Teams from Wide Open Landscaping will soon begin our annual fall cleanup, which will include trimming of shrubs and bushes, and a general clearing of landscape debris.

We realize that some unit owners have made special plantings and landscaping improvements on their own, and that they may wish to have these areas left undisturbed. If that is the case, please share your wishes and any other concerns you may have with the management company, either by adding a maintenance request through the portal or by email to APM: This email address is being protected from spambots.

The 2024 Reseve Fund Study is now complete for the Silver Vally Condominium Association.

Reserve Fund Studies (RFS) are conducted periodically by an approved, professional third party to evaluate the overall condition of the community buildings and infrastructure. Our current RFS, like its predecessor several years ago, was conducted by Reserve Advisors, a company specializing in the preparation of these studies.

The RFS inventory, evaluation, and recommendations are then used as a general guidline by the board to make both short and long term plans for the maintenance, repair, or replacement of our buildings, infrastructure, and assets. The study helps identify issues, direct board actions, and estimate costs and the funding required to properly maintain our community.

Here's an update on ongoing repairs and maintenance throughout the community:

• Street lights were recently inspected and repaired to address specific issues with posts, covers, and wiring.
• The handrails on Ridge Side Court are being inspected and repaired, as needed. Metal railing supports and wooden handrails are being painted/stained. Loose rails are being re-secured with fresh bolts.
• Landscaping continues to restore areas that were overgrown, or to address landscape damage caused when trees were removed earlier this year.
• Six more front stoops have been rebuilt on Lake Terrace Drive. Work included masonry repairs to the stairwell support walls, and freshly poured concrete steps and landings.
  

Tree Tenders have completed the removal of eleven trees at 92 and 104 Silver Valley Blvd, 96 and 100 - 106 Olson Spur.  A total of 11 trees were removed. 

Tree stumps are to be removed at a later date. 

Requests for Change Requirements and Approval Process

Here's an explanation of how Request for Change forms are processesed.

• All changes to the common area or unit exterior require a Request for Change.
• Please fill out the Request for Change completely, and sign it. Requests for Change that are not signed by the unit owner will not be considered. NOTE: The Board is less likely to approve any request that is short on specific details, and may return it to the unit owner for clarification.
• Any Requests for Change that involve structural changes, repairs, or additions (e.g. decks, doors, and windows) require detailed drawings/explanations. Where needed, the project must also be submitted to the city for permits and inspections.
• Please submit all Requests for Change to the management company at least one month before the project is to begin (two months is better); if an expedited vote is needed for special circumstances, please specify the reasons—in detail—to the property manager when making your request. Do so in writing.
• The property manager gathers all Requests for Change as they are received, and then adds them to the agenda for the next scheduled meeting.
• The Board meets monthly (except in May and December).
• The Board may elect at its discretion to review and vote on a Request for Change between meetings. The Board discourages this approach: by Ohio law, all email votes require unanimous Board approval; a motion to approve a Request for Change at a regular Board meeting can pass with a simple majority.
• There are 111 units in our Association. Your request is probably not the only one the Board is asked to review and approve at any given time.
