4-24-2013 A special meeting was held and a majority (>24) of lot owners voted on and passed a motion for the brick and wood fence to replace the storm damaged vinyl fence. The initial phase of the fence (from Hickory Ridge north) will be paid for with the SBA loan in the approximate amount of $100,000. A portion of the loan will be used to move the good vinyl fence from the initial phase replacing the remaining damaged sections until the other three phases are completed. The SBA loan will be paid with a $60/ quarter dues increase over a period of 10 years. The vinyl fence will be replaced in three phases as an additional $150/ quarter in dues is accumulated which will end once the entire fence is completed / paid for. With the fence dues added to the regular dues, the quarterly dues amount is $315. Lot owners that do not pay their dues, will have liens promptly filed on their property. Quarterly dues payments can be made by check, through PayPal via the website (the additional amout pays for the PayPal fees), or autodrafted with the proper form submitted with a voided check.

6-23-06 3rd quarter Dues notices have been mailed as well as another notice about lots that have not been maintained according to the covenants concerning weed and grass height.  Lots have been cut and expenses have been passed along to their respective lot owners.  Herbicides can no longer be used to control growth on lots. Also, trees have been replaced that were destroyed by Katrina at the entrance and shrubs have been planted around the utility station in front of Old Dickory.

3-17-06 Dues notices have been mailed as well as notices of lots that are are in violation of the covenants' grass height and debris provisions.  These lots will begin to be cleared and cut at the owner's expense at a cost of up to 150% of cost of having an insured contractor perform the task.  This will begin on April 3rd. 

Please keep up with your obligation of keeping your lots free of debris and grass/weeds no higher than 6".
