Meeting information including ballot, proxy and agenda will be sent by regular mail to the address we have on file for you. It is hard to believe, but 2015 is here, and it is always wise to reflect on the past year so we can understand the effectiveness of our efforts. Do you live at Appleridge? We’d like to remind you: our 1970’s plumbing CANNOT handle heavy use. Please use the trash bin for food items rather than your disposal. We will begin installation of heat tape on the roof for those problem areas where ice builds up during the winter. Ripples is available by email! Please write to [email protected] and we’ll get you added to the distribution list. Happy New Year!

Marj Eggers Christianna HOA A quick overview would be the indicator of unit sales within Lakeview Terrace. During the entire year of 2013 the average price for units sold was $62,700 and in 2014 the average price for units sold was $74,800. The increase in average value for units sold is 19.3% which certainly should be encouraging to each owner. The major expenditure from the Association's reserve fund has been to seal roofs in order to extend the roof life and reduce the concern over leaks. The cost has been $77,000 over the last twelve months and the contribution to the reserve has been increased to almost $60,000 per year. Flashing on several buildings have also been repaired and boards replaced at a cost included in the amount designated for roofs. All repairs have been paid in full from the Association's reserve funds. Utility costs continue to increase at a healthy rate, but with the cost of gas going down the increase may stop and stabilize. The level of monthly dues should be able to hold at $170.00 with all factors considered. Have a good 2015 and help in celebrating by being considerate of your neighbors. Our Annual Meeting will be on January 22, at 5:00 p.m. in the community room, 3150 Lakeside Drive.
