LAKE WILDERNESS PROJECT UPDATES:

1) Around the Clock will be providing a Release of Liability document to the Board, so that they may obtain signatures from those homeowners who have expressed an interest in maintaining the calming circle at SE 250 th Street.

2) Our landscaping company (Ramo’s Lawn Service) will be removing some shrubs in front of the Lake Wilderness sign (righthand side as you are entering the neighborhood) in April

NEIGHBORHOOD PET ETIQUETTE:

While we love our furry friends, they don’t always understand neighborhood bathroom do’s and don’ts. Please remind them that homeowners work very hard to keep their lawns lush and green (urine kills grass), and that while they may find that lush and green lawn hard to resist, resist they must.

NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALKS:

1) Please keep sidewalks clear from overgrown shrubs and overhanging trees. Trim back those trees that hang over sidewalks to a height of at least over 6ft, and trim back any vegetation that has extended onto the sidewalks.
2) Please do not park vehicles on the sidewalks.

TRASH/REFUSE/RECYCLE INFO:

Many residents like to walk, run, bike or skateboard using the sidewalks throughout our neighborhood. Come Monday trash pick-up day, though, this is difficult to do with cans blocking the sidewalks. It is acceptable with Recology Cleanscapes to place your cans in the street, up against the sidewalk. Please think about placing your cans on the street to allow for sidewalk activity.

We currently have one available seat on the LWHOA Board

LWHOA BOARD MEETING UPDATE:

Board meetings are still being held virtually and this may become the new normal of the future. Because of this, we see an opportunity to improve communication for the HOA Board, Lake Wilderness Residents, and Around the Clock. We’d like to ask that you send your e-mail address to James at Around the Clock ( themanagementteam@lwhoa.com ). E-mails will, of course, be kept confidential and will only be used by the HOA and Around the Clock to communicate to the Lake Wilderness Residents.

LAKE WILDERNESS PROJECT UPDATES:

1. With so many residents remodeling the inside and outside of their homes, it only seemed fitting that the Board should take on the task of having the Lake Wilderness front entrance refurbished. The front entrance monument has been in place for more than 30 years I am told and has never had a “freshening up.” The Board hired Aron Norton, owner of Cutting Edge Brick and Stone Masonry, who just so happens to be a neighborhood resident. The entire monument was pressure washed, repaired, re-laid, and re-grouted. It really looks fabulous now and has improved the look of the neighborhood, so thank you Aron!
2. The Board had the landscaping company come in and remove the dead tree located in the calming circle of SE 250 th . The Board has had communication with the
   residents in that cul-de-sac as they have expressed an interest in maintaining the calming circle. The offer to maintain is very much appreciated. Thank you!
3. The Board is also researching removing some shrubs in front of the Lake Wilderness sign on the right side as you are entering the neighborhood … more to come on that.

We have a new Board Member for 2021 – Please welcome Donna Bergeron!

Donna provided us with a short bio: I am a Washington native. My husband and I purchased our home in Lakek Wilderness in July of 2018 after having looked for a rambler for almost 5 years. We love the community and are thrilled to be there. We have 3 grown children all in the area and 5 grandchildren. I spent 40 years in the real estate industry but have been retired for quite some time. We currently spend a few months in Arizona but also enjoy some international travel. Golf and working in our yard are our summer hobbies.

PERMANENT GENERATORS:

Due to the recent inclement weather permanent generators have become a topic. It’s the Board’s understanding that permanent generators do need to be started every 30 days and allowed to run for a few minutes to circulate oil throughout the engine. With that said, the Board would like to hear from you. How do you feel about residents installing permanent generators in the neighborhood? Please provide James at Around the Clock (themanagementteam@lwhoa.com) with your
input.
