A Note from the President
The annual membership meeting is over and you have elected Pat Schneider and Angelo Vivelo to serve for another 3 years. The budget for 2012 was presented and unanimously approved. I was very proud of the community –voting was 60%- either by proxy or in person. And over a hundred households were present at the meeting! Keep up the interest in your community!
As most of you have heard, Betty Landes is
going in for hip surgery the first of the year. Therefore the office will
be operating on different hours. Starting January 9th the office will be
open from 9AM to 3PM Monday minutes. The key pad and directions for turning it off and resetting it is on the key pad in the hall across from the office. This alarm is NOT connected to the security company and will not call the police. However, if the doors are opened after 11:30 PM and before 5:30 AM the alarm will go to the security company and the Police. If you have automatic bank draft for your homeowners dues, it will automatically change to the new amount. You do not have to do anything. Joyce Bryant

2000 Heritage Pines Drive Elite Management
Community Thanks To The Following Chairpersons and Their Committees :
Brickman Notes Another Year in Review As 2011 drew to a close and we open the calendar on 2012 we’d like to take a quick minute to thank all of the Heritage Pines Residents for trusting your landscapes to Brickman. Strong relationships are the foundation for Brickman’s quality service. For 70 years, the Brickman family has partnered with the customer to meet and exceed expectations. That tradition of listening and responding to the customer has enabled Brickman to become one of the largest providers of quality landscape services in the nation. But we never lose sight of the most important thing: our relationship with each customer - every day. In reviewing 2011, we feel we’ve continued to make improvements in the management of your landscapes. In July of 2011 we implemented a weekly division of the property that now has a full detail rotation of the property being completed in 5 weeks. Combining this calendared plan with our use of hand pruning has really helped to provide an improved level of consistency with the pruning of the property. Moving into 2012 we will continue to use this planning method along with weekly property inspections that develop our work items for the following week. On Thursday, February 9 at 9:30 am, we will be conducting our annual landscape kick off meeting for all of the residents. In this meeting we will review the planning maps as well as our pruning standards for 2012. Please get your name on the list, and we look forward to seeing you there! As a quick reminder, in the event that you have a concern with your landscape, please contact the clubhouse office to have your name, address, phone number and concern added to our weekly list of items to address. Also, in the event that we have damaged your siding, broken a window or damaged your property in any way, please contact the clubhouse so that we can approve the damages for repair and have you reimbursed. Thank you again for a wonderful year!! The Brickman Team
Grounds Committee We anticipate the application regarding thinning of the buffer along Carpenter Upchurch Road will be submitted to the Town of Cary by the end of December. Once the Town Planning Department has verified that Heritage Pines will meet all requirements to maintain an opaque buffer, the plan will go to our board for review and approval of the work proposals. We expect this work to occur during January and February of 2012. The first phase will be the removal of pine trees and the pruning of lower branches on other trees in the berm. The last phase will include the planting of evergreen shrubs where required, to meet the Town of Cary standards. Should you have a question regarding this project, please call in to the office, leave your name, and a member of the Grounds Committee will return your call as soon as possible. On Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 9:30 AM Chris Maerlender from Brickman will be at Heritage Pines to speak to us. He will be discussing the process implemented this summer of weekly inspections. The community has been divided into five sections, which then allows the Brickman management staff to inspect 20% of the property each week, and focus on the necessary details of those properties during that week. Other topics expected to be covered are pruning and leaf removal. There will be time for questions and answers. Please plan to attend. Sign up in the February newsletter. |
