THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

FROM JERRY RESTAINO

President’s Message

S

hortly we will be coming to the close of a great year for the POA. Revenue is above last year’s income, amenities are being used, and new residents are joining the premier, Gold Star Recreation community in NEPA. A lot to be proud of.

We accomplished the above under the tutelage of Larry Frotten, managers and all staff. We have a cohesive organizational structure.

Two important dates for the community are December 7 (community budget review), and December 14 (Board vote for 2020 budget), both at the POA and starting at 9:00 a.m.

The Board is reviewing proposals for back-up electrical power at the Clubhouse, Lodge and RSC. Andrew Miller and I will coordinate this project.

We are also reviewing proposals for a fire suppression system at the Lodge that will include removing the existing suspended ceiling and installing a new one after the suppression system is installed. We will also review a proposal to install a new sound system at the Lodge. The RSC is our emergency facility to report to when the need arises.

The Governing Documents Committee has submitted 2 CMR’s to the Board for modification of Article 9, Sections 3, 6, 7, 8 and Article 10, Section 5. Those modifications will be mailed to residents with the annual dues assessment. More information will follow.

Recycling and refuse collection is being reviewed by the Public Works Committee in conjunction with a legal opinion from our attorney. It is illegal to place or dump pvc piping and fittings into our recycling bins. No construction material is allowed.

This will be discussed into next year.

We take very seriously any issues that may cause a problem with our liquor license. Larry Frotten and F&B Manager Karen Kegel are responsible for that license. Our bartenders have the authority to refuse to serve alcohol to any unruly or intoxicated person. Believe it or not it has recently happened. Be advised that if you are unruly at the Clubhouse or Lodge, you run the risk of being removed from the premises, being fined and banned from those locations for a period of time. That has also happened.

Consider the following hypothetical: 3 members go the Bistro for dinner, ID is required and presented. One of the members, in an unrelated matter, refused to pay a fine, which is being appealed, therefore that individual is not a member in good standing. Can that individual be the guest of a member in good standing?

The answer is no because if you are not

a member in good standing you cannot use our amenities.

If it did occur, that was then and this is now. Rules will be enforced and most importantly, you want those rules enforced. If not handled properly this scenario can cause tension and problems.

Maybe it will not happen.

We received a taste of some really cold weather and we survived so let’s get ready for the start of winter, December 21. Our maintenance staff is ready for the hardships of winter. During a recent storm with power outages our maintenance staff was incredible starting to work at 3:00 a.m. to remove fallen trees and clear our roads.

A well-deserved thank you.

Check out our new structures and kitchen at the Ski Hill, even if you are like me and do not ski. I am happy when I see so many residents and families using our amenities especially children using our ski hill. I watch with awe as an elementary school student comes down the hill without a scratch and then goes back up the chair lift.

Dates to remember: December 7 Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day December 21 Winter Begins December 22 Hanukkah Begins at Sundown December 25 Christmas Day December 26 Kwanzaa Begins December 31 New Year’s Eve The New Year’s Eve celebration at the Lodge was sold out very quickly, which is a credit to the F&B Department. On that topic the Board continues to hear very positive comments about the Bistro, and we acknowledge those comments.

The 50th Anniversary Committee met in November and will meet again on December 2nd. The Committee has made a lot of progress and will continue to do so. John Boandl and Karen Kegel have a lot of heavy lifting to do. However, we do have a lot of volunteers.

For those of us traveling during the holidays let us all be safe.

I wish all residents a joyous, healthy and prosperous New Year filled with accomplishments and opportunities to make new friends.

Best regards, Jerry

FROM LARRY FROTTEN

Community Manager’s Message

B

y the time you read this message the colorful leaves have mostly disappeared from the trees and accumulated on our lots signaling the coming of another season - winter.

We have recently experienced some unseasonably cold weather and we can only hope that the weather ahead will be more gentle to us all. As a reminder, please make sure your homes are secure with the cold temperatures coming.

Broken water pipes are never a pleasant experience for any home owner.

Thanksgiving has come and gone by this time and we hope it was a wonderful holiday that was enjoyed by all your family and friends. Christmas is around the corner and is another joyous holiday to share with friends and family. Our Christmas tree lighting will take place at Roamingwood Park. Our scheduled date is December 7, 6:00 p.m. Please check The Hideout publications for more information and any updates. This year Maintenance has arranged to have the outside bathrooms, at Roamingwood Park, open for this event. We encourage all members to come and enjoy this wonderful holiday event that will surely put you in the holiday spirit.

Winter weather in the Poconos is always unpredictable and sometimes unforgiving. We urge all our residents to be vigilant especially when our personnel are out performing their assignments.

Our streets can best be maintained during snowstorms when vehicles and pedestrians don’t hinder their progress.

Plowing and treating our streets in inclement weather is a difficult task and we hope that our members will assist in making this task safer for all. Members can be especially helpful by advising the POA when there are areas of concern involving icy conditions or other safety issues. Being cautious while walking and driving in winter weather is always the best approach to handling our winter weather.

The Board has approved the installation of a fire suppression system for the Lodge and final plans are being reviewed. This project has been delayed for various

reasons; however, the time has come to make some improvements and insure the safety of our members.

The system will require the removal of the existing ceiling in the main function room and the installation of a new ceiling. The project will also include a new audio system and new lighting. The budget for 2020 also includes a new floor for this facility. These are necessary improvements both for safety reasons and the enhancement of our community. The work on the Lodge is scheduled from January 6, 2020 through May 1, 2020 enabling the project to be totally completed. The main function room will be closed beginning January 6, 2020, but should be available for use in early March as the contractors have been given a directive informing them that the work has to commence with the main floor.

This is the 2020 budget review time.

Pursuant to our Bylaws, the budget has been posted for members to review in 5 locations. The North and South mailboxes, the POA administration office, the Clubhouse, and Recreation Center.

The budget has also been posted to our community newspaper - The Hideabout.

We encourage you to review the proposed budget which has been approved by the Board and the Budget Committee. The community budget review is scheduled for December 7, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. at the POA. By the time you have the opportunity to read this message, as previously noted, Thanksgiving has come and gone. Again, we hope your holiday was all you wanted it to be and that you had the opportunity to share time and conversation with family and friends.

On behalf of all our employees we wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas. We hope that you all enjoy a healthy and joyous 2020 and that all you wish for becomes a reality.

FROM BRAD SCHUMACHER, FACILITIES MANAGER

Public Works Corner

W

inter is upon us once again and I would like to go over the snow plowing strategy with the community.

In the event of inclement weather, the Public Safety Department will assess the condition of the roads and make the initial call to the Maintenance Department. If the snow event is under an inch of snow, we will apply a mixture of salt and antiskid on the roads and parking lots. If the event is going to be more than an inch of snow, we will bring in all personnel and get them out on their pre-assigned routes.

While out on the routes we will normally have two trucks per route, one plow truck and one plow and salt truck running in tandem. Our primary focus during a storm event is to keep the roads open with main roads being opened first and then secondary roads and courts.

Amenity parking lots are saved until last unless the amenity is open. Once the snow event is over the plows will finish opening all the roads on their route and then work on clearing parking lots. We

will also be salting the roads as we go to ensure a good melt of any residual snow or ice on the road.

Each route takes about an hour to an hour and a half to complete so please be patient. In the days following a storm we will be out trying to push back the sides of roads and intersections so we have room to put more snow if needed.

We ask that if you have to be out in inclement weather that you take your time and reach your destination safely. We also ask that if you have anything such as toys, portable basketball nets, or vehicles near the edge of the road that you move them back off the edge of the road so that there is no incidental damage.

As always be safe, take your time, and have a very Happy, Healthy Holiday Season!

We have an App!

The Hideout App will give you information on events happening in our community.

FROM MICHAEL TERRANOVA

Chairman's Message P

ut another Thanksgiving in the books.

Hoping that our members and staff had a great holiday with family and friends.

Time to focus on Christmas and Hanukkah. Any time spent with family and friends, is time well spent.

In recent weeks there has been a lot of chatter about the Clubhouse and Bistro. The Board of Directors are very impressed with of Food and Beverage manager, Karen Kegel. She, and her team, have really turned things around.

The quality of food has greatly improved.

The training of staff is wonderful. You can see that the work environment there has vastly improved. It's so nice to engage in conversation with the staff and see them smiling. My old Italian Grand Dad used to say, " A happy employee is a productive employee". Thank you and keep up the good work.

It seems that every month I write about the trash and recycling in our community.

There was a new compactor installed recently. Please abide by the rules set forth on what is acceptable trash. The cost of repair or replacement of the units is not cheap. Most importantly contractor debris is not acceptable, it does substantial damage to the equipment.

If any member or contractor is caught dumping construction debris it will result in a citation.

Our President Jerry Restiano has been involved in conversations with RS&W over the last few months. His objective, as well as that of the Board of Directors, is to open the lines of communication with them.

We need a cooperative relationship with them to address any issues that are still opened in regards to the sewer and water project. I urge all of our members to take the time to attend RS&W's next meeting. It shouldn't be an us against them relationship. That won't accomplish anything. Again I say, we need a cooperative relationship. We all live under one roof, "The Hideout". Let's open the lines of communication and move things forward.

As always I ask our members and guests to be courteous to our staff while in the proformance of their jobs.

Let's all be kind to each other in the spirit of the upcoming holiday season.

Happy Holidays to all!

FROM KAREN KEGEL, FOOD & BEVERAGE MANAGER

Food & Beverage Corner N ovember truly came and went so quickly. We opened for breakfast at the Bistro on the Green and we sure have been busy! The community seems to really enjoy our Saturday and Sunday mornings from 8am-12pm. We do fill up quickly so may I suggest calling for a reservation. We have some exciting things going on in our Food & Beverage outlets. December 22nd please come down to the Pub, Jimmy Brown will be hosting a Christmas carol for all to participate in and enjoy! 6pm-10pm. Grab a friend, enjoy some wine and come sing with us. New Year’s Eve is right around the corner. While the Lodge sold out immediately, we do have a beautiful menu for the Bistro on the Green and room for you to celebrate the New Year. Taking reservations 4pm-10pm at the Bistro.

The Pub will be open - no reservations needed - and we will be serving the full Pub menu from 4pm-midnight with a DJ. Chef de Cuisine Joe Infante has been diligently working his magic in the kitchen and I promise his New Year’s Eve menu will delight you. Just a little note about Joe, he grew up here in The Hideout and showed an interest at the young age of 5 tagging along side his Grandparent’s and mother learning Italian style cooking in the kitchen. He attended Western Wayne high school and joined the cooking classes provide there, where he truly became inspired and knew this was his path in life.

He made his way to Johnson and Wales University known for its culinary arts program, one of the largest food service educators in the world. Chef De Cuisine Joe has enjoyed his journey, which consisted of an internship at the Hawley based restaurant Glass. Glass is an elevated American small plate dining experience where culinary skills get sharpened and experience is gained. Joe has been with us for 5 years and is excited to have the opportunity to show this community what he can do in the kitchen. In a short few months he has created the Bistro Menu, the Breakfast Menu and will continue to add new plates for you to enjoy. While he doesn’t have much spare time Chef de Cuisine Joe does enjoy playing guitar, the harmonica, the banjo and if your lucky enough to be around sings! If you haven’t met your chef in the Clubhouse kitchen please come by and say hello. The Food & Beverage team is lucky to have him steering the ship at the Clubhouse, we can’t wait to see what else will be coming across the tables in the Pub and at the Bistro on the Green! Happy holidays to all.

Cheer’s and Happy new Year to all!

FROM RYAN HILL, M.S.ED, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER

Environmental Corner S eason’s greetings folks!

Winter is upon us, and with that, our friends of the forest are going to be in extra demand for food sources to prepare for the harsh winter weather.

Members are reminded that bird feeders are permitted in the community as long as they are a minimum of eight (8) feet off the ground, and are not permanently attached to trees.

Setting out food for wildlife, however, is not permitted and can result in a hefty fine. Please do not engage in these activities as it is ultimately not beneficial to our wildlife, and is counter productive to our wildlife management efforts.

As the temperature continues to drop, our waterbodies will begin freezing over.

For safety reasons, ice fishing is not permitted on any of the lakes within the community. Fortunately, many other recreational lakes exist just outside of The Hideout for those activities, such as at Lake Wallenpaupack or at one of the local State Parks. Always use caution and pay attention to posted signs regarding

ice fishing and ice conditions at those areas.

My department is making arrangements to host the Wayne County Lyme Disease Task Force for several educational sessions on the prevalence of Deer Ticks, and subsequentially, Lyme Disease in the local area. This highly informative group will further reiterate our need to continue actively managing our deer herd as time goes on. Please keep an eye out for announcements on the dates and times of these events.

As a reminder, Board of Directors Motion 19-79 will be effective January 1 2020, specific to the requirement that a current As-Built Survey, indicating property lines, setbacks, and final locations of all permanent structures, be required for residential resale inspections to occur.

By: Ryan J. Hill, M.S.ED, Environmental Manager

The Blacklegged (Deer) Tick (Ixodes scapularis)

Like it or not folks, Ticks are unfortunately a part of both The Hideout’s and the entire Commonwealth’s ecosystem. As mentioned in the May 2019 Hideabout, the Opossum is the primary predator of these small arachnids, consuming up to 5,000 a year.

Here are some interesting facts about the Blacklegged (Deer) Tick: *It’s one of several species of tick that inhabit Pennsylvania, with prominent others being the American Dog Tick, the Lone-Star Tick, and the Groundhog Tick. *Different ticks can transmit different pathogens to humans and animals alike. *Blacklegged Ticks are known to transmit pathogens to humans, such as Lyme Disease, Powassan Virus, Bartonella, Babesiosis, and Anaplasmosis. *Ticks are not insects! Insects have 6 legs whereas ticks have 8 legs, classifying them as arachnids. *Lyme Disease received its name from Lyme, Connecticut, where the disease

was first discovered. Pennsylvania unfortunately ranks first in the number of Lyme disease cases. *To help reduce contact with Blacklegged Ticks, and ticks in general, always utilize repellant products containing DEET, Permethrin and/or Picaridin and by following their directions. After being outdoors, check yourself and others thoroughly for ticks, washing clothes and showering promptly. If taking a pet afield, check him/her thoroughly before allowing back into the house.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

PHYSICAL THERAPY: THE BETTER CHOICE FOR PAIN By: Bernard J. Povanda, PT, COMT, Direct Access Certified

T

he opioid epidemic has been big news.

No one wants to live in constant pain, but many people also don’t want to face the risks associated with opioid painkillers.

Opioids are highly addictive and can lead to depression, overdose, and withdrawal symptoms – stealing one’s quality of life and destroying relationships in the process. While opioids are appropriate in certain situations, they usually are NOT the best first course of action. If you develop musculoskeletal pain, like back or neck, shoulder, knee or hip pain, choose to see a physical therapist first.

Physical therapy has been found to be an effective alternative to surgery for many musculoskeletal conditions including meniscal tears, knee osteoarthritis, and rotator cuff tears. In many cases, you can visit a physical therapist via direct access, and you can get started on the road to recovery right away. Your PT can assess your condition and refer you to a specialist if necessary, but many times your condition can be managed in the PT clinic.

Whereas opioids only mask the sensation of pain, physical therapists treat pain through movement and exercise, helping patients improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Manual therapy is a hands-on approach to treating pain. It can reduce pain and improve movement.

Physical therapists also educate their patients about pain, understanding their patient’s pain history, and then helping their patient to set realistic goals, which has been known to improve their outcome.

You are in control of your healthcare, and understanding the dangers of opioid medication use and abuse can help you make the best decisions for your pain management strategy. Pain-free movement is essential to your quality of life and independence. Contact your local physical therapist to discuss, evaluate and help you with your pain today!

Public Works Committee Meeting Minutes - 11/13/19 Call to Order: Peter Boyer - Chairperson Pledge of Allegiance Present: Peter Boyer - Chairperson, Andy Vuolo, Robert Addieg, Laura Rusnak, Michele Popadynec, Rich Straczynski, John Thompson, Brad Schumacher, Facilities Manager, Craig Rafaniello, Maintenance Supervisor, Michael Terranova – Board Liaison, Tina Fairfax – Facilities Coordinator, Excused: Karl Englert, Richard Maxwell,

Minutes from meeting on October 9, 2019 for approval. Any changes, questions or comments: The minutes were approved without any changes.

Motion to accept: Laura Rusnak Second by: Rich Straczynski All in favor DISCUSSION ANNOUNCEMENTS: • Brad informed the committee of the following: • All docks and buoys have been removed from the lake and the lake has been lowered 5 feet.

• Heaters have been installed in the bathrooms at Roamingwood Park.

• Stormwater work continues.

• Plows, salters and brine are ready to go for the winter season.

• Traffic studies at the gates is complete and we have the results.

Dog Park: Craig informed the committee that the issues with the fencing have been assessed, holes have been staked and pink tape has been put on. Concern was expressed about the holes under the table where water gathers. This can cause icy conditions which can create hazards for people. This will be addressed.

Scrap Metal: A discussion of how to properly dispose of scrap metal/computer equipment.

An inquiry was raised as to whether we can get a container where scrap metal can be disposed of. Craig informed the committee that we can look into this. A few times a year there is a computer disposal sponsored by various outside entities. We will try to make the community aware of these events when they come up.

Trash/Recycling: Brad informed the committee that RFP’s have been sent out for out upcoming Trash/Recycling Contract. He also informed the committee that we have some new companies that have expressed interest in supplying bids. He also informed the committee that our new pre-crusher has been installed. It was suggested that we hold

a quarterly review with whichever company gets the contract as well as the possibility of adding a recycling compactor.

North Gate: Laura advised the committee that there is graffiti on a tree on the west side of this area. Brad informed the committee that Maintenance is aware of this and they are going to try to remove it.

Brad advised the committee that we have a quote in regarding the ponding of water at the North Gate. He further explained that this is a complex project due to things that are under the road, (electrical, etc.).

Seal Coating: Brad informed the committee that a plan is being put in for the spring.

The plan will include slowly re-establishing a 3-man road crew and training staff on the use of the CRAFCO EZPour Tar Kettle. A question was asked as to whether flagman are required by the By-Laws. We will check into this. Conversation ensued whether having flagmen will limit liability for the community. It was suggested that Public Safety could provide this service if needed.

North Mailbox Area: The committee thanked the department for the lighting in this area.

It was brought up that there is a pot hole in the back of this area. Brad informed the committee that they are keeping an eye on it.

Woodworkers: The committee was advised that as of Jan 1, 2020, any requests for the Woodworkers should be addressed to Ken Wentz, President. The committee was advised that the Environmental Manager had asked them to build a lectern for his Deer Exclusion Center. In order to build it they will need plywood. The committee was advised that the wood is at the Maintenance Shop and will be brought down to the Woodworkers.

Mike Terranova: Mike expressed to the committee that the Maintenance Department (including the Housekeeping Staff) is doing a great job. He advised the committee that as he goes through the community he sees less and less that needs to be addressed as the department is getting to things in a very timely manner and work orders are being completed quickly. The committee concurred with his assessment.

Rich Straczynski suggested that if Brad’s December Hideabout article had not been completed yet, perhaps it would be a good idea to write about the Maintenance Departments snow removal strategy so the membership has a better understanding of the process.

Lakes Committee Draft Minutes of Meeting - 10/26/19

Chair: Iggy Rivera Members: Kent Fairfield, Jim McLoone, Rick Nolte, Judy Restaino Staff: Ryan Hill Excused: Steve Flapan, Karen Greenfeld, Arnie Milidantri, Jeff Silverman Guests: Eileen Culley, Deborah Gardiner The meeting was called to order at 9:04 followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. The minutes of the previous meeting were approved as written with a motion by K. Fairfield, a second by Rick Nolte and approval by all (5-0-0).

OLD BUSINESS: All old business that has been completed was not addressed.

NEW BUSINESS: Aquatic Plants: Eileen Culley, a Deerfield Lake resident, is very concerned about the lily pads which are encroaching on her lake property to the extent that they cannot use their lakefront. She feels that is destroying the property value of her home. She feels that the aeration system might have caused the prolific growth and would like something to be done about it. R. Hill will look into it as perhaps one of the diffuser tubes can be redirected in the spring as aquatic vegetation control has ended for the year.

Jet Skis: It was brought to the attention of the committee that the noise from jet skis can be very annoying to those who wish for a peaceful day at the lake. It was suggested that people consider purchasing electric jet skis which are now available.

NatureWorks: The entrance pond fountain (Delmar style) has been approved for the 2020 budget. It will process 550 gallons a minute compared to 150 g/m processed by the current model. A contract was signed in the amount of $13,266.49. A custommade bracket to accommodate a 6 bulb color changing LED lighting set (made by a separate company) is included in the price.

Princeton Hydro is still reviewing NatureWorks’ offer of free AMP Activator, a blend of proteins and surfactants designed to enhance the efficacy of aquatic pesticides. R. Hill is awaiting feedback from PH for the 2020 treatment season to see if they approve of this.

The 2020 Treatment Contract has been signed and submitted to NatureWorks with the same rates as 2019.

PH End of Year Report: Mike Hartshorne of Princeton Hydro will be on site on November 16th to present their end of the year report based on their water quality sampling events, Microbac’s results and

NatureWorks treatments for the year.

A handout should be available as well as electronic copies for those unable to attend. R. Hill will also try to make arrangements to record the session to share with those unable to attend. Our Board of Directors has been invited to attend.

Buoys/Floating Structures/Docks/Boats: All floating structures will be removed from Roamingwood within the next week.

New buoys will be purchased by Recreation for 2020 based upon R. Hill’s recommendations. Public works will implement a tracking system for all buoys from here on out with a unique identifier, and after each buoy is removed from the lake, it will be power washed, inspected and slated for replacement if need be, before being stored for the winter.

PH was on site on 10-23-19 to inspect the floating islands at Brooks. The one in the north end cove is intact so it was left where it was but the other was towed out to the center island and moored at three points to keep it in place. Aeration was turned off at Brooks and Deefield.

Outlet Structure: Scranton Craftman’s quote for the safety railing came in too high ($5,000 roughly). Public Works is finalizing a bid from a separate vendor for a fraction of the cost ($1200 – 1700).

Public Works will fabricate a treated lumber staircase to be installed from the roadway and down onto the outlet structure; construction will be in 2020. The current area is loose rock at a steep incline.

The weatherproof storage box will be installed/anchored atop the structure after the safety railing is installed.

Safety harnesses will be purchased and be required to be worn by staff accessing the structure.

R. Hill is working on costs associated with making duplicates of all valve hardware.

COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

Long Range Planning Committee Meeting Minutes - 11/9/19

Call to Order: 10:00 AM – Peter Boyer, Chairman Pledge of Allegiance

Present: Peter Boyer – Chairman, Sharon Spiese, Bob Addieg, Brad Schumacher – Facilities Manager, Craig Rafaniello, Maintenance Supervisor, John Boandl, Guest Excused: Walt Buda Absent: Sam Wilmot, Marie Krauss The minutes of the October 12, 2019 meeting were reviewed and there were no errors found in the minutes.

DISCUSSION Miller Road: The CMR urging the Board to consider the purchase of the 8 acres adjacent to the Miller Road property was signed and will be submitted for Board consideration.

Lodge Sprinkler System: Brad informed the committee that he, Larry, and Craig had had a meeting with the Architects/Engineers to discuss moving forward with this project.

Plans were made available and changes/ updates were discussed, (Acoustic Tiles, Dimmable LED Lighting, Insulation, etc.). We are awaiting final quotes on these items.

Main Gate: The committee was informed that the traffic study has been completed and the report will be prepared by the Engineers.

Once the report is received, it will be reviewed and sent to the company acting as project manager for upload to the state.

Aspen Point: There has been no movement on this project. The committee discussed the need to do prep work for this project, (i.e. excavation, surveying, sewer lines, leveling, etc.). Brad was asked if he could begin reaching out regarding these issues. He agreed to do so. From this a discussion of community Bus Stops ensued.

Bus Stops: The committee expressed concerns regarding the current bus stops, (inadequate cell phone coverage, children walking home in the dark, safety, etc.) It was suggested that perhaps the community could look into having a shuttle bus available for

Dear Hideout Members, Guests, and Renters, As a reminder, the speed limit in The Hideout is 25 MPH. Please watch out for pedestrians!

For the safety of our members and guests, please observe all posted signs and association rules. Thank you.

transport. Several issues were discussed including budget, staffing, GPS, and cameras in the shuttle. John Boandl will look into this and report back to the committee.

Clubhouse: The committee was informed that funding is in the budget for a plan to make the deck a 3-season room. This would increase seating capacity. They were further informed that there has been some discussion in other committees as to why put money into this if there was a possibility of doing something long range with the building and that we must consider how much the facility is used over the course of a year to determine if we are going to get a return on the investment of adding a 3-season room. It was suggested that we wait to see how the Bistro does over the course of the next year before making any decisions.

Ski Hill: The committee was informed that the Woodworkers have completed nine picnic tables for the Ski Hill warming shed. The tables have been installed in the facility. This will allow people to bring their own food and have it in the warming shed while the Ski Lodge will allow those purchasing food from the Snack Bar to dine. The committee was also informed that the tables in the Ski Lodge have been replaced with the old tables from the Clubhouse.

Stormwater: Brad informed the committee that our stormwater efforts continue to be addressed.

Woodworkers: The committee was advised that as of Jan 1, 2020, any requests for the Woodworkers should be addressed to Ken Wentz, President.

Splash Pad: Currently on hold, will try again for next year’s budget.

Community Garden Area: We should begin looking at what can be done with this 10,000 sq. ft. area. There are two Har Tru tennis courts under the dirt.

The next meeting will be on December 14, 2019 at 10:00 in the POA Board Room.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 am.

RECYCLING

Recycling is open Monday - Sunday 24/7 The Maintenance Department accepts Bulk Items Monday - Friday at the Maintenance Shop between 11:30 a.m. - 12 noon, Saturday morning by appointment only, (570) 698-4100, ext. 133. (fees apply) No electronics accepted, i.e., computers, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc. Also not accepted are tires, paints, thinners, oils, etc.

_________________________

COMMINGLED RECYCLING Single stream (also known as “fully commingled” or “single-sort”) recycling refers to a system in which all paper fibers, plastics, metals, and other containers are mixed in a collection truck, instead of being sorted by the depositor into separate commodities (newspaper, paperboard, Corrugated fiberboard, plastic, glass, etc.) and handled separately throughout the collection process. In single stream, both the collection and processing systems are designed to handle this fully commingled mixture of recyclables, with materials being separated for reuse at a materials recovery facility.

You should also contact your insurance company. Another resource is the internet for the purpose of researching Pennsylvania Real Estate Law on the subject. Again, this is a civil matter between the parties involved and cannot be resolved by The Hideout.

Note: In the event that the tree is on Hideout Common Property, the Environmental Manager should be notified so that the appropriate action can be taken to remove the hazard.

PROPANE TANKS Safety Guidelines For Propane Tanks: Homeowners who decide to install a propane tank on their property need to be aware of the guidelines for such. A Propane Permit is needed. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) has established a set of rules that govern

the requirements for the clearance around propane tanks in the NFPA 58 Liquified Petroleum Gas Code. Size of the clearance radius will depend on type of installation and the size of the tank.

Vertical Tanks – The requirements for the clearance around vertical propane tanks under 125 gallons depends on the location of ignition sources, venting windows and doors. The tank itself may be placed against the house or building, but it has to be at least ten (10) feet from an ignition source such as a water heater and three (3) feet from a venting window or door.

Horizontal Tanks – Horizontal tanks, also referred to as vessels, come in three main sizes: 330, 550 and 1,000 gallons. The size of the vessel normally depends on the propane requirements and the size of the structure using the fuel. The requirements for the clearance around the 330 and the 550 gallon propane tanks are at least ten (10) feet from the structure. Ten (10) feet from the property line and ten (10) feet from any ignition source. The 1,000 gallon propane tank requires at least twenty five (25) feet of clearance from the structure, the property line and any ignition sources.

Also, be aware that according to our Protective Covenants and ECC Manual, every fuel storage tank on any lot shall be either buried below ground or screened to the satisfaction of the Committee within 90 days of its installation.

• To be sure of setback lines.

When turning in an application for any of the below permits, you must have an “as built” survey. • Garages (both detached and attached) • Decks • Driveways • Sheds • Additions • Dock/Bulkhead • Gazebo, Patio, Sunroom • Major Landscaping. This survey will be marked as “existing” not proposed.

If you have any questions, please call Fran at (570) 698-4100, ext. 102. In some cases we might have a copy of the survey in our files. Please understand that this might not be an “as built” survey.

ATTENTION VETERANS If you have a chronic illness or injury which occurred while you were in Military Service, you may be entitled to compensation. However, you must first file a claim with the Veteran’s Administration.

For additional information, please contact Disabled Veteran Bob Addieg (570) 698-8337. No fee involved.

The Hideout Adult Social Group (HASG) is expanding our recently-formed Good Neighbors Club. We are pleased to coordinate the following Good Neighbors Club services to all members of the Hideout Community: 1. Many of us own wheelchairs, walkers and other medical equipment that we are not currently using. Others are in need of some of this equipment for a period of time. The HASG is compiling a list of such equipment.

The intent is to have a central contact point where those in need can inquire about who may have the equipment they need and be willing to loan it to a fellow Hideout member. If you possess such equipment and are willing to help out by lending it to a Hideout neighbor, or if you are in need of same, please contact Louise Brevet, Chairperson at (570) 698-5102, or Judy Restaino, Co-Chair at (570) 698-9840.

2. A number of us have survived major illnesses: cancer, heart attacks, strokes, etc. If you are a survivor of a life-threatening illness and are willing to talk, one on one, with others currently going through a similar situation, or if you are fighting such a situation and would like an opportunity to talk to someone who has “been there done that” please contact Louise Brevet, Chairperson at (570) 698-5102, or Judy Restaino, Co-Chair at (570) 698-9840. Confidentiality will be observed.

3. Many of our neighbors live alone. If you are by yourself and would like a daily phone call from a fellow community member, or if you would like the opportunity to brighten someone’s day with a friendly “hello, how are you today?” then again please contact Louise Brevet, Chairperson at (570) 698-5102, or Judy Restaino, Co-Chair, at (570) 698-9840.

The HASG believes in neighbors helping neighbors. Although the Good Neighbor Club is a function of the Hideout Adult Social Group we are pleased to offer these services to ALL Hideout residents.

How to protect wood floors from inclement weather

W

ood floors are a worthwhile investment that can improve the beauty and function of just about any room in a home. Even though wood floors are durable, and new protective treatments help seal out many of the things that may have damaged floors in the past, homeowners still need to prioritize protecting their hardwood floors.

Certain seasons of the year can be more harsh on wood floors than others.

For example, seasons characterized by moisture and precipitation, particularly the early spring, winter and fall, can be hard on wood floors.

The experts at ServiceMaster Clean say that cold, snowy days can damage wood floors, and Lumber Liquidators agrees that winter weather can be harsh on flooring.

Homeowners need not give up on hardwood if they live in an area that sees all four seasons. They just need to take a few steps to keep floors looking beautiful. · Clean up the salt. Salt that keeps sidewalks and streets clear of snow and ice inadvertently gets tracked inside a home. Hard chunks of salt can scratch wood floors, and, if left to sit, that salt can eventually cause white marks and other stains. Routinely vacuuming and sweeping up salt is necessary to protect wood floors.

· Invest in shoe storage. Wet or snowy boots can create puddles around the house.

Have a special mat or tray by the front door where wet shoes can be kept. A nice bench in the entryway makes it easy for residents and guests to remove their shoes until it’s time to go back outside. · Use water-wicking mats.

Homeowners will probably need a few extra mats around to tame errant drips and wipe shoes. Any entrance that might be used by people or pets should be protected. Try to avoid petroleum-based, rubber-backed mats, as they could discolor the wood floor. · Control humidity indoors.

Cold, dry air in a home can be problematic because the moisture in the wood can eventually evaporate into the air. The heat will suck that moisture from the flooring, causing it to shrink, creak and splinter and become more brittle. Think about investing in an in-line humidifier for the home’s HVAC system that can keep a moderate amount of humidity in the home. Hardwood floorboards are installed to accommodate minor temperature and humidity fluctuations. This is typically a range of between 60 and 80 degrees F with a relative humidity range of 35 to 55 percent, advises ServiceMaster. · Use the right cleaning products. Avoid excessive water to clean wood floors, and select soaps that are specially designed for wood flooring. Consult with the flooring manufacturer for a list of detergents that are safe to use.

With proper care, hardwood flooring can survive rain, snow and cold weather.

Simple ways to avoid injuries when working out Five to 10 minutes of light aerobic exercise before working out can help men and women avoid injury.

A desire to live a healthy, active life compels many people to include exercise in their daily routines. Numerous studies have shown that regular workouts that include a combination of strength training and cardiovascular exercise can make bodies less susceptible to injury while reducing a person’s risk for conditions such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Exercising is most effective when it’s part of a daily routine, but that routine can be derailed if men and women are not taking the appropriate measures to avoid injury while working out. While even professional athletes succumb to injury from time to time, there are steps everyone can take to avoid injury when working out. · Confirm your technique is the right one. Exercise science is continuously evolving, and that means workouts and fitness machines are evolving as well. When using a piece of equipment for the first time or altering a workout routine, men and women should consult with a gym employee or personal trainer to learn the correct technique. Incorrect technique can lead to minor and serious injuries because muscles are used in ways they are not intended to be used when exercises are performed properly. Research appropriate techniques, taking advantage of online video tutorials if you don’t exercise at a gym, to ensure the exercises you want to perform are done properly. When beginning a new routine, ask a friend or gym employee to observe your workout and let you know if you are doing anything incorrectly. · Be patient. Lifting too much weight or pushing yourself too hard on the treadmill, exercise bike or elliptical machine will increase your risk of injury. This is especially true for men and women working out for the first time or after lengthy stretches of inactivity. Men and women who are elderly, inactive and/ or overweight are likely to suffer from

poor balance because their muscles are weak. Those muscles can be strengthened over time, but remain patient and stick to light weight during initial workouts so lack of balance does not lead to pain or injury. Take the same approach with aerobic exercise to prevent muscle strains and pulls. Increase weight and the intensity of cardiovascular exercises as muscles gradually strengthen and become accustomed to exercise. · Allow for adequate time to warm up. Failure to warm up is another contributor to exercise-related injury.

Before diving into a workout routine, spend between five and 10 minutes warming up your body with some low-intensity exercises. This increases blood flow to the muscles and makes them more elastic and pliable than cold muscles, thereby improving flexibility. Some lowintensity cardiovascular exercise on the stationary bike or treadmill can greatly reduce injury risk during the workout. · Vary workouts and exercise regularly. Varying workouts is a good idea because doing so can prevent repetitive-use injuries and prevent overuse of muscles. Repetitive-use injuries such as shin splints and tendinitis require extended rest to heal, and that can derail your routine and nullify your progress. Vary workouts so you are not always working the same muscles, and don’t mistake varying workouts for varying workout schedules. Working out five days one week and one day the next increases your risk of injury.

Injuries sometimes happen when exercising. But veteran and novice fitness enthusiasts can employ a handful of simple strategies to greatly reduce their risk of injury while working out.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

To stay safe walking, follow these rules of the road: 1. Walk Facing Traffic When Walking on the Side of the Road If there is no sidewalk and you must walk on the side of the road, choose the side where you are facing oncoming traffic. In North America, this is the left side of the road. This gives you the best chance to see traffic approaching closest to you and take evasive action when needed.

2. Walk Single File When Not Separated from the Road Unless you are on a sidewalk separated from the road or you are in a wide bike/ pedestrian lane, you should walk in single file. This is especially important on a road with lots of curves and where traffic has only a split second chance of seeing you before hitting you. While it can be enjoyable to walk down the road two to three abreast chatting merrily, drivers don’t expect it and you may lose your best walking buddies.

3. Stay Aware of Bikes and Runners Share the road and path with bikes and runners. Bike riders should alert you when approaching from behind with a bike bell or a “passing on the left/right.” Listen for them, and move to walk single file, allowing them to pass safely. Runners should also call out for passing. Bike-walker collisions can result in broken bones or head injury for either—and you aren’t wearing a helmet.

4. Be Visible Wear bright colors when walking. When walking at night, wear reflective clothing or a reflective vest to be visible. Drivers are often not expecting walkers to be out after dark, and you need to give them every chance to see you. Be just as cautious at dawn or twilight, as drivers still have limited visibility or may even have the setting or rising sun directly in their eyes.

5. Be Predictable Make a practice of staying on one side of the path while walking rather than weaving randomly from side to side. Watch your arm motions, or you may end up giving a black eye to a passing walker, runner, or biker.

6. Keep the Volume Down Don’t drown out your environment when listening to music with your earbuds or headphones. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear bike bells and warnings from other walkers and runners.

7. Hang Up and Eyes Up Distracted walking due to chatting, texting, or playing games on a mobile device while you walk is as dangerous as doing those things while driving. You are distracted and not as aware of your environment. You are less likely to recognize traffic danger, tripping hazards, or passing joggers and bikers. Adopt habits that can keep your phone in your pocket, or at least make it a practice to stop in a safe place to complete your phone tasks before moving on.

8. Walk Dogs on Short Leashes It is terrifying and tragic to witness dogs running out in to traffic or getting into a fatal dog fight, whether on leash or off leash. But when walking your dog on a long leash there is also a danger that you will trip other walkers or bikers. You will keep your dog safer as well as those who pass by you if you use proper leash walking etiquette.

9. Know When to Stop Walking Heat sickness, dehydration, heart attack, or stroke can strike walkers of any age.

Learn the symptoms of medical emergencies and carry a cell phone to dial 911.

Even if you are a seasoned and well-trained walker, you may experience one of these problems and need to cut your walk short. Encourage your walking friends to stop when they show any concerning symptoms.

10. Be Aware of Stranger Danger Street safety is a concern for many walkers. Choose your walking route for paths frequented by other walkers, joggers, and bikers. If you see someone suspicious, be prepared to alter your course or go into a store or public building to avoid them.

Acting alert and aware can convince bad guys you are not an easy target.

Thank you for another great season...

See you next year!

A golf tip from Larry Lutz, Hideout Golf Teaching Pro

D

uring the first two feet of the back swing, it’s critical to keep the club on the proper path (slightly inside) with the face square to that path (rotating slightly open). Path or club face mistakes early on can result in any number of faults later in the swing.

To help keep the club face looking at the ball, set the insides of your forearms so they face each other at address, and maintain that relationship throughout the

takeaway. Also, make sure the flex in your right elbow does not change during the first two feet. These keys help the swing start on track without any club manipulation - one great way to groove a consistent move.

I hope you find this tip helpful, but most of all, remember your good shots, learn from the bad shots, and have fun!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ONE AND ALL!

HASG Golf League-Ready for 2020?

W

ow, the weather is starting to turn and many of my snowbird friends have flown south for the winter. We are still here in the Hideout as Audrey is recuperating from Hip replacement. She was so disappointed because she could only play a couple of weeks this past year, she has vowed to practice more in Florida so she is ready to take on the other “putters” in the league.

In the past few weeks, we have been confined to the house but had so many calls and visits that it made us realize how many good friends we have here in the Hideout. People bringing meals over, flowers and goodies! Thanks to all of you who were so thoughtful. I guess everybody felt sorry for Audrey as she would have been stuck with my cooking!!

It really made us realize how great the Hideout is and why we love it so. Many

of those friends were made on the golf course and many of them in the HASG league. The new season will be on us before we realize it.

The HASG league has an added benefit which a lot of the more experienced golfers don’t realize. It introduces golf to many new players and acts as a ramp to introduce people to golf, helping the golf course with new players. I am trying to get a few new things for next year which should make it even more fun than last year. Can’t wait. Feel free to call me if you are interested or have any questions.

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON and remember - The Hideout is a great place and we are so lucky to call it home!!!!

CELEBRATING OUR VETERANS

n November 11th at 11AM, 2019 The Hideout started our Annual Tribute to honor our Veterans in The Hideout and others all over the country.

We honor all members by decorating the Lodge with the uniforms they wore, the Military flags of the branches they served, medals, pins and awards received.

We invited a bus from the Wilkes Barre Veterans Hospital and welcomed them with applause as they were wheeled into our Main Lodge dining room with the Wayne County Fife and Drum Corps playing in the background. Realizing that they spend most of their time together, we leave one space at every table for a wheel chair, so our visiting Vet can enjoy conversations with our Hideout members. This has been met with tremendous success every year, as new friends are introduced to our members.

This year we had the Wayne County Girls group attend and assist with our program and our guests.

Marilyn Watson sang God Bless America and had a special guest Ms Jamie Newman, who signed the words as everyone sang along.

A blessing was given by Pastor Kevin Stiles . Our Co-chairmen Bob Wiegand and Bill Wagner spoke of the importance of this day, and our honored guests. State Representatives, Johnathon Fritz and Mike Piefer and Wayne County Commissioner, Brian Smith also spoke and told how much they enjoy coming to The Hideout on this day every year and thanked all the veterans and reminded us of the importance of our military.

The Wayne County Girls Group then wheeled our Veterans up to assist them as they fixed their dishes at the buffet luncheon. This is such a special day we celebrate every year for our resident Veterans and for our visiting guests, and they thanked all involved and said what a wonderful tribute it is, and we thanked them again for their service.

Generator Permit

A

Hideout Building Permit is required for he installation/operation of any “non-portable” residential whole house/ stand-by electrical generator. Small portable units are excluded. A separate permit is required if you need to install a propane tank to fuel the generator.

ALL applications for permits are located on The Hideout website or you can get any permit application at the POA Office.

IMPORTANT PORTABLE GENERATOR SAFETY TIPS: - Never operate a generator indoors - it can cause unintentional carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas which, if inhaled, can be fatal.

- Do not install a generator right next to your home - carbon monoxide can collect in the eaves of your home.

- Don’t refill the generator’s gas tank while the unit is running as this can cause a fire, leading to serious injury or death.

- Be sure to remove all gas from the

tank when storing your generator.

HOW TO CHOOSE A GENERATOR - Identify the items you will need to run in the event of a power outage. Choose the generator that meets or exceeds the total wattage requirement.

- Assistance from a qualified electrician is also advisable.

• 5,000 WATTS (41.7/20.8 AMPS) Powers Refrigerator 700 watts, AM/ FM radio 50 watts, Color TV 450 watts, Eight 100-watt lights 800 watts, Microwave 1,000, Sump pump 1,000 watts, Water pump 1,000 watts

NOTE - A simple formula to calculate how much combined power you’ll need to run appliances and tools is volts x amps = wattage. Check the power demands of your appliances to determine whether they can run simultaneously or intermittently. Always consult the data plate on the appliance for accurate electrical information.

Starting watts: Always plug in the appliance with the highest starting wattage first and add appliances in descending wattage order.

Call Lisa Green at (570) 630-3707 or e-mail her at lgreen@thehideout.us

4 Ideas for Family Game Night

F

amily game nights can be a great way for families to disconnect from their devices and spend quality time together. Much in the way that family dinners can facilitate conversation and closeness, game nights can spark companionship and hours of fun.

Game nights are easy to organize and are particularly handy on those nights when there’s not much to do or when the weather makes outside activities implausible.

To get started, use these game ideas as a catalyst for fun.

1. Stick to the classics. Certain games remain tried and true family favorites.

These include Monopoly, Trouble, Risk, Clue, and Scrabble. Adults who had a favorite game growing can play it with their own children and see who outsmarts who.

children, and everyone can join in the fun.

3. Strengthen drama skills. Charades is a game in which teams must act out a word or phrase based on certain categories and have others on their side guess what is being mimed.

Charades often leads to lots of laughs and stumped participants.

4. Shop for new fun. Take a family trip to a toy store or another retailer and browse the games aisle. Let each family member pick out a game that appeals to them and then include them in your family game night rotation.

Families can engage and converse over entertaining games that bridge generations.

2. Learn card games. From “War” to “Spades” to “Gin” to “Uno,” many card games have withstood the test of time. This is a great way to bridge gaps between grandparents and grandchildren. The older generation can teach these familiar games to

HIDEOUT ADULT SOCIAL GROUP The HASG was formed in 1980 to provide an opportunity for Hideout members, including renters, age 40 and over, to meet with and socialize with other members of our community.

If you enjoy meeting new friends, socializing with old friends and like to party, then the H.A.S.G. is for you. Typical events include dinner dances, picnics, luaus, a “social” golf league, local outings, travel and anything else you can think of that involves socializing, dining and just generally having a great time with wonderful friends new and old.

The HASG meets the second Thursday of each month (except December) at 1:00 p.m. at the Lodge. Refreshments are always served. All interested Hideout members are welcome to attend our meetings. Let us know you’re coming and a member of our Welcoming Committee will greet you. For more information please contact John Hinton (732) 841-6731, ljhmet@gmail.com.

Richard Yocum. Treasurer.

I urge you to review the Proposed Budget and come to the December 7, 2019 meeting with your questions.

The total assessment increase is $60 over 2019 or 3.4%.

We are still awaiting studies on the Gypsy Moth and Wildlife Management. The Proposed Budget was done assuming that both of these items would have to be done in some degree.

The Capital Budget is concentrating on maintaining and upgrading current assets. This includes upgrading our technology and security systems, updating the main gate entrance, along with enhancements at the Ski Hill and the Lodge. The Ski Hill will have some water lines replaced and a new Magic Carpet for the Tube Run. The budget will include a needed installation of a Fire Suppression System for the Lodge. Funds will be appropriated for this safety enhancement from the Capital Reserve Fund, if necessary. This will necessitate the closing of the Lodge from January 5, 2020 until May 1, 2020.

The Operating Budget is flat except for wages and payroll taxes, general insurance and worker’s compensation insurance, solid waste removal and operating supply increases. This accounts for the increase of $285,000 which is 3.9% over 2019.

The goal of the Board of Directors in preparing the 2020 budget was to maintain our current assets, make additions to the current infrastructure, and to provide the highest level of service to the property owners. This was done knowing that the dues needed to be kept at the lowest possible level.

The Board of Directors wants to express their appreciation to The Hideout Management Team and the members of the Budget Committee for their hard work in putting together this budget.

The work is both time consuming and difficult, it requires making carefully considered assumptions based on projections and best estimates. The Committee’s recommendations were most useful to The Board in preparing this Proposed Budget.

Additionally, a meeting on the Proposed Budget has been scheduled for 9:00 AM Saturday, December 7, 2019 at the POA Administration building. All members are encouraged to attend.

The Board of Directors of the Association of Property Owners of The Hideout, Inc. is pleased to present the 2020 Proposed Budget. As required by the Property Owners Association (POA) bylaws, the budget is now being placed before the members for 30 days of review. The Board welcomes member comments and questions about the budget. Please forward your comments, concerns or ideas in writing to the Financial Manager’s office in the POA Administration building or via e-mail to lfrotten@thehideout.us or ftrinisewski@thehideout.us.

Hideout Committee Volunteers

ommittees are an important part of our association operations. Committee members help keep our community vibrant; and, by augmenting paid staff, they save the association thousands of dollars each year.

The association just wouldn’t be what it is without our active and effective committees. They deserve our sincerest thanks. However, to be successful, our association needs to cultivate fresh ideas and encourage additional resident involvement in our committees; so, we’d like your help on one of our committees.

Committees give the Board a way to gather information, offer new ideas and opinions and provide a training ground for future Board members. All committees are advisory to the Board unless given specific decision-making authority by the Board or our Governing Documents. Each committee has a goal and mission statement to help it succeed as a community resource.

Our association has three types of committees: • Board appointed committees, like our ECC, Discplinary, Budget and Nominating, are established by the Board for a specific purpose under the supervision of the Board. These are required by our Protective Covenants or By-Laws. They often have clearly defined power and authority.

Appointments are made for a three year term; however, there are no term limits as to how many terms someone may serve.

• Standing committees, such as Food and Beverage and Recreation, are ongoing and have members who have expertise with a specific area within our community.

These committees generally make recommendations to the Board pertaining to the specific area.

• Ad-hoc committees, such as Governing Documents, are established by the Board as needed for specific projects and tasks. When the task is complete, the committee is disbanded.

So, if you’re thinking about running for the Board and want to learn a little more about the association’s operations or if you’re interested in helping improve your community, we would be thrilled to talk to you about committees and how you might be able to help. Applications are available at the POA or on our website, www. hideoutassoc.com. Feel free to contact any member of the Board or Community Manager, at (570) 698-4100, ext. 109, for more information.

This is a good time to review definitions of property lines, setback, and easements as applied in the Hideout. When you hear that someone has a setback, you usually expect something not so good. It’s a completely different case when the term is applied to property boundaries. Setback Lines actually protect your property!

Building set-back lines are usually intended to govern permanent structures like your house or garage.

What is a Setback? A setback is a defined space in which no structures (as defined by Land Use Code) may be located, except where specifically allowed by the Code. Setbacks are required along front, rear, side property lines and additionally with some “easements.”

How are Setbacks measured? In most cases, setbacks are measured from the property line. However, when measuring a front setback line abutting a public street the setback is measured from the center line of the right of way. Your property line is coincident with the edge of the right of way. Since the right of way can contain unimproved shoulders, you should not assume that your property line is at the edge of the curb or paved edge of the road. Typically, your property line is several feet from the road improvements.

Unlike rights of way, utility access easements do not always coincide with

PROPERTY LINE INFORMATION

property lines. The easement may be located partly or entirely on your property.

When a front yard setback is required from an easement located on a property, the setback is measured from the interior edge of the easement.

Are Setbacks required from anything else? In most cases, buildings may not be built over utility easements (e.g., power, water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and telecommunications) without written approval from the associated utility. We all have easements on our Hideout property lots. These easements are shown on your recorded plat Land Survey and title report.

How large a Setback is required? That depends on where the property is located and whether the setback is along a front, rear, or side property line. For example, in the Hideout, the following Setbacks are required: Front - 25’; Rear - 25’; Sides - 10’. Also, within these setbacks there are “easement lines” (Front - 10 feet, Rear - 10 feet, and each Side - 5 feet).

Please note that the 25 foot front area starts at your property line, not at the edge of the road. The property line to the road is POA property. Also, in Pennsylvania, only a state licensed surveyor may set the property corners.

What is an Easement? An easement is defined as a right that one party has to use real estate that is owned by someone

else. The rights of the easement holder regarding usage of the property are specific and typically limited. Property ownership or possession is not impacted by an easement. The property owner gives up only defined rights on that portion of the property that is used for purposes of the easement. Common easements are those that are given to public utilities such gas or telephone companies to run lines under/over private property.

Utility easements such as power, phone, water and sewer are examples of easements that benefit the Hideout. Such is the case with RS&W. As a general rule, the grantor of the easement can make any use of that property as long as it does not unduly interfere with the rights granted to the easement holder. Typically, the owner granting the easement cannot build/ place structures or obstructions within an easement area or otherwise hinder access to that area.

A utility easement grants the utility company the right to use and access a specific area of a property. The area covered by the easement is usually clearly defined in the text of the easement, and the easement is attached to the property deed so that it will persist even when the property is transferred or sold. Utilities can request an easement for any number of reasons. A classic example of a utility

easement is an easement which allows the power company to run electrical lines along a property, and to install utility poles if the property is long enough that the lines cannot pass over the property without support. The utility has the right to utilize a strip of land for the lines, and to enter the land to access the lines for maintenance and repair, which can include tree trimming, replacing rotted utility poles, and relocation of any conduits, cables, wires, towers, and poles.

What about these Property Easements?

Every Hideout property has “easements” – legal rights that others have to use parts of a land owner’s property.

Despite their prevalence, easements are often misunderstood and in some instances, people are not even aware that easements exist. As a property owner you can benefit from a basic understanding of easements. That understanding helps you avoid problems (permanent placement of landscaping, trees & shrubs, rock gardens, landscape lighting, fences, etc.) that can arise within the easement area.

By keeping these areas free of plantings or other obstructions, you can enjoy what you have planted without worrying that it may be in jeopardy in the future.
