Rose Hill Plantation POA is responsible for the upkeep of the community as well as providing amenities like pools, tennis courts, parks, horse trails, walking paths, bocce ball courts, lagoons, docks, Colleton Point, golf course, equestrian facilities, infrastructure and more. Funding for maintaining these projects is raised through homeowner POA dues.
What do POA dues cover?
POA dues (assessments) are established by your board of directors based on a projection of the POA’s annual budget and the requirements laid out in the Rose Hill Covenants. Since board members are also residents, they are obligated to pay assessments like everyone else in the community.
Paying POA assessments is a vitally important part of keeping your neighborhood running smoothly. By sharing the costs, everyone benefits from properly maintained amenities that enhance resident lives and maintain or increase property values. Below is a detailed breakdown of how your POA assessments are allocated:
Current Year Operating Expenses:
Maintenance and Repairs: This includes landscaping, pool maintenance, horse trails, all infrastructure, and upkeep of common areas and amenities. Utilities and taxes: Payments for shared utilities like water, electricity, and gas for common areas and facilities.
Insurance: The POA is required to provide insurance coverage for the community’s property.
Security: This includes costs of security personnel, entrance gates, and security systems.
Management: Salaries for the POA management and maintenance personnel.
Reserve Funds: Long-Term Repairs and Replacements: 10% of your assessment each quarter goes towards the reserve fund, which is designed to cover the cost of major repairs and replacements like a roof replacement, road paving, or major upgrades to common areas or facilities.
Disaster Reserve Funds: From the 10% of your assessments each quarter allocated to Reserve Funds, $10,000, each quarter goes towards the Disaster Reserve. This assures we are prepared for any major storm or other disaster and helps reduce the possibility of a special storm assessment.
Unforeseen Expenses: A well-managed reserve fund ensures the POA has sufficient funds available when unforeseen expenses inevitably surface.
Without collection of sufficient POA dues, Rose Hill would face financial instability leading to a reduction in services and declining property values. Effective financial management and planning for the future is essential for Rose Hill to thrive in the coming years. Thank you for your part in keeping our community a Beaufort County treasure.

Shared Humanity and Unity
In our vibrant and diverse Rose Hill community, shared humanity and unity are more than just ideals – they are foundational principles that help a community thrive.
Shared humanity is recognizing and appreciating the commonalities that connect all people, transcending individual differences such as race, culture, religion, politics or socioeconomic status. It involves understanding that every person possesses inherent worth and dignity, regardless of their background or experiences. Shared humanity emphasizes empathy, compassion and respect for others, fostering a sense of unity and interconnectedness – a sense of an inclusive and supportive community.
When we come together in unity, we pool our strengths, resources and ideas to create a more vibrant and resilient Rose Hill. Unity can be achieved through respect, empathy and accountability, some of our community’s core values. Unity within families, neighborhoods and the broader community allows us to tackle challenges more effectively and celebrate successes with others. It is through unity that we can flourish as a community.
In any community, differing opinions and perspectives are inevitable. That’s why it’s crucial for us to approach our interactions with reasonableness and respect. Being reasonable means being open-minded, willing to listen, and seeking common ground.
Respect involves acknowledging the dignity and worth of others, even when we disagree. By fostering an environment of civil discourse, we can address differences constructively and work toward solutions that benefit everyone. Practicing empathy creates a community where individuals feel seen, heard and understood, fostering trust and solidarity. Accountability is essential for maintaining trust and integrity within our community. It means taking responsibility for our obligations and actions and being answerable to each other. Accountability involves being reliable neighbors, honest communicators and active participants in community life.
As residents of this great community, we are all stewards of Rose Hill’s future. It is imperative that we make a collective commitment to mutual respect and tolerance. Let us pledge to treat everyone with dignity and kindness who lives, plays, or visits Rose Hill. We can create a community where everyone feels welcome and valued by fostering an environment that prioritizes humanity and unity.
Let’s embrace the challenge of building a community centered on shared humanity through a respectful exchange of views and discussions of public issues. Together we can ensure that Rose Hill remains a place where diversity is celebrated, unity is pursued, and every individual is respected and valued. In doing so, we enhance our lives and contribute to a legacy of compassion, understanding and togetherness for future generations.

This winter there have been several projects in the works throughout Rose Hill.
The new year started off with Southeast Pipe repairing six high priority drainage issues. These repairs were identified in the Phase 2 inspections that were conducted in 2024. In February, Malphrus Utilities repaired a 48” concrete drainage pipe that runs under Whiteoaks Circle on the west end of Rose Hill. The drainage pipe was separated in several places and causing a large sinkhole next to the road.
In February, Estate Management conducted a Bathymetry study of all the lagoons throughout Rose Hill. This study is critical in identifying any lagoons that need dredging to remove excess silt buildup. The current NPDES MS4 stormwater regulations require pond owners to monitor and maintain stormwater capacity limits. Estate Management also dredged lagoon GDW-6, located at the back of Bill Baker Park. They removed 700 cubic yards of silt and debris that has accumulated over the years.
The restrooms at Willow Lake pool are in the process of being updated with fresh paint, flooring and fixtures. The project is scheduled to be completed by April 1st.
The maintenance team has also replaced seven dog waste stations throughout the community.

Spotlight on Committees
Long Range Planning
Submitted by Vanessa Weatherford, Co-chair of LRP
Your Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) is continuing to complete its task to create a master plan for Amenity Improvement & Enhancement.
This task has evolved, since 2023, from focusing on identifying common ground areas to incorporate community-identified “wants” to also include creating a 5 Year Plan for each individual existing Amenity - including repair, replacement, and enhancement options. These areas include the Colleton Point Landing & Dock, Clubhouse, Racket Areas, Pools, Playgrounds, etc. Many of these areas overlap with the initial spirit of Amenity Enhancement and Improvement and were a natural addition to this scope of work.
The LRPC Action Plan stems from resident feedback and Board directives which culminate in a final recommendation to the Board. This recommendation is formed by:
Thorough consideration of many factors, including
• Fiscal responsibility
• Project background/history, if any
• Covenant criteria and any Federal, State, or County criteria
• Impact to the community overall
• Impact on adjoining properties specifically
• Impact on or cooperation required of Amenity Operators
Adherence to LRPC Key Pillars
• Due Diligence
• Community Input
At this time, we are targeting the completion of the master plan for Amenity Improvement & Enhancement for the common ground areas which include Bill
Baker Park, Willow Lake, Wood Eden and Lot 104. We will recommend to the Board that the plan get implemented in a phased manner. Also included in our recommendation will be a fiscal guideline for possible implementation if and/or when it is within the community’s budget.
This Master Plan is intended to serve as an acknowledgement of the call from the community for additional amenities and enhancements, such as a gym, community garden, secondary playground, dog park, etc. We intend to deliver a comprehensive guideline that demonstrates to the POA and future Boards where these improvements could be made when it is affordable and if they are still desirable.
The next step towards completing this Master Plan is gathering your input and feedback on the preliminary plan that our design partner has created. Please come see what enhancements are possible and share your input. We want to include as many of your suggestions as possible so they can be incorporated in the final design plan – another piece of our recommendation to the board. If you want to be even more involved, consider applying for the open member position we have on the LRPC.
Please look out for our Focus Group schedule and be sure to sign-up to participate

Rose Hill LGA News
Submitted by Bunny Stoykovich
As we embark on a new year, our growth continues to progress. We have added several new members and fill Wednesdays and Saturdays with LGA and MGA members, to complement our beautiful golf course with a strong contingent of not only Rose Hill members but members to both organizations from outside the community.
This is a very important factor to the rejuvenation of Rose Hill Golf Course and the care and improvements that IGM have made in the past few years. IGM has joined the two associations together on the same days which enables the course to offer another day for the enjoyment of visitors, vacationers and die-hard golfers. It is a thrill to play another course and have someone you play with say, “where do you usually play?” Of course, it is great to say, “we are members at Rose Hill but we are playing here today as they have a special tournament playing a multi-day tournament at our course. Numerous special tournaments have occurred over the past year and have been well-received. Additionally, our members have enjoyed participating in various memorable events during the holidays
The LGA held their Annual Meeting in February at Fair Winds. This is always a fun filled time for members as people are recognized for their service on the Board and rewards are given out for out Chip-In and Birdies culminated for the year.
The new slate of officers for 2025 is:
Susan Tirard – President
Sue Wolford – Vice President
Treasurer – June Buggie
Secretary – Donna Shrider
We are fortunate to have a Handicap Chair. She not only checks putting in scores and handicaps but keeps track of the Birdies and Chip-Ins that occur throughout the year. We all say, thank you Terry Boyer for the job you do. Here are the top awards in these two categories and recognize they go all the way down to one for payouts. Twenty participants scored one Birdie or more but here are the top three.
Birdies:
Marilyn Woods – 24
Jackie Currie – 21
Donna Shrider and Sue Wolford – 4 each.
Chip-Ins
Marilyn Woods – 21
Jackie Currie and Terry Boyer – 11 each
June Buggie, Bunny Stoykovich and Sue Wolford – 10 each
The Shamrock Shamble tournament raised $895 for Bluffton Community Kitchen
A fun note from Terry’s record keeping is, there was one Chip In at least on every hole. The most Chip Ins on all the holes was #10 and #16 that had 12 Chip Ins each.
We look forward to a wonderful 2025 season and though off to a cold start, we are beginning to feel those warmer temperatures we all live here for.
If anyone is interested in joining the LGA , please contact the Pro Shop and they can help with any information you need.
St Patrick’s Day Attire and fun!

At the turn
IGM Quarter 1 Update
Other than a week of snow, ice and frozen greens, over all the winter wasn’t too bad. Below are some of the projects worked on to better prepare the course as it comes out of dormancy.
Completed Maintenance Projects
THE CART PATHS are in poor shape with areas impacted by tree roots that have buckled the asphalt, creating a rough ride with numerous “speed bumps”. A milling attachment for a skid steer was rented for a short time and most, if not all, speed bumps have been shaved off in order to make the ride a bit smoother.
THE WINTER/SPRING WEED CONTROL PROGRAM worked extremely well, and the golf course is predominantly weed free. This improved weed control will extend into the summer season.
A LARGE-SCALE TREE TRIMMING PROJECT is nearing completion. Most trees have been trimmed up to a height of 10’-12’. This gives the golf course a much cleaner appearance, provides the golfers with better shot options and improves the sight lines for those who live along the golf course. The project will be completed by the end of March.
WE EXPERIENCED SOME ISSUES WITH THE RECENTLY INSTALLED IRRIGATION SYSTEM. The hardware modules that are included in every sprinkler were starting to malfunction. These modules communicate with the central control system and turn on and turn off the sprinkler in coordination with the scheduled watering program. After constant communication with TORO, the supplier of the hardware, it was determined that a bad batch of modules were produced during the COVID pandemic. Thankfully TORO stood behind their product and their warranty. They contracted a team to replace all the modules on all of the sprinklers at no cost to Rose Hill. The team replaced 820 modules in 2 ½ days which is very impressive. The entire system is now working as intended.
Scheduled Maintenance
THE GREENS WILL RECEIVE A DRYJECT AERIFICATION May 12 and May 13. A DryJect aerification uses jets of high-pressure water to blast holes into the greens followed by a sand injection directly into the blast holes. The purpose of the procedure is to incorporate fresh sand into the soil profile which will facilitate better drainage while forcing oxygen into the soil which encourages deeper rooting and better plant health. With the increased rooting and better plant health we plan to increase greens speeds for the season.
THERE WILL BE YARDAGE PLATES INSTALLED on the tees this spring. Concrete blocks have been painted and will be dug into each tee with the corresponding tee color. This will help golfers choose the proper club, improve the experience and help speed up play.

Equestrian Center News
We are putting it all into high gear at the Rose Hill Equestrian Center as we eagerly welcome the spring season.
The winter task list items are mostly complete. The feed room is coming along with the walls and ceiling done and staining and lacquering in progress. The shelving and countertops will be installed over the next few weeks. We have been working with the POA to get the unusable feed room up to standard and will soon be ready to store our feed and supplement items safely and sanitarily.
The horses really enjoyed their cooler workouts. Our showing team focused on honing their skills with some great training lessons. We did some local showing to keep our competitive edge and it truly paid off at our recent away-show over St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
We had a blast celebrating the holiday with the horses and barn friends.
Resident Paige Reynolds, after returning to the show circuit after 15 years, earned Reserve TIP Hunter on day one and Champion on day two.
Resident Olivia Vaughn came away with plenty of ribbons – 14 in total! She earned Champion Hunter and Champion Equitation both days of showing.

Notable Neighbor: Vannessa Weatherford
Making a difference.
Submitted by Jill Przybocki
Vanessa’s family moved to Rose Hill in 1997 from California. She moved away to attend college and spent fifteen years working with young people in outdoor therapeutic treatment programs in Alabama.
Her education in equine science, management and equine assisted psychotherapy empowered her to use horses to help people with behavior, trauma and learning difficulties.
Vanessa thrived in helping people find their own unique and lasting solutions to the challenges they faced. She guided her students through therapeutic interaction with the horses, and as the kids progressed in their treatment they also participated in mounted trail rides. These equine activities and challenges helped to achieve results that traditional methods could not.
Vannessa, her husband Duane and daughter Elizabeth moved back to Rose Hill in 2019. She loves their oak-filled property, and having her horses in the back yard in view of her home. Her horse, “Stretch,” lived 36 happy years thanks to her equine knowledge, her constant love and attention, and her determination to enable him to live as natural a horse-life as possible. She also has two mini horses named “Diesel” and “Mini Cooper.”
Vannessa formed the Rose Hill Equestrian Club to help unite equestrian neighbors, share resources, do some learning workshops, and just get to know each other better. She loves sharing the joy of horses with the community, especially the kids. She has hosted Halloween and Christmas activities for young residents at her personal barn. The kids love grooming the horses, dressing them up and parading them around. She also loves being involved with the Rose Hill Equestrian Center and helping in any way she can to continue to make it the hub of equestrian life here at Rose Hill.
Vannessa led the charge to have the last two polo matches here at Rose Hill which was a huge commitment. She donated an incredible amount of time and effort to pull off these charitable polo matches. She is also a long-standing member of the long-range planning committee. She feels lucky to work with such a diverse group of neighbors who volunteer their time so generously.
Family is Vannessa’s first priority but she always seems to find the time to help her friends, neighbors and community, even when life is too busy. She is a joy to have as a neighbor — quick to laugh, eager to help, and one of Rose Hill’s best advocates.
To share your story or nominating a “Notable” neighbor, please write a short, descriptive paragraph and submit via email it to Carolina Adams at caroline@rosehillpoa.com.

Consider these tips during Spring Clean-Up
Debris piles in your yard can pose several dangers, including: attracting pests like rodents and insects, creating fire hazards due to potential spontaneous combustion, harboring mold and allergens, contributing to water pollution if not properly disposed of, and potentially causing respiratory issues from dust and debris when disturbed; particularly concerning for individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions.
Specific dangers of debris piles:
Pest infestation:
Leaf piles and debris can provide shelter for rodents, ticks, spiders, snakes, and other pests, bringing them closer to your home and potentially causing health concerns.
Fire risk:
Large piles of yard debris can spontaneously combust under certain conditions, especially when compacted, leading to potential fires if not properly managed.
Air quality issues:
Burning debris, even in small piles, can release harmful smoke and particulate matter into the air, exacerbating respiratory problems for people with asthma or other breathing difficulties.
Mold growth:
Moist debris piles can foster mold growth, which can trigger allergies in susceptible individuals.
Water pollution:
When yard waste like leaves and grass clippings are washed into waterways, they can deplete oxygen levels, harming aquatic life.
Structural damage:
Large debris piles near buildings can cause damage to foundations or siding, especially during heavy rain or snow.
Important considerations:
Proper disposal:
Always dispose of yard waste appropriately, either by composting, mulching, or taking it to a designated facility.
Regular maintenance:
Regularly remove debris from your yard to prevent accumulation and associated hazards.
Check local regulations:
Be aware of local laws regarding burning yard waste and obtain necessary permits if needed.
Safety precautions when handling debris: Wear protective gear like gloves and masks when dealing with large debris piles to minimize exposure to dust and allergens.
news from Caring Neighbors
Submitted by Jane Phipps
Caring Neighbors held another Food Drive for Bluffton Self Help from February 4 - 17.
The unusual snowstorm in January was a light-hearted, memorable experience for some but was a financial hardship for many who lost several days of work due to the weather. This highlights the fact that so many in our community are just one misstep away from falling behind. With the generosity of many Rose Hill residents, we were able to help re-stock the empty shelves at Bluffton Self Help.
The volunteers and staff were very grateful that we were able to provide them with many of the items they were in need of. Thank you for your donations!
Caring Neighbors would like to remind you that we have 4 AED defibrillators in Rose Hill. One is at Oak Terrace in the hallway outside of the Ladies Room and the other 3 are located at each swimming pool. The POA plans to order 2 - 3 more.
Call 911 immediately and start CPR if necessary while a second person gets the AED. Once it is turned on, the defibrillator will give you step by step instructions for its use.
Our hope is that you will never need to utilize this device but being prepared may lessen the severity of a cardiac situation should one arise.
