A question still lies on the minds of
many, “Why does The Barrington have its own HOA?” The Barrington is part
of Northwood’s Master Association but pays an
additional fee to cover the maintenance of their lawns. Evergreen
Landscaping provides an irrigational system and lawn care service to the
residents of
Barrington.Residents of
Barrington please take note **Evergreen Landscaping monitors our water
irrigation to keep our lawns looking lush and green. The water used in
irrigating our lawns is already included in our water bill, regardless
of use. This past year, we had many residents turning off the water or
changing the setting on their timers on their own. Please allow
Evergreen to monitor our water consumption, as they know the amount of
water needed to maintain healthy
lawns. This is NOT voluntary. Anyone changing the water irrigation
system will be charged the cost of replacing your own sod if it is
damaged due to your
tampering with the timers. Thank you for your cooperation in this
matter.
To be more consistent and efficient,
the Barrington home owner’s board has changed management companies from
UPI to Communities of America, as of
January 1, 2006. The fee will remain the same; the difference will be in
the way the community will be handled. It will make our lives in
Barrington a little less
complicated since we know only one management company will be overseeing
all of our needs.
Some of the changes this year will be:
new sod in places that were in need of replacement (this was completed
in November 2005), mulch will be
replaced in the spring, mailboxes will be replaced (pending approval
from the HOA) and once the budget has been fulfilled, tree trimming will
take place to
ensure the correct development of the trees in our section. Other items
we would like to address this year are the sewer covers, which are in
need of power washing and paint. If you would like to be involved with
this project, please call Barrington President, Nancy Irvine.
A friendly reminder that it is your
responsibility to power wash your house, as well as your driveway and
sidewalk. To keep our neighborhood looking neat and
clean, we will be doing a power wash blitz in the spring. More info.
Will be printed in the next newsletter.
Barrington would also like to put
together a block party in the spring to welcome our new neighbors.
Anyone wishing to help with this project please call any of the Board |
