Community Projects

At the September Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved the following projects based on feedback from the community and committees:

• Convert the southern tennis courts into double basketball courts and replace fencing.
• Replace drainage area fencing along Plaza Street. 
• Remediate wood-line growth along the rear of homes on Stoneledge Place and Warrenton Terrace.
• Remove the broken basketball hoops and poles until the Board decides on a use for the current basketball court. The court will be sealed off until renovations are complete.
• Remove a large number of dead or dying trees that are marked and remediate the areas to green space.
• Repair the Stableview tot lot and convert the former Radford tot lot area into open green space.
• Upgrade all Association street lights with LED bulbs and repair of lights around the clubhouse and on Hedgestone Terrace.
• Install new chains at the clubhouse/pool emergency access driveway and change clubhouse procedures to no longer allow rentals to park there.
• Adopting new requirements and guidelines on trash as part of the Exeter Homeowners Handbook.

• Sign replacements for fire lane, stop signs, and pet waste signs. Please note this does not include all signs, only those in need of repair along parking areas and streets in the townhome section. This also includes removal of some obsolete signs.
• A review of common areas for erosion and drainage control.
• Review and potential replacement of benches.
• Relocation of select trash cans in the townhomes.
• Review of all Association contracts.
• Review of common areas and facilities for improvements in the fall and spring 2019.

 

Resolve a Serious Issue, Fast

Having a neighbor who won't take of their homes can be a huge eye sore, invite pests, invite vandalism, and even damage your property value. The Association does all it can to resolve issues with nuisance issues, but sometimes that process can be long, cost the Association, and may even be outside the ability of the Association to resolve. The Town of Leesburg has a Nuisance Issue reporting page that allows you to file with the Town to remediate certain issues (and keep track of their status) such as:

• Abandoned property, tall grass, property not being maintained
• Nuisance animals
• Commercial vehicle parking on public streets in residential neighborhoods
• Excessive occupancy
• Illegal outdoor storage, construction debris, or discharge of materials into storm drains
• Inoperable vehicles parked on public streets, parked off street, parked in a yard, or blocking a public sidewalk
• Noise complaints
• Non-permitted construction
• Prohibited home-based businesses
• Trash and debris along roadways
• Trees and branches blocking sight lines and signs
• Unsafe and unsanitary conditions
