Hello Eagle Nest residents, Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of February 22: A WORD (OR TWO) ABOUT SNOW REMOVAL We hope everyone stayed safe during the last week’s back-to-back snowfalls, a challenging two days with accumulations ranging from 7 to 9 inches and unusually cold temperatures. The Board thanks residents for their cooperation in keeping the streets clear so our plowing contractors could do their jobs safely and efficiently. Unfortunately, there were a few homeowners who didn’t comply with our request to move vehicles, and that impeded our snow-removal efforts in areas. Overall, though, things worked as planned. In case you’re wondering, here’s our approach to plowing: Anything over 3 inches is plowed, depending on forecast. The main thoroughfare of Teel Way is plowed first before any courts. Courts initially receive one plow blade into the cul-de-sac and back out to provide emergency vehicle access, not a complete clearing. This is done so all courts have acce...

Hello Eagle Nest residents, Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of February 15: BE CONSIDERATE, BE SAFE: MOVE VEHICLES BEFORE IT SNOWS With the potential for heavy snowfall this week, the Board kindly asks all residents keep our streets clear of vehicles so our plowing contractor can do his work quickly, safely and efficiently. Unfortunately, several residents left their vehicles in the road during the last snow, resulting in hazardous piles of snow and ice around plowed in vehicles, many of which haven’t been moved since. (Some have expired plates, too, so we suggest you move them asap or they will be reported to the city for towing.) Areas of concern: 7900 block of Shrike Court 7800 block of Teel Way 8400 block of Sandpiper Court 8300 block of Heron Court 7800 block of Tanager Lane 8000 block of Bittern Lane Please, be considerate. Move your vehicles into your driveway or garage when snow is forecast, no matter how much is expected. For everyone’s safety. Thanks. IMPD PLA...

Hello Eagle Nest residents, Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of February 8: HOW YOU CAN HELP MAKE OUR SNOW REMOVAL EFFECTIVE When it snows, we all expect the Association to address the roads in a timely, effective fashion. And with few exceptions, that historically has been the case, thanks to our longtime plowing contractor and our Clubhouse manager’s coordination. However, this year’s recent snows have been especially challenging. It wasn’t because of big precipitation, high winds or freezing rain. The problem was numerous vehicles left in the streets. Such obstacles complicate the plowing process and actually wind up costing the Association more because of the extra labor hours required to adjust plowing paths. Also, several vehicles moved after plowing left behind large ice piles, creating road hazards for motorists, especially during deep-freeze periods with little thawing. So, we kindly ask, please move your vehicles into your driveway or garage when snow is foreca...
