The first order of business conducted by the HOAB this month was a discussion about speeding. Several homeowners have brought this on-going problem to the attention of the HOAB. A request will go out to our City Councilman, Harold Wales, to get the Athens police to begin their patrols throughout the Canebrake Community looking for speeders and issuing tickets. Beverly Van Wagner from Hughes Property will be sending a mass email to Canebrake homeowners about the dangers of speeding and warn them that patrols will be increased throughout the Community. The HOA wants to ensure the safety of the residents and wants the residents to know that their complaints are being acted upon.
The second order of business also pertains to the safety of our residents throughout the community and that is the authorization to utilize HOA funds for putting in a sidewalk. This is to be a 2 (two) phase plan, first phase will be from Crooked Stick to Troon and then the second phase will be from Troon to Riviera. Canebrake HOA has approved funding for both phases; paying for the materials and the City of Athens has agreed to supply the equipment and labor. This project will greatly add to the Community and provide the Colony a safe passage way and much needed access to the common grounds especially the pool. If everything goes well, work will begin within a few months. Much coordination and preparation needs to be conducted up front and of course the weather will also be contributing factor that will dictate the start of the project.
Many other projects that were brought up during the Annual HOA meeting are being considered as projects to invest in for the overall Community. Many options were laid on the table such as: new playground equipment, more landscaping in and around the Canebrake entryway, improving the Christmas décor and a walking trail. The main 2 (two) topics discussed were the new playground equipment and the additional landscaping; both of these projects will receive much more attention in upcoming meetings. But with the expenditure of funds to get the sidewalk project started, it was determined that the other projects will have to wait until later in the year, as it would not be beneficial to spend all the surplus funds at one time.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:20 pm. The next HOAB meeting is scheduled for the 4th of March at 6:00 pm. The topics for next month’s agenda are Speeding Campaign, Sidewalk Project, Fines and Violations. Any additional agenda items need to be submitted to Donnie Hudleston before February 24th.
