Bells Crossing Residents,
I wanted to share some recent updates from Meritage and also let you
know about some changes to the website and our new mailing list.
- We now have a mailing list that we will use to share updates with the
community. Note that this will work differently from the old e-mail
distribution. If you reply to any messages sent out on the list that
reply will only go to the advisory board (Bells.Crossing.HOA@gmail.com).
- Also, if you have any issues/questions about the community for
Meritage/Kuester feel free to send them to Bells.Crossing.HOA@gmail.com.
- We did some work on the website and you'll now see an option to
sign-up for the mailing list there. I'm going to work on a way to let
all (especially new) residents know about the website and the e-mail
list, but in the interim if you know anyone who'd like to receive these
updates please direct them to the
website: http://bellscrossingnc.blogspot.com/ where they can sign up.
- I've subscribed everyone from the old e-mail distribution to the new
mailing list. If for any reason you'd like to unsubscribe an e-mail
address there will be a link to do so at the bottom of this (and all
future) e-mail.
- We had a conference call with Meritage and Kuester today and received some updates on various Amenities and issues:
= Sport Court - There was a delay due to one of the poles being in the
wrong spot. Coloring will hopefully happen this week and the court
should be ready for use in 2-3 weeks.
= Water Pressure - The pumps have been installed. We asked Meritage to
verify that they are in and working since I personally have not noticed
any difference in water pressure.
= Boat Storage - The pad is finished and the fence is up. They still
need to put up signs for each space and run power for the gate.
Anticipated completion time is 2-3 weeks. We were told that Kuester
will notify those with storage spots.
= Area behind Swimming pool - Meritage has ordered playground equipment,
benches and landscaping to be installed in this area. We were told
that the equipment alone cost 35-40K so hopefully it will be quite nice.
Anticipated completion time is 60+ days.
= Lakefront Amenity - they are still finishing up the permitting for
this and anticipate construction to start in the fall. The plan is to
have a Cabana type structure with bathrooms and power.
= Streetlights - A few homeowners have expressed concern over the
intensity of the new streetlights. Duke power can install a refraction
shield on the lights causing issues. If you have a light
adjacent to your home and would like a refraction shield installed
please e-mail Bells.Crossing.HOA@gmail.com by the end of next week
= Irrigation - The irrigation south of the entrance is definitely
working, we are having Meritage verify that it is also working north of
the entrance as some of the bushes look dried out there
= Pool Cover - Kuester is obtaining quotes for a pool cover that is planned to be purchased prior to the pool closing this fall
= Pool Water Fountain - The outdoor water fountain at the pool is in
place, but it is not working quite yet as some additional electrical
work was required. This should be done by the end of the week.
= Pool Furniture - Kuester is having a furniture repair person take a
look at the furniture and is also continuing to investigate the warranty
status of the furniture
= Pool: switch for fans/lights - Kuester said there is now an outside switch for the outdoor fans/lights
= Field behind pool - Meritage and Kuester are going to let the
landscaping company know that they must consistently take care of the
large field behind the pool if they want to continue servicing our
community
If anyone has questions about anything in this update and/or
issues/concerns that you would like us to bring to Meritage and/or
Kuester please send an e-mail to Bells.Crossing.HOA@gmail.com
