IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS ON FACEBOOK:
Yesterday, the message provided below was posted on Facebook. I hope you'll follow through, and help other Wedgefield residents in an effort to make things at the golf course look better for all of Wedgefield. Information provided below.
"I have been in contact with a man who will mow the grass and keep it mowed until someone buys the course. If we can get street captains that will collect $20 a month per household from property owners on their street, we can collect enough to pay for this to be done. We all appreciate what has been done so far from some of the homeowners who obviously care about Wedgefield! I am prepared to open an account strictly for "mowing" and I'm prepared to talk with Gary Roberts and/ or bank concerning liability issues since nothing was obtained from the board. Please contact me at 843-359-2537 or stop by 87 Francis Parker to discuss this further. Thank you for supporting our community!"
Please support this effort by using the contract information provided above. Also, a big thank you to all those residents who have been out mowing with their own mowers, gas, and time. Did you notice that some of our residents have gone out with chain saws, and cut fallen trees on the course, left there from the storm last fall? Obviously many of our residents care, and are committed to cleaning up Wedgefield, and helping restore our community.
While the golf course situation is a unique, and a special issue, our residents do care about maintaining Wedgefield. Does our board? I don't think so. For far too long they have failed to enforce the restrictions provided in our governing documents that would maintain a standard for lot maintenance, sheds, vehicles stored on vacant lots etc.
Additionally, each year your board provides a mowing subcontract to members who own vacant, grassy lots. The member pays a fee in advance for 4 mowings to be supervised by the grounds chair, and services performed by the grounds maintenance contractor crew. Last year, these lots grew to as high as 5 feet, and were not provided with all the mowings in the contract during the growing season. Our grounds chair, then decided to meet the balance of the mowings required in the subcontracts during the dormant season last Feb., in order to keep the contract money. Who suffered? We all did, because these unkept lots, many of them next to homes, added to the poor appearance of a neglected Wedgefield. Hope you don't live next to one of these board neglected lots. The appearance is horrible, and the weed infestation into your property, difficult to control, and expensive to you in trying to maintain your property. Why won't the board just do the job that these grassy lot owners paid them to do?
I have a lot next to me, and the tall grass, and weed invasion has already started.
We pay our lawn crew to cut some areas on the lot in an effort to try and stop the weed invasion.
When we don't pay for all areas to be trimmed on our boarder to the lot, this is what we get.
Once the invasion starts, it is in the flowers, and we pay to poison, or pull these large weeds.
Could the board just provide the service you paid for? I want some of my assessment back, because they aren't living up to the requirements of our governing documents, or these subcontracts.
