annual Meeting

As laid out in the By-Laws of the HOA, each year a meeting of all the residents in The Preserve must be conducted.  This year’s annual meeting has been scheduled for Saturday, September 7th at 2 PM with a rain date of September 14th.

Block Party

Last year we had the annual block party catered by the Dinosaur BBQ again.  It was a great hit.  Please let us know if you have any new suggestions regarding this fun filled annual party. This year we are planning on holding another block party, immediately after the annual meeting.

Speed and Safety in the Neighborhood

Please pay attention to the speed limits and stop signs.  We have lots of kids in the neighborhood that might not always look both ways before darting into the road.  At the last meeting, several residents expressed concerns and asked if the town could lower the established speed limits. Pompey deferred, stating that the speed limits are state jurisdiction and it did not have the authority to change the limit.

Starting an Addition, Pool or other Project?

Please consult the website under the Modifications tab for the proper procedure. There is an Architectural Committee that needs to approve your planned project BEFORE the project can begin. Modifications, additions or alterations undertaken without prior approval by the Board of Directors are subject to removal, at the homeowner’s expense. Above-ground pools are not allowed in the Preserve.

Pets

Please remember to curb your dog. The Town of Pompey has a MANDATORY leash law.

Campers, Boats etc.

Please know that campers, boats and other items are not allowed to be stored in your driveway. In the past, there has been a one week maximum in your driveway with the understanding that it is only temporary to allow transition to storage or another place.

Satellite Dish Installation

Please know that satellite dish installation is an addition that must be applied for through the HOA. All of our residents want to maintain that curb appeal that brought us to the Preserve. Planning to attach it to the house or nearby with some beautiful landscaping is all it takes!
