Open Session for Homeowners Present Question about the timeline for the sidewalk in front of neighborhood - the sidewalk will be included in the widening of the road. Expected completion date is 2026 Question about the frequency of playground maintenance - There will be a request placed to the organization who built the structure and to see if it is still under warranty. The new equipment is wiggly at the top. A neighbor complimented the new sign in front of the neighborhood. Question about how often the HOA reviews and puts out bids for landscaping neighborhoods. Landscaping contract is reviewed annually. Also, the easement behind Fawn Park northside houses is overgrown. The easement is not part of our landscaping contract and dominion does not want us on their easement. Board will review the maintenance of the overgrown easement. A neighbor mentioned that Thursday night a loud vehicle noise was heard on the Fawn Park Lane. Suggestion of speed bumps. Streets are maintained by VDOT. Options include speed regulators and signage. HOA has called in the past to have a car with radar to deter speeders. Street lights as an option are too expensive. Question about the number of vehicles using the street to park. Concerned homeowners should contact any board member. Question was asked about a way to check if the pavilion is booked. Sarah Coleman remains in charge of pavilion rental. Possibly asking Sarah for a monthly report for rentals. There is no cost to neighbors, just a $25 refundable fee. A neighbor mentioned flickering lights under the pavilion. Will call an electrician to check all lighting. Question about unleashed dogs in the field. Unleashed dogs fall under Hanover County ordinance. All dogs must be leashed.
