AUGUST 2021
Just a reminder that all Farmstead owners are invited to join the monthly Board meetings. Our Board meetings have been moved to the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm via Zoom. This change will begin with our August 17th meeting. If you would like to attend, please contact Diane at CB Property Management no later than the Friday prior to the meeting and you will be emailed an invite link. 358-0040 or email cbpmdiane@aol.com.
I will be on vacation September 1 and returning on September 9. Both Dennis and Courtney can handle the day to day needs as well as emergency situations for Farmstead. If you have something unique or different you want to discuss with Management, please wait until I return to contact the office. Thanks!!
We have many residents who volunteer their time, hard work and own money to maintain the several common garden beds throughout the property. And they look lovely!! We have had a few issues lately with damages to the flowers, one garden was driven over and a few residents allow their dogs to do their “business” in these common gardens. Please take consideration when near the gardens, admire the beauty of them and appreciate all your neighbors have done to make the gardens as beautiful as they are!
Units 37-48 were scheduled to be pressure washed in July However, the work was delayed due to weather. The building has now been washed and looks great!! Stebbins Painting will be painting the doors and front porch trim on this building. Dennis will be painting the doors of the other buildings that were not done when the buildings were painted. All will be notified when this door painting will begin.
Be on the lookout! The Board of Directors and CB Property Management will be sending out a brief survey to all owners. This survey is a preliminary way to gather your thoughts on the priority of various maintenance needs. (Asphalt redone vs. siding repair, new gutters vs. grounds improvement etc.) Be sure to complete the survey, add any thoughts you may have on the topics as well, and return the survey to CB Property Management in the included self addressed stamped envelope as soon as possible!
The Board and CB Property Management recently walked the grounds with Arborist Jonathan Royce from Arbor Climb. He will be sending some recommendations for tree removal (safety) and replacement plantings. The Board will review this proposal and begin a “tree plan”.
We are having some concerns with residents that are parking in visitor spaces on a regular basis for extended amounts of time. Each unit has one parking space with 70 having a carport as well. Each unit is allowed two (2) cars. All cars “belonging” to a unit need to park in their assigned space or carport. Units without a carport, the second car must park along the entrance road in overflow parking – where parking is first come-first served. Please do not park in a guest space; these spaces need to be available for visitors.
We still would like the e-mail address of every one at Farmstead so we can send newsletters and notices to you electronically. We won’t “abuse” the privilege; we promise notices and newsletters will be all you get from us. Electronic communication is faster, more convenient, less expensive and it saves a tree! Contact my office at cbpmdiane@aol.com with your current email so we can add you to the Farmstead group email!
School will open soon and if you drive your children to the bus stop at the intersection of the Farmstead Entrance Road and Base Hill Road, please don’t park on the side of the Entrance Road so you block the line of sight for others leaving the complex. Park in one of the parking spaces nearby and walk with your child to the bus stop. It’s safer for everyone.
