Neighborhood Talk: "Doggy Do?"

Here is a post from a Mainstreet Neighbors Blog reader:

"Dogs do.... OWNERS MUST!!! Please pick up your dog's waste! The common areas of our community are for everyone! Dog ownership is your right but it is my right to walk through my neighborhood (even walk my dog!) without having to step around your filth! It is unsanitary, it is unsightly, and it is aganist the law. Please do your part. CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOGS!!!!"

Neighborhood Talk: Fountain At The Green

Here is a recent post from a Mainstreet Neighbors Blog reader:

"It is my understanding that the fountain has been repaired multiple times (Fountains and Such in Savannah). We would all love to have a functioning fountain but this might not be workable.

The original workmanship must have been pretty shoddy. Unfortunately builders and developers in this area do a great job putting a gilt facade over poor workmanship (notice major issues with several "New" "luxury" homes in our community.)

Perhaps the community would consider instigating a lawsuit against the contracters who first installed this shoddy structure. Perhaps we could force them to repair and or replace the damaged unit?Bring your questions and concerns to HOA meetings. It is still the best way to be heard! Remeber the officers of the HOA are volunteers and need your help to make our community great!"

Neighborhood Talk: New Richmond Hill Elementary School

Here is a recent post from a neighbor:

ALL,

I encourage you all to start a letter writing campaign about the proposed filling of the wetlands for the new school to be located near Carver Elementary.Regardless if you have been paying attention to this issue or not, the Board of Education has not done the proper studies to make sure that their project won't negatively impact our community.We need to write letters to the Corps of Engineers stating that we at least get a public hearing about this matter so we can ask questions about it and its potential impact to us.

Note: This is an urgent matter, the request letters were due on Sept. 30th, but none of us was properly notified by the Corps or the Board of Education because they were trying to get this FILL PERMIT approved without us knowing anything about it. They did not even talk to the City of Richmond Hill about this matter. The Corps of Engineers has agreed to extend the period for 2 more days to seek public response.

PLEASE WRITE YOUR LETTERS NOW!If you have any questions about this, please contact Stan Knight at the Corps of Engineers, Savannah District Office, 912-652-5348.

I have copies of the 38 pages of information regarding this project, they are located at my office on HWY 17, just past the train tracks on the right side in the building that says NEW HOMES in the 2nd floor windows.

Please contact my assistant Darlene Albright at darlene@sugarmagnoliahomes.com or 756-4014 if you would like a copy for review.

Building A New Clubhouse?

Questions, concerns, commments...



At the last HOA meeting, the idea of building a clubhouse was addressed. A few questions come to mind:

As a Mainstreet homeowner, how do you feel about this?

Will this be put to a vote of the homeowners?

How much say will the homeowners have in the design, etc?

How much will it cost?

Perhaps most importantly, will our HOA dues be raised???

This effects all Mainstreet homeowners. Hopefully, this issue will be well addressed, so that all homeowners have equal say in the process.

Neighborhood Talk: Lagoon Landscaping

Here is a comment from a reader:

"I have tried to email this to the landscape supervisor but was not successful.

I have recently moved into Mainstreet Neighborhood and have enjoyed living here thus far. I moved into a lot with a lagoon view and have enjoyed the view of not only the water but also the vision of the nature that circulates in and out of the area. However, I have a concern. With summer just around the corner and heat increasing everyday, this is prime time for snakes to begin crawling and lurking around. My family and I have seen several water moccasins around the pond and have come within feet of stepping on one while walking the dog. My concern with the lagoon is the landscape around the edges. It seems as if the grass and weeds in this area has been forgotten and is growing everyday. The area is attracting more critters due to not cutting and keeping the place clean. I have cut above and beyond the boundaries of my property in order to do my part to keep snakes out and keep the place looking presentable. However, it does not seem as if the neighborhood is doing there duty to keep the place clean. One thing that attracts and helps the homes appreciate in this area is the beauty of the facility. Also, we pay annually fees to help the neighborhood ensure the upkeep of common area.

At this time, I would like to ask the neighborhood officials to pay more attention to this particular area and arrive at a solution. Please notify me as well as the other lagoon front homeowners what we can do to assist in ensuring the water will be clean and attractive. "

Recent HOA Meeting

We must remain positive...

It is our hope that those volunteering to serve this wonderful neighborhood on the HOA Board will strive to work together, and show positive leadership to accomplish great things.

It is also our hope that others will volunteer to do what they can to help out - no effort is too small. To find out how you can do, please contact the HOA president.

Your comments are welcomed. Let's keep Mainstreet as one of the most desired neighborhoods around!

Neighborhood Talk: A Caring HOA President

Here is a post made by one of our readers...

"I lived in Mainstreet for several years now,I've noticed that every year has new president. So far, Ms. Nevin Brown is the only one who cared and showed interest for improvement of Mainstreet, to make our neighborhood look even better. The past president didn't really do nothing. I also heard a lot of people, that loved to complain and whining, instead of helping out or give their opinion how this neighborhood will become
a better place to live.

I hope there's more people to share their opinion, that way we can resolve some of the issues of Mainstreet."

Neighborhood Talk: Lagoon Landscaping

Here is a post made by a reader:

"I'm just wondering when the landscaper will cut those weeds on the lagoon. I noticed that weeds are getting out of control. I'm hoping that whoever incharge of landscaping will do something about it.
