National Night Out  
Both the Fire Dept. and Police Dept. vehicles and personal were on hand at our August 2, 2016 event. A good time was had by all. Good food, ice cream, and water. A magician entertained the kids and adults with some good old magic. The event was well attended but we had room for more so next year mark your calendar and plan on attending. Keep an eye out for the date and time announcement in a future newsletter.

Traffic Issues / Witte Road Construction
The Board has appointed a Traffic Committee to address mitigating solutions that could help slow down drivers within our HOA and make them more aware of just how fast that they are going. The committee is studying various options and welcomes any suggestions and/or comments. Please address your thoughts to jfmcknightinc@gmail.com

Mail Box Replacement Phase 2
At its August 17th Board Meeting the Board voted to purchase 2 new cluster mailboxes to be used to replace all of the non-lockable mail boxes on 255th Street and 223 Ct. The new boxes will be placed on 255th Street behind the 14th tee box where a mailbox bump-out already exists. The cost is estimated to be $4,000.00 with installation to take place mid-September. Once the new mailboxes are up and running all three of the current roofed structures will be removed This newsletter is to serve as a 30-day notice of this action.

Traffic Issues / Witte Road Construction
On June 8th we hosted a meeting to discuss traffic issues within our HOA. Attending the meeting was Laura Philpot City of Maple Valley Public Works Director and now acting City Manager, DJ Nesel Chief of Police, and the City Engineer. The meeting was well attended by property owners along with 4 of our Board Members.

The good news is that according to Laura Philpot the Witte Road construction traffic will not be routed thru our HOA and that the project will not start till summer of 2017.

Everyone agreed that vehicle speeds within our HOA while a bit higher than the posted speed limit were not deemed a critical issue but there are measures that can be taken that have a chance of slowing down the traffic. These include painting the speed limit on the roadway and other painting techniques. Speed limit message boards are expensive but could be available. The city is open to working with us as we move forward. The Board will be addressing this issue at upcoming meetings. Your input is most welcome

Mail Box Replacement Phase 2
The Board will be addressing this issue at its next meeting on July 20th 5:15 PM at the club house (upstairs)
Discussion will center around the location of the three new mailboxes. All property owners that are impacted are encouraged to attend.

Important Reminder, our CC&R’s preclude overnight street parking. All of your vehicles must be parked either in your garage, or on your driveway. Notices are being sent out and fines could result in not abiding by this requirement.
