CITY OF CHARLOTTE STREET LIGHT LETTER  -  5/2/08

Steele Creek HOA Residents,
 
Hello and I hope things are well.  Your Board of Directors (BOD) have finalized the process for getting the street lights in the community.  As a result of this new process, the BOD has attached a copy of the letter you will be receiving in the mail from Hawthorne Management over the course of the next couple of days.  A copy of the letter will also be placed in your mailbox, as a secondary back-up, and on the website as a tertiary back-up.  We wanted to make sure everyone has received a copy of the letter and there is no misunderstanding of this new process.
 
After the 30 day period, we will need to get a final letter back into the City of Charlotte Dept. of Transportation.  In the meantime, if you should have any further concerns or questions, please send all specific questions directly to me, and any general questions to any of the Board Members.
 
Take care, and lets move this process forward for the benefit of the community.
 
Best regards,
Stewart Hubbard

MAJOR NEWS ON CITY STREET LIGHT MAP  -  2/1/08

The Board of directors has shared some very critical news regarding the progress on obtaining signatures on the city streetlight map.  Please click HERE for details.

 

ENTRANCE LIGHTS PROBLEM  -  1/16/08

The BOD wants everyone in the community to be aware that the problem with the entrance lights not coming on at night is being addressed.  According to Kelly Parker at Hawthorne Mgmt, electricians were sent out on several occasions to address the issue.  However each time, the electricians  determined that the problem has to be repaired by Duke Power. Hawthorne then notified Duke Power and has been following up with Duke on a consistent basis ever since.  Duke has yet to get out to us based on their current schedule of repairs.  So basically, it's a waiting game from now until repaired.  Please refrain from contacting Hawthorne since the repair responsibility lies with Duke Power.

 

Streetlight Update  -  1/4/08

The BOD sent notice to the community email distribution this evening that our community has officially passed the approval for the streetlight "special assessment".  Hawthorne Mgmt. will be sending out invoices as follows:

 

Option A:

- If you have paid only one of the two payments, you will receive an invoice for one payment to be made due in February no later than March.

 

Option B:

- If you have not paid either of the two payments, you will need receive invoices for two payments to be made in February and March.

 

If you have paid both payments for $180.00, then you will 'not' need to pay any more money.  Invoices are also going out to Keystone to ensure they pay $180 for each of the lots they still own.

 

Note: The BOD is still waiting to hear back from the City of Charlotte regarding the Street Light Map. Once all payments are collected over the next few months, a check will be forward to the City for installation.  The rest (installation date) is up to the City. If there are any questions regarding this update, click on Contacts to email the BOD.
