In the News... In Decending ChronoLogical Order

An updated draft of this document has been provided to the Board for review (the current 2003 version is posted on the Documents page).  The new draft also includes standards for garage doors, shingles, and front door paint.   The new version also includes a matrix that clarifies what are Board vs. owner responsibilities. 

Several children who live in First Colony ride the bus to school.  Buses pull up to the entrance gate to load/unload children.  Children cross over the exit lane to get to the bus.    This sign serves as a reminder to residents exiting First Colony to stop while the bus is loading/unloading children.  

A draft of the 2025 annual meeting minutes has been posted to the Documents page.  Its release demonstrates a significant accomplishment toward improving the communication from the Board to Owners.  In the past a draft of annual meeting minutes wasn't released until prior to the following annual meeting.  

The Grounds Commitee (Rob Williford, Lindsay Lonsbury-Fleenor, and Marilyn Wolfe) has released a preliminary report of landscaping opportunities for improvement.  The report has been posted to the Documents page and contains many pictures. 

Owners might have noticed recent improvements to the entrance.  Owners have Lois to thank for bringing two of the landscapers she uses to maintain her property in Tara Hills over to improve both sides of the front entrance at her own expense.   They cleared the areas of brush and weeds, re- dry stacked the stone, and laid mulch.  

The 2025 Board of Directors are: 

• Rick Dunham (283 South Hampton Dr.)
• John Snyder (121 West Hampton Dr.)
• Doyle Lawson (242 South Hampton Dr.)
• Jared Riddle (128 W. Hampton Dr.) Jared was elected to fill the 2 remaining years of Denise Tran's term
• Lindsay Lonsbury-Fleenor (101 Hampton Ct.) was elected to serve the expired 3 year term of Marilyn Wolfe

The 2025 Board has yet to meet to resolve officers amongst themselves (President, VP/Treasurer, Secretary).  Rick, John, and Doyle are serving the last year of their 3 year terms.  

There was overwhelming support at the recent annual meeting for owners to be notified of important events in a timely fashion (e.g., "Landscapers will begin trimming shrubs/trees on Monday", "Snow will be removed from roads starting Friday. The priority remains the hill up/down from the gate").  This will be done via Email broadcasts.  The "Resident List" on Documents page has the Email addresses we've been able to gather.  Please contact the Board if you see a change is needed. 

Estimates are being solicited from paving companies to fill in the pot holes and other pavement anomalies.
