MEMO TO ALL RESIDENTS OF COUNTRY CLUB RIDGE

 DECEMBER 4, 2003
 

 The following information highlights the November 19, 2003 meeting of the Board of Directors and is presented to you to keep you up to date on the issues at Country Club Ridge.

1.  We continue to have problems with residents placing garbage outside their apartments/maisonnettes at incorrect times. Please adhere to the times in the House Rules.

     2.   Reminder that storage room keys for the appropriate storage rooms are available in the Maintenance Office. Please drop by to pick up a key to any storage room in which you have things stored. We remind you that anything you store in these rooms is stored at your own risk.

     3.   A computer has been purchased for the Maintenance office. Soon we will have email access to both the Board and to the Maintenance crew. Also, a CCR website is being created. Stay tuned for more on this...

 4.   The property assessment by Carnell Engineering is well underway. The Board will meet soon to determine what major projects for maintenance need to be undertaken and in what order. More on this later as well....
 

5. New landscapers are being interviewed and one will be chosen soon.

6. A reminder that notices about star rebates on maintenance costs have gone out. If you expect a star rebate and have not yet been notified of this, please call Akam or the Greenburgh Town Offices.

7. We have received bids on costs to have Rockledge Road painted with designated parking spaces. Since it is expensive, and it is not our property, we are trying to work through town government channels to have the Town do this. If you want to help us, call Mr. Feiner , Greenburgh Town Supervisor, and urge him to respond to our request.

8. We have received word that the Town will be moving the handicapped space by the pool entry once the spring comes. The paint won't adhere to cold road surfaces.

9. We remind you that there are simply NOT ENOUGH parking spaces (garages included!) on our property for us to assign each apartment a parking space. We also remind you that even if we did convert the property where the vegetable gardens are presently located into parking, it would only provide a maximum of 20 more spaces. This also will not solve our problem and would be EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. Additionally, we have no control over the Town of Greenburgh's parking policy. If you have complaints about parking or other vehicular misdeeds on the Town's property (ie Rockledge Road), or would like to see changes, please address the proper TOWN authority  (Paul Feiner, Greenburgh Town Supervisor). That being said, new house rules have been approved by the Board and a new parking sticker procedure is going to be in place by mid-January. This may not solve the problem, but we hope it will alleviate it. Finally, if you see cars that are illegally parked on our property, call the Maintenance office to have them towed or booted. If you see cars doing something illegal on Town property, call the local police to resolve the issue.  Everyone must pitch in to make this work. 
    

10. The Board is aware of several requests for us to get satellite TV to replace cable. We have investigated and know of no other complex in Westchester that has made the leap to Satellite yet. This factor, and the fact that it would be an additional expense to ALL while we could not guarantee successful reception due to trees, leads us to say that satellite is not for us for now. We all sympathize - we hate cable, too!
