The 5^th Amendment Leads the Way

• The Creation of Lake Ridge Park — With this major neighborhood enhancement, residents will have a beautiful destination to meet friends and neighbors.  Come to picnic, fish from the shoreline of Lake Ridge Pond, or simply stop, rest a while and enjoy the peace and tranquility.  Lake Ridge Pond has been stocked with Bass, Blue Gill, Crappie, and Sunfish to tempt anglers of all ages to exercise and hone their skills.  Be sure to check in on this park from time to time as it continues to blossom and future plans unfold.  Meet you at the park!

• Sidewalk Extensions — Thanks to the 5^th Amendment, we have been able to enhance our current Sidewalk Replacement Program with additional new sidewalk extensions.  These extensions have served to connect sidewalks along areas previously absent of pedestrian walkways, directing pedestrian traffic to our brick crosswalks.  Our “walkers” have already commented on what an improvement this has made to their daily stroll!

• Installation of a Pond Pump — This will improve the way we deliver water to maintain our common area grass and plantings, serving to dramatically reduce our water bill into the future.

• Broadened Scope of Architectural Approvals — As individual residents, you may already be seeing improvements to the scope of architectural approval requests allowed.  While we are obligated to go through an Architectural Approval Process for any and all exterior or landscape improvements, the 5^th Amendment has given your Architectural Committee and Landscape Committee additional outreach to support certain requests that previously couldn’t be considered.  Just one example:  Do you think a retractable awning might make your summers on the back deck more enjoyable?  The 5^th Amendment has made this consideration possible to the Architectural Committee.  With the passage of the 5^th Amendment, your Board of Directors can better serve you.
