June 2016 Blakefield HOA Newsletter
Blakefield HOA, PO Box 20016, Fayetteville, NC 28312
Blakefield Homeowners,
General Information: Welcome to summer. We have a few things we would like to mention. Please continue to keep your yards in good shape. How yards look shows visitors that we care about our neighborhood. Thanks for all your hard work.
Lets address basketball playing in the street. Actually any playing in the street. We all want the kids to have fun. We can’t drive in our back yards but the kids could play back there. Just saying. The feed back we are getting is that kids playing in the street do not move out of the way of traffic in a fast and safe manner. Only you can train your kids to respond in a courteous manner to oncoming traffic. Please explain to them it is truly a safety issue. It needs to be corrected before we have an incident.
We have asked the developer to check on allowing school busses into Blakefield to pick up the kids. Until we get the issue resolved please keep the entry/exit way to the neighborhood clear and safe while waiting for the busses.
The developer is also asking all the builders to tell their employees and subs to slow down when driving in our neighborhood.
We are working on getting a billing cycle established so you all will receive a bill for your annual dues. Actually by owning a lot in Blakefield you agree to the covenants which require, currently, a $100 assessment each calendar year. We would like to receive the payments by 15 June this year.
Tentatively we will have a neighborhood block party this fall. Keep up on more information on the web site.
