2007 Fence Replacement

Notice for everyone along 284th/Batten!

The fence replacement project is finally scheduled to begin the week of December 21st. We know this is not ideal timing but fence companies have been swamped and have had supply shortages of construction materials so this was the best they could do for us on such a large project.

For anyone with an existing gate, please decide if you would like to keep it or if you would prefer not to have it reinstalled. If anyone without a gate would like one please call Troy and let him know. The cost to you would only be $150 if it is installed during the fence replacement. Those that have gates currently will not be charged for a new one.

Schedule:
December 21/22: Demolition of the existing fence

December 23: Holes for new posts dug

December 24: New posts installed

December 25-27: Christmas work break

December 28-31: New boards and gates installed. They are going to start with the Stewart’s yard and go out from there.

We completely understand this is not ideal and will be an inconvenience over the holiday but this was the best we could do.

Thanks for your understanding and Happy Holidays!

If you have questions please reach out to Troy at troy4cedars@gmail.com or 425-606-0090

**UPDATE Moving forward as of 8/20/2019 the HOA will no longer reimburse or pay for repairs, maintenance or replacement of fencing on homeowner property. This includes the fences facing 284th Street NE (Batten Road NE) that had previously been replaced and repaired by the HOA on multiple occasions. After much discussion, it has been determined that it is unfair to use dues collected from all homeowners to cover a few homeowners (less than 10%) and not others simply based on the street they live on.

The CC&R’s are being updated to reflect this and we will keep you updated and make sure everyone is notified when they are available to read through.

OLD POST FOLLOWS…
Following last night’s wind storm I thought it may be a good idea to bring this subject to the top again…

Several residents had sections of fencing damaged during the wind storm on December 14th, 2018 and asked the HOA about reimbursement for materials to repair the damage themselves or have the repairs done. The answer on our Facebook page from Secretary, Jennifer Knaplund, covers this quite concisely:
”Historically the HOA has maintained the fence that borders our development along Batten. All other fences are the responsibility of the homeowner.”

Fences bordering Batten or any other community area that are damaged by severe weather may be covered by the HOA, however, this needs to be addressed on an individual basis. Please notify a board member as soon as possible and they will work with you to take appropriate action. Unless the fence must be repaired immediately for safety reasons the HOA prefers to receive several bids for work and choose a contractor.

Fences that run between neighbors and do not face a community area are the sole responsibility of the homeowner to properly maintain and repair when damage occurs.

If you’re unsure or have further questions about a particular situation please contact a friendly, neighborhood board member!
