Board Update: Cleaning up a trashy neighborhood look, Meet the Neighbors series needs you, safety poll results

REMINDER: STORE YOUR GARBAGE ROLLCART OUT OF SIGHT Now that the nice weather is here (hopefully to stay!), we know more residents have been cleaning out garages and getting a jump on yard work. Unfortunately, more residents have made a habit of storing their Republic trash and recycling roll carts in the open -- in the driveway, on front sidewalks, or on the front corner of a garage in plain view of the development. Not just once in a while, but all the time. Such placement violates our Declarations of Restrictions (Section 5F), one of the legally binding documents that governs our development. We're not talking about one or two houses with carts in plain view; a recent inspection of the development found more than 50 homes in violation. That’s not a good look for the neighborhood. Kind of trashy, actually (pun intended). Sure, we understand life happens, that people go on vacation, that neighbors forget to put them away when you can't. We know that putting the carts away may b

Hello Eagle Nest residents, Here is a look at neighborhood news for the week of March 15: SUSPICIOUS MAIL INCIDENT ON TEEL, PHOTOGRAPHER ON WARBLER WAY This afternoon, Monday, March 15, a resident in the 7700 block of Teel Way noticed a black SUV traveling North on Teel Way stopping at every mail box and either taking or delivering items. It seemed odd, according to the resident, because it did not appear to be an official postal vehicle. This incident comes on the heels of last week’s report of a suspicious person who walked onto the driveway of a home in the 8400 block of Tanager Lane to take photos of vehicles. Nothing was taken and no one was hurt, and the trespasser drove away in a blue minivan/SUV-type vehicle. Turns out, a resident on Warbler Way reported a similar incident that same week, so please keep your vehicles locked and ensure valuables are out of sight at all times. These three incidents may be unrelated, but regardless, if you see something suspicious, please call 911

Hello Eagle Nest residents, Your favorite neighborhood blog is back this week after a short hiatus (aka vacation). Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of March 8: BOARD UPDATES SIGNAGE POLICY; COPY COMING IN MAIL From the not-so-interesting-but-important-to-know category: The Board recently updated the Development’s Signage Policy and recorded it with Marion County as part of our legally binding Declarations of Restrictions. Click here to read the updated Signage Policy . A copy also will be mailed to all residents in the next week or so. Why should residents care? We all have an interest in maintaining the neighborhood’s aesthetics, and that means keeping our lots, intersections and common grounds free of excessive, worn or distracting signage, particularly yard signs with expired messaging. We also needed to codify and adopt updated standards, ensure consistency and provide legal standing for corrective action, if needed, throughout the Development. Bottomline: It’s all a
