Eagle Nest Blog

Now that spring is here -- and the rains that go with it -- Eagle Nest has come alive with flowers, budding trees and bushes and lots of lush green grass. It’s so refreshing to see the development looking so good -- a fine example of the pride, care and attention our neighbors give their homes and properties. This season makes it clear why our Eagle Next is so popular and the envy of surrounding neighborhoods. Unfortunately, about a dozen properties in the development have let their yards go a bit, with most meeting or exceeding the city’s height limit for grass and noxious weeds like dandelions ( Click here to read the ordinance ).

A reminder to all Eagle Nest residents that the deadline to submit your 2016 Annual Dues of $350 is Saturday, April 30. On May 1, any unpaid lots are considered late and forfeit the $40 credit extended by the Board earlier this year. On June 1, any unpaid lots will be turned over to the Association's lawyer for collection and subject to late fees and court filing costs. We hope it won't come to that, of course. Historically, Eagle Nest residents have had an excellent history of paying on time, and that has helped avoid dues increases for nearly a decade. Only three or four lots failed to pay last year, resulting in collection proceedings and in some cases liens. At this writing about one-third of the neighborhood still show balances due. Obviously, that leaves a big chunk of change to collect by Saturday. If you haven't submitted your dues, please ensure it is postmarked by April 30, or better yet, drop it in the secure mailbox in front of the Clubhouse, 8075 Teel Way...

The City of Indianapolis last week announced the launch of upgrades to RequestIndy, a free online portal and mobile application for iOS and Android devices. RequestIndy was initially launched in 2010 and has taken more than 243,000 requests. This app allows users to report problems and place requests for city services with the Mayor’s Action Center (MAC) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.   This upgrade will provide contact address validation, which will aid in creating an accurate record and allow the MAC to more efficiently provide updates to constituents.
