Community Update - 7/15/2015

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
