I know that the grass is getting a little long!  Unfortunately I was bitten by some type of tick a few weeks ago, and it has put me totally out of commission for the last 2 weeks.  I am hoping to be back around the property within the week.

In the interim I have hired someone to come in to mow the property.  Unfortunately they are trying to work this job into an already busy schedule, and the rain this week is not going to make it easy.  I am hopeful that they will be able to get in early this week to complete the mowing.

I stopped by the property for a few minutes last Monday, and saw that everyone had their garbage out and ready.  I assume that the truck came through late in the afternoon to pick up.  If there is miscellaneous garbage laying around the property I will try to pick it up when I mow.  However this is your community, so please make an effort to pick up any miscellaneous trash that the garbage pick-up misses.

I am aware that the water runoff to the south of the property is resulting in some bad erosion places, especially at the base of the drive going down the hill,  I am working with the City Engineer and Storm Water Department to resolve the issue.  I have requested that the crews doing the building to the south of us complete the retaining wall that was started.  I want to make sure that happens without disrupting traffic in our neighborhood.  They are also going to have to ensure that water will drain properly, and there is no water backup.

I was glad to see that they paved the roads in the construction to the south.  Hopefully that will reduce the amount of mud that is out on Howell.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.
