A Note from the President By the time you receive your newsletter the clubhouse will be open – good news for all of us !!! The Board would like to thank everyone for their patience these last four months. A lot of time and effort by many people went into making these changes and the Board hopes you all will use and enjoy the improvements. A special thanks to Debra Young, our decorator, who gave guidance on materials and colors and great suggestions on cutting costs. And Laura Caldwell, our Property Manager, who acted as our liaison with all the trades people and venders. Also Betty Landes, who got stuck with the odds and ends of things that needed to be done as well as do her regular job off site. The finishing touches on the decorating will continue in the coming months but the clubhouse is open for full use. We hope you will take pride in the "new" clubhouse and treat it as you would your own home.

Serenity Pond news He supplied us with a report stating that we were in compliance with all agencies that had jurisdiction over the ponds and areas surrounding them. We had done nothing wrong in cutting vegetation as the Serenity Pond is not in a riparian buffer. Also the applications of fertilizer around the ponds were in compliance with DWQ guidelines.
These reports will be posted on the bulletin
board in the clubhouse for those who are interested in reading them.
For accurate information contact a member of the
board. Relying on Before anyone files a complaint with a government agency, he or she should bring the problem they believe exists to the board. We recently incurred a large expense having to establish that we were in compliance with a government regulation, which had not been an issue before a complaint was made. By the way, the ponds belong to the homeowners association, and not to any individual homeowner or homeowners.
Property values can only be maintained if
everyone cooperates. Your property value is decreased if your neighbor’s
property isn’t maintained. Power washing, mulching, painting mailbox posts,
etc. all are required of homeowners. So is the care of privacy fences.

PINE STRAW BAN IS PASSED BY THE TOWN OF CARY
Yet another busy month here at Heritage Pines!
Summer is in full swing and the hot temps are upon us. Please make sure that
you are irrigating responsibly, especially between you and your neighbor (if
you both are irrigating then the area is getting twice the water!!!)
The Town of Cary recently passed its version of
the pine straw ban. "The rule bans using pine straw within 10 feet of
multifamily dwellings and commercial buildings with combustible exteriors,
such as vinyl, aluminum, Masonite or wood siding. The rules do not apply to
detached, single-family dwellings. (WRAL.com)" From the Town of Cary’s
website: "No pine straw or any other landscape cover material with a fire
rate of spread more than 24 inches per minute shall be placed, kept, or
stored within 10 feet of buildings with combustible exterior construction
including, but not limited to, vinyl, aluminum, Masonite, or wood siding."
"(a)Exception: Detached single family
residential structures not utilized as an "R-4 Home Daycare"
or "R-4 Residential Care Home‖ as defined in the
North Carolina Building Code."
"(b)Civil Penalties: Violations not abated
within (7) days of a written notice shall constitute a $250.00 per day
fine." "The rules go into effect immediately. Violators will first get a
written notice, but if violations aren't corrected in seven days, a $250
daily fine will be assessed." Effective May 13, 2010.
With these impending regulations, all residents
should consider the installation of mulch around their homes with a mulch
other thank pine straw. The mulches recommended by the Town of Cary are
Large Pine Bark Mulch, Small Pine Bark Mulch, Cypress Mulch, and Hardwood
Mulch. Brickman recommends Pine Straw Distributors for your mulching needs,
please contact them via their website at
http://www.psdnc.com or
calling their office at (919) 233-3440 to schedule you mulch installation.
Again, we would like to thank you for allowing
us the opportunity to continue to improve the landscape at Heritage Pines!
