CONSOLIDATED COMMENTS FALL 2007 HOMEOWNERS SURVEY |
| The Annual Homeowners' Association meeting is help= ful. | |
| &nb= sp; | Have not atte= nded. |
| &nb= sp; | Common Areas = and amenities are maintained and managed well. |
| 2 | Overall I fee= l we receive a good value and most of the neighborhood looks good. |
| &nb= sp; | The content a= nd frequency of the Newsletters meet my needs. |
| &nb= sp; | They seem to come out late for some of the content contained. |
| &nb= sp; | I am aware of= and use the Homeowners' Associations website. |
| &nb= sp; | Occasionally.= |
| &nb= sp; | The "Han= dbook of Rules and Information" meets my needs. |
| &nb= sp; | I have confid= ence in the Board handling the Association's finances. |
| &nb= sp; | Board needs t= o do everything in their power to reduce the annual fees. Each years goal should be to red= uce by a certain % |
| &nb= sp; | Recommend rem= oving pool fee from annual fee charge and charge those that use the pool. |
| &nb= sp; | I won't if you spend money to replace the white fences when they are not broken. |
| &nb= sp; | If you remove= the pool expenses from the annual dues, the pool people can do what they want= to do. |
| &nb= sp; | Board members= return my phone calls or answer my emails in a timely fashion. |
| &nb= sp; | Board members= address my concerns quickly and professionally. |
| 2 | Thanks for al= l that you do to make our community a great place to live. |
| 2 | Great job by = the board. |
| 4 | = Thanks to the Board for all you do and keep up the good work. |
| &nb= sp; | The Board doe= s a good job enforcing the Code of Regulations and Deed Restrictions. |
| &nb= sp; | Enforce the r= ules for homeowners who do not maintain their own lawn, trees and shrubs. Very disappointed. |
| 2 | Some homes lo= ok obviously neglected. Can an= ything be done to encourage those homeowners? |
| &nb= sp; | I desire to h= elp the Board or to be a member of the Board (please contact a Board Member) |
| &nb= sp; | I'm sure being a Board Member is a relatively thankless job and I appreciate those who are willing to serve. |
| &nb= sp; | No thanks. |
| &nb= sp; | Associates at= Carlyle Management return my calls and emails promptly. |
| &nb= sp; | Carlyle Mgmt.= is very unprofessional & difficult to deal with. They do not return phone cal= ls in a prompt manner. |
| &nb= sp; | I had a rough time getting a hold of responses from Carle Management. |
| &nb= sp; | Carlyle Mgmt.= did not return my calls or emails on 2 separate occasions. |
| &nb= sp; | Associates at= Carlyle Management resolve my concerns quickly. |
| &nb= sp; | Carlyle Mgmt.= uses the Board to achieve their objectives.&n= bsp; The Board should push for Independence. Do not be a rubber stamp.<= /td> |
| &nb= sp; | The clubhouse= is well-maintained and clean. |
| 5 | Pool/Clubhouse bathrooms were not always well maintained over the summer. |
| &nb= sp; | Over flowing = toilets and poop on the floor. |
| 2 | Dirty and lac= king supplies like toilet paper and soap. |
| &nb= sp; | A diaper chan= ging area is needed. |
| &nb= sp; | Some addition= al amenities in the clubhouse would enhance value to the renters/users (plea= se list). |
| &nb= sp; | Larger clubhouse would be wonderful. |
| 2 | An additional clubhouse is warranted with all the development. Original plan was for le= ss housing and less number of people renting it. |
| &nb= sp; | Update the fu= rniture |
| &nb= sp; | Paint to brig= hten up |
| &nb= sp; | Replace mops = every few months./soap dishes in bathroom. |
| 6 | Stove or stov= e with oven |
| 2 | Television wi= th cable |
| &nb= sp; | The clubhouse= rental process is well-managed. |
| &nb= sp; | Yes now that = it is on the website. |
| &nb= sp; | No I practically had to stalk the person when I wanted to rent the clubhouse. We had to = clean it when we got there and when we left. |
| &nb= sp; | I emailed Car= lyle Management about the availability of the party room and never received a response. |
| &nb= sp; | The Mailbox Improvement Program is getting good results. |
| &nb= sp; | I hate the wh= ite mailboxes. Prefer the black wrought iron Bentley Park boxes. |
| &nb= sp; | Whatever happ= ened to the composite prototype we heard about 3 years ago to replace the existing high maintenance woods posts? |
| &nb= sp; | Cost to replace a mai= lbox is excessive. |
| &nb= sp; | Thanks for ta= king care of the mailboxes. It makes a big difference. |
| &nb= sp; | Mailboxes are= usually well maintained, some are pitiful. Board should stop writing letters and take some firm action. |
| &nb= sp; | A cost that i= s not really necessary; goal should be to reduce fees. |
| &nb= sp; | You should see my neighbor= s. Yikes! |
| &nb= sp; | Mailboxes are an eyesore. |
| &nb= sp; | Our mailbox was hit 5 times last year and we had a terrible experience with t= he mailbox contractor. He over billed us and to three months to fix it. |
| &nb= sp; | Some mailboxe= s still in need of repair. |
| &nb= sp; | We are glad y= ou are enforcing the mailbox maintenance issues. |
| &nb= sp; | Illuminating = the trees at the Rt. 83 entrance down a portion of South Park is desirable and will add value. |
| &nb= sp; | It is very desirable. Xmas lig= hts during the winter and landscape lighting during the rest of the year. |
| &nb= sp; | Light them and Christmas. Put a little more lighting on the Highland Park sign = on a regular basis. Its hard to = see at night. |
| &nb= sp; | Doubtful. |
| &nb= sp; | Just make sur= e the lights and the wreath are lit at the entrance and that should be enough light. |
| &nb= sp; | When we first= moved in, the trees were illuminated and looked so nice. We always wondered why they were= taken down. |
| &nb= sp; | The white pla= stic fences at Rt. 83 entrance and the parking lot/playground should be replac= ed with a higher end, prettier system (such as Bentley Par |
| 6 | Do not spend Association money to remove & replace fence unless damaged |
| &nb= sp; | They look fin= e and compliment the surroundings such as mail boxes, nature park fences. |
| &nb= sp; | Just straight= en the posts. They shift over time= . Fences are fine they just need t= o be maintained. |
| &nb= sp; | I don't think= iron fences are a suitable look for that area. If you replace, I would suggest a similar fence or wood fence. |
| 2 | The white fen= ce looks cheap. Make it look like Bentley Park. |
| &nb= sp; | Almost free alternative -remove the plastic or some of the fencing replacing with a landscaping fence (bushes, trees, grasses) |
| &nb= sp; | I like what we have. Its appropriate for o= ur setting. |
| &nb= sp; | To replace perfectly good fencing to be&nbs= p; like Bentley is wasteful spending. |
| &nb= sp; | Are people ju= st looking for ways to spend money? |
| 2 | Replacing the= white fences would be nice so long as there were no additional costs to the Homeowners. |
| &nb= sp; | Lawn and grass areas= are well maintained. |
| &nb= sp; | weed killer n= eeded |
| &nb= sp; | Tre= es, Shrubs, mulch and flower beds are well maintained. |
| &nb= sp; | Our landscaped entrances is more attractive than Bentley Park. |
| &nb= sp; | Island in fro= nt of our home (Haverford) is not attractive and needs improvement |
| &nb= sp; | Most are fine= but island at corner of Haverford and South Park is terrible. Ground cover lo= oks like weeds. |
| 3 | Pick one col= or mulch and stick with it. Red-yuck! |
| &nb= sp; | Route 83 en= trance needs more water and fertilizer. |
| &nb= sp; | Front Entrance at Rt. 83 need to be relandscaped made to look much better than = it is. |
| 2 | Flower beds by clubhouse & playground look like weed beds and need some attention |
| &nb= sp; | The Nature Pa= rk bordered by the walking trail and houses on North Park and South Park is well-maintained. |
| &nb= sp; | Do not spend = any more money on improvements in the Nature Park |
| &nb= sp; | It does not seem to be maintained. |
| &nb= sp; | My family use= s the pool very frequently. |
| &nb= sp; | I don’t= think the alcohol for the parents is necessary at the pool. No alcohol should be allowed. |
| &nb= sp; | Tent or roof structure over baby pool to provide shade or more umbrellas would be nice= . |
| 3 | No we don't b= ecause it is too crowded. |
| &nb= sp; | NO time now b= ut when I retire, I plan to use it frequently. |
| &nb= sp; | The pool is t= oo crowded in June-July-August-September |
| &nb= sp; | At times, yes. |
| &nb= sp; | A splash park= like the one in Fairview Park would be an option for over crowding. |
| &nb= sp; | Remove the ba= by pool and replace with mushroom fountains and kid friendly spouts. |
| 2 | Never use the= pool - too crowded. |
| &nb= sp; | I don't us= e the pool because of the influx of kids. |
| &nb= sp; | A lap pool or additional pool would help. This is what brought us to the development. |
| &nb= sp; | I support lim= iting the number of guests/visitors to reduce crowding. |
| &nb= sp; | Limiting the = number of people in the development to pool access time is wrong. |
| &nb= sp; | Additional 4 - 6 guests okay. |
| &nb= sp; | Guests need to pay. Period! |
| &nb= sp; | Residents nee= d ID cards and should be checked in. &nb= sp; Someone should be paid to check in people. |
| &nb= sp; | I support hav= ing a portion of the day as “adult only” swimming. |
| 2 | I would use t= he pool if there was an adult only time blocked out. |
| &nb= sp; | Adult Swim af= ter 9:00 pm without lifeguard age 25 and over. |
| 2 | The current a= dult only swim while the lifeguard is on break is enough. |
| &nb= sp; | I support the= pool hours of operation from 9:00 am - 9:00 pm |
| &nb= sp; | Why not have it open until October 1st without a lifeguard and leave it open until 9:30 in July & August. |
| &nb= sp; | Pool water qu= ality was maintained at a healthy level. |
| &nb= sp; | I don't know but I hope so! |
| &nb= sp; | Pool should |
| &nb= sp; | I support use= of a lifeguard whenever the pool is open, not just from noon until closing, recognizing that there will be increased costs. |
| 2 | I believe par= ents should act as lifeguard as well for their own children. |
| 2 | Noon to closi= ng is sufficient; largest number of swimmers is after work and weekends. |
| &nb= sp; | We received h= igh value from Metropolitan Pool Management Co. |
| &nb= sp; | It appears to be true. |
| &nb= sp; | Swimming less= ons were well-done and provided good value. |
| &nb= sp; | Not impressed= . |
| &nb= sp; | Too many kids= in the sessions. |
| &nb= sp; | Would like to see mo= re sessions offered. |
| &nb= sp; | Improvement n= eeded regarding registration process and Instructors. I left numerous messages when I = did not received confirmation of lesson times |
| &nb= sp; | Very nice pro= gram. |
| &nb= sp; | Nicole did a = good job; the other instructors need more training in lesson instruction. Over= all I was not very satisfied. |
| &nb= sp; | Lifeguards di= d a good job watching for bathers in trouble. |
| &nb= sp; | I rescued peo= ple on two occasions as the lifeguard just sat there |
| &nb= sp; | Lifeguards di= d a good job cleaning the pool area (pool, deck, skimmers, garbage cans, etc). |
| &nb= sp; | Deck area see= med to always have trash on it |
| &nb= sp; | Lifeguards di= d a good job enforcing the rules. |
| &nb= sp; | I was disappo= inted a guard was paid to check people in rather than guard the pool. |
| &nb= sp; | I would suppo= rt a reasonable “special assessment” to expand the existing pool a= nd parking lot. |
| 2 | Plan should be distributed to all homeowner's for a vote with associate costs. |
| &nb= sp; | Special asses= sment should be for pool people only |
| &nb= sp; | I was assesse= d $4,000 when I moved in to go towards the pool, clubhouse. Let the new homeowners fund any expansion. |
| 2 | Why not have = Drees build another pool since they will adding more homes. |
| &nb= sp; | When we bough= t our house five years ago, we were told that there would be a new pool because= of all the building in the development. |
| 2 | With the pass= age of the Avon Rec Center, it would be foolish to expand the pool. Keep it for little kids and let = the older ones use the rec center. |
| &nb= sp; | No more costs= or assessments. |
| &nb= sp; | We need a walkway from the parking lot to the pool gate. If is very uneven now. |
| &nb= sp; | The size of t= he pool is not keeping pace with the growing size of the subdivision. |
| 8 | With all of t= he development, another pool needs to be added or expand. |
| &nb= sp; | Vending machi= nes near the pool are desirable. |
| 2 | I have a concern bringing in vending machines . May create more trash and litter around the neighborhood, park areas. |
| &nb= sp; | I thin= k it might cause vandalism and mischief at night. |
| &nb= sp; | Drinks only. |
| &nb= sp; | Small snack s= hack would bring money in to maintain pool.&n= bsp; Charges could be billed to our Pool Pass cards and could be billed monthly. |
| &nb= sp; | My family use= s the tennis courts frequently. |
| &nb= sp; | Don't use the= tennis courts at this time. |
| &nb= sp; | Improvements = are needed at the tennis courts. |
| &nb= sp; | Higher or larger fences to keep my tennis balls in play within the tennis court. |
| &nb= sp; | My family use= s the playground frequently. |
| &nb= sp; | Improvements = are needed at the playground. |
| &nb= sp; | Need a place = for big kids 8-12 years. |
| &nb= sp; | Nice to have = but not needed. |

| 3 | More mulch is= needed and new stuff. |
| 2 | A few large t= rees for shade would be nice. |
| 6 | A trash can is sorely needed at the playground. I am always picking up litt= er, pop cans. |
| &nb= sp; | Have a separa= te trash can for animal waste. |
| 2 | Sometimes the= re is a lot of garbage at the playground. |
| &nb= sp; | On 2 occasions parents have allowed their kids to urinate in the area. Yuck. From a health point, that is disgusting. |
| 3 | A few tables = for a picnic would be useful. |
| &nb= sp; | More equipmen= t is needed in the playground (please list your preferences, such as more swin= gs, teeter totter, tether ball, etc.). |

| &nb= sp; | I support modest improvements to a portion of the Nature Park “grassy area” so that it can be used for more formalized activities (such as pickup games, flying kites, etc.)---for Highland Park residents only. |
| &nb= sp; | Nature park was intended to be just that - not an attraction for formalized activities. |
| 2 | Its perfect f= or those purposes already - what would be done to improve it? |
| &nb= sp; | Better smooth= er grass would be nice. |
| &nb= sp; | Would love a sledding hill in the middle or to the side of the large field. |
| &nb= sp; | Agree. Football sized area that is well maintained for pick up games, safer play. |
| 2 | Soccer fi= eld set up for certain times and weekends. |
| 2 | Times and needs of development have changed.&n= bsp; Space needs to be put to some use/better use. |
| &nbs= p; | Should be cleaned up and landscaped and maybe add a gazebo but no sports should = be played there due to rowdy kids. There are other places to play. |
| &nb= sp; | Lighting along the pathway or more lighting in the area would provide more safety = at dusk and dawn. |

| &nb= sp; | MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS |
| &nb= sp; | |
| &nb= sp; | Water Basins<= /td> |
| &nb= sp; | The water bas= in between North & Southpark - something needs to be done to drain the accumulated water during heavy rains. |
| &nb= sp; | Our basement = has flooded twice. |
| &nb= sp; | It needs to b= e better maintained as to the build up of debris and a better system of drainage n= eeds to be developed. |
| &nb= sp; | |
| &nb= sp; | Connections to Stoneyridge and future development |
| &nb= sp; | Do we really = want Southpark connecting to Stoney Ridge?&nb= sp; If it becomes a cut through, there goes the neighborhood and the values of our homes. |
| &nb= sp; | 67) Why make = anything look like Bentley Park when a cut through will make it look like Miles or Kinzel Roads. |
| &nb= sp; | |
| &nb= sp; | Traffic |
| &nb= sp; | Would support= speed bumps on Southpark to slow traffic down. |
| 3 | Police are no= t doing enough to keep speeders in check on Southpark. Can we request more patrols? |
| &nb= sp; | Stop signs at= every intersection, street entrance and cul-de-sacs. |
| &nb= sp; | You need to s= low traffic down now as this is becoming a mail Avon Street. |
| &nb= sp; | Code regulati= on on parking on the hydrant side of street not enforced |
| &nb= sp; | More street lighting is needed. = Take a walk at night and you can't believe how dark it is. If some homes did no= t have landscaping lights, it would be pitch black! |
| &nbs= p; | I think we will all suffer some safety and house value quality decrease as a result of the South Park extension. I would like to see = our Board take a more supportive and active role in advocating for suitable revisions. |
| &nb= sp; | There should = be a ban on those stupid plastic turtles that say Slow Down. They look stupid. |
| &nb= sp; | If you hit a = mailbox be courteous and leave a note or call the homeowner. |
| &nb= sp; | |
| &nb= sp; | Miscellaneous= |
| &nb= sp; | |
| 3 | I love the new fountain and lights. Adds v= alue and makes a great first impression. |
| &nb= sp; | We need to preserve as many trees and green space as possible. Foliage and landscaping add valu= e to our homes as well as our spirits. <= /span> |
| &nb= sp; | Pond area should be a focal point. Have some benches, another fountain, nicer landscaping. Add a no fishing sign and remove the berm along South Park so you can see it. |
| &nb= sp; | To make the development look better, the streets need to be cleaned more often. Way too much dirt and gravel along the curbs. |
| &nb= sp; | Residents need to better maintain their homes; water and fertilize their lawns and apply weed control. |
