NORTHDALE CIVIC ASSOCIATION COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER
Greetings to all Northdale residents and homeowners. I hope everyone is doing well and in good health. If you just joined our community, the Northdale Civic Association, Inc. (NCA) wants to take this opportunity to welcome you to the community. Northdale is a highly respected, low crime, family-oriented neighborhood that offers residents many amenities. Northdale businesses offer a wide variety of goods and services. Areas of concerns – lately, I’ve been receiving multiple emails, text messages and voicemails from homeowners and residents with Deed Restriction-related complaints. As most of you know, we (NCA) and Merit are collaborating in enforcing Deed Restrictions and addressing common Deed Restrictions violations. Although we’ve made significant progress over the years, we continue to receive complaints such as parking on the grass; unkempt properties; overgrown lawns; mold and/or mildew/
deteriorating paint on the house and extremely loud music violations that will or might disturb the peace and quiet of the occupants of surrounding property. As a reminder, parking on lawns is strictly prohibited. Boats and other watercraft, and boat trailers, may only be parked or stored in the garage, or on the Lot behind a fence and concealed from view from the street. Any driveway extensions must be constructed from the same concrete materials as and match the original driveway. The procedure for reporting and submitting a complaint about a “potential” violation, simply go to the NCA website, www.northdale.org. Click on “Deed Restrictions” in the menu on the left. Look for the link “Online Complaint Form,” click on it and follow the instructions. Lasty, please remember that the goal of these restrictions is to maintain our neighborhood’s appearance and support property values. NCA Membership - I want to thank the many homeowners that support our efforts with their membership $50.00 dollars. Membership allows the civic association to continue to sponsor many community-wide, family-oriented events such as, Family Fun Fest & Parade, Community Garage Sales, Easter Egg Hunt, 5K Pumpkin Run,
Holiday Lighting Contest, etc. You can become a NCA Board Member, or you can be an integral part of our newly created Advisory Groups to the board to help with community events. One of the top priorities of every homeowner is to protect the value of his or her home. Being involved with NCA in either capacity will put you in a better position to make a difference in your community. If you haven’t yet joined, we provide easy payment on-line at www.northdale.org, or return the form in this issue with your remittance. In closing, it is this board’s intention to not only act as a transparent organization, but to set best practices and support the entire Northdale community. We also need your help and highly encourage all members or potential members of the association to contact myself or your community representative with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. We invite residents to attend NCA Board meetings. They’re held the 3rd Tuesday of every month, except in December. Meetings begin at 7 P.M. at Northdale Park in the Bill Castens Gymnasium. Sincerely, Nelson Marcano President, Northdale Civic Association
