Have you had recent problems with your electricity?
If you suffered through an almost 15 hour long power outage, there is good news for you.
City Public Service has mad improvements to some 4600 feet of power lines that feed our community. One of the taller orders was trimming the trees that were causing some of the problems with our electric reliability.
In addition to that, CPS has installed a "smart switch" which will help resolve some power issues. Now there are still going to be times where the power will go out.
No one can control cars running into utility poles, lightning strikes, or other factors but CPS says that it has addressed the short and mid term problems with electricity and that we should notice a big difference in our electric reliability.
If you continue to have problems with your power or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact CPS. The more people that report problems to them, the more likely we are to see action taken to correct them. |

In accordance with the authority granted to the Architectural Control Committee under Article 2, Page 3, of the Declaration of Protective Covenants for the Hunters Mill Association, the Architectural Control Committee and the Board of Directors has established the following policy regarding fencing and fence materials for use on all properties within the Hunters Mill community. This policy has been established in order to clarify any misunderstandings or ambiguity regarding Article 12, Page 9, (Fences, Walls and Hedges) of the Declaration of Protective Covenants. In the event there is any conflict between this policy and the requirements of the Protective Covenants, the provisions of the Protective Covenants shall prevail.
Materials:
All fences shall be made of wood. However, fence support posts can be made of metal galvanized posts or wood "4x4" posts. Wood fences or wood gates cannot be of "open" or picket design, but must be solid in appearance. Fences made of other materials, such as metal or masonry shall be approved in writing by the Association's Architectural Control Committee prior to construction.
Height:
No fence shall be higher than six (6) feet. Lower fences may be approved by the ACC Committee on a case-by-case basis.
Location:
All fences must be located on the property line of the subject property and must not encroach onto adjacent property. No fence shall be placed between the property line and any setback line of any lot unless approved in writing by the ACC Committee. Corner lots are subject to setback requirements along the front of the lot and the side of the lot that joins the street right of way.
Color:
Wood fences shall be left natural or may be finished with a clear preservative, stain or sealant. In order to clarify the term "clear" for the purpose of this policy, the ACC Committee has determined that this requirement is to prohibit the painting of wood fences. A preservative, sealer or stain, is considered to be meet the requirements of clear as long as the wood grain is clearly visible through the stain, and that no obvious color pigment is visible. The ACC has pre-approved the following sealer stains for use. The approved manufacturer's model numbers are:
| Behr Natural Seal Plus # |
Behr Semi-transparent # |
Olympic Maximum# |
31-92 Clear tint
31-80 White cedar tint
31-81 Redwood tint
31-82 Fir, pine, spruce tint |
DP-533 Cedar natural tone
DP-534 Redwood natural tone
DP-310 Chestnut
DP-537 Royal hayden
|
Clear
Honeygold
Cedar naturaltone
Redwood naturaltone |
Any other stain or sealant must be approved by the ACC Committee prior to use. Any fence made of materials other than wood must have color samples approved by the ACC Committee prior to use.
Maintenance:
All fences constructed with the Hunters Mill community shall be kept in good repair. Damaged or loose boards, framing or gates shall promptly be repaired or replaced as necessary. Fence treatments such as stains or sealants shall be maintained in good repair and any peeling, cracking, etc. shall be treated in a timely manner. The ACC committee and the Board of Directors reserves the right to determine if a fence is in need of repair.
