Announcement

Good Afternoon, 

Just want to say thank you for making sure cars were off the roads being worked on today. I hope that we can get thru the next few days with the same diligence. Please remember to still be mindful of the fire lanes and residents driveways, law enforcement and the fire department still need to be able to have access to our community in case of an emergency. Thank you again for your patience while we keep our roads looking and feeling great!

Best Regards,

The Orchards HOA Board

The Orchards HOA Update

The Orchards Home Owners Association Update

Due to Covid-19 The Orchards HOA have not met in person for our monthly meetings, with that said we are continuing to serve our community with just as much time and due diligence as we were before.  We have been following yearly guidelines to maintain our community roads, clean up, common area, etc.  

We would like to hi-light some things that have been going on in our community;

Our Paradise Road entrance area was ran into, the rock was knocked over and landscaping was in disarray.  HOA obtained video footage, contacted Police, filed a report and sent a claim to insurance. Claim was approved. We had this contracted out for repair thru Neighborhood Lawn and Tree.  They did a great job and the area looks much nicer.* Financials can be found in the treasurer report posted to the blog.

We have had to hand out several citations/violation letters in regards to violations of the bylaws/ ccr's.  We highly suggest that every Homeowner familiarizes themselves with these documents that can be found here on the blog.

We contracted out for weed removal and street sweeping on all our roads in preparation for the upcoming road crack and road sealant work to be done July 24th- 30th.* Refer to flier posted on homes/Facebook @https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheOrchardsHomeOwnersAssociation/blog.

City of Cheney was contacted to start water for The Orchards to maintain all common areas for the summer. Water was turned on the following day.

Auto Rain was hired to do back flow testing on sprinklers in common areas.  All went well and they gave input to the City of Cheney the following business day.

The Orchards parameter fence has been tagged with graffiti.  It is about 5 panels on the outer part of the fence facing the 904.  HOA has taken photos, contacted the police, filed a report and contacted the insurance company. The VP has made several calls to paint companies and so far they are booked out until October 2020. The Board will be communicating and hope to find a company sooner or look into further options. We assure you that we are working on this and will have it taken care of as soon as possible.

We would like to remind our fellow neighbors that we are all in this together and The Orchards HOA Board are doing all that we can to keep our community in compliance with all HOA Bylaws & CCR's.

Best Regards,

The Orchards Home Owners Association Board

ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION

The Orchards Home Owners Association,

This year our cracks and roads are scheduled to be sealed. We have contracted Specialty Asphalt to take care of this for our community. This means we will need all cars OFF of the roads as follows;

Friday, July 24th 7:30am-5pm & Monday, July 27th - Thursday, July 30th 7:30am - 5pm

On Friday, July 24th there will be limited access to the roads but there will be availability to get in and out.

Monday, July 27th they will be starting to seal the side streets (Pinecrest Ln & Whispering Oak) when those streets dry residents will be able to utilize them to park their cars and gain access while they continue with the other roads thru Thursday, July 30th.

Just as a reminder; all roadwork, times and dates are subject to weather delays, there will be delays in traffic, times where only one lane is open for cars to drive/access the road and roads closed for up to 3 hours at a time. We ask that you move all cars/anything else off of the roads for these dates and times. Any cars not moved will be towed immediately so that Specialty Asphalt is able to complete the job quickly and efficiently.

Please, if you see cones/coned off areas, DO NOT ENTER.

Some areas to park your cars while work is being done would be the side streets when they are completed, Safeway parking lot and along Paradise Rd.

We will post any new updates as they become available to our group HOA page via Facebook @https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheOrchardsHomeOwnersAssociation/
