POA NEWS

FROM ANDREW MILLER

Board President’s Message

I

n the midst of the holiday season, we find ourselves in the unfortunate position of seeing COVID-19 rates hitting record numbers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and across the country.

While thankfully the numbers in Wayne County are relatively low, we are hearing reports of new cases: as of November 18th, in Wayne County there have been 360 known COVID-19 cases, with three newly reported cases and, regrettably, 12 deaths. So we must remain vigilant in following the latest Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Pennsylvania Department of Health guidance and restrictions.

For the Hideout this means continuing to adjust the way we do business from how the POA and amenities operate.

Many of us are personally disappointed that holiday plans have to be scaled back or cancelled and that young people’s education continue to be disrupted.

The Board of Directors postponed the November 21st meeting given new restrictions such as limiting holiday gatherings to ten people, requiring the wearing of masks at all times and interstate travel restrictions requiring a COVID-19 negative test or 14-day quarantine. The current plan is to combine that meeting with the December 5th Community Budget Review. We encourage you to keep monitoring the Hideout’s Facebook page and e-mail blasts for the latest information.

We see the end may be in sight with better treatment and new promising vaccines that have demonstrated high clinical effectiveness. In the meantime, please continue to wear a mask while

at an amenities, the mailboxes, dropping off garbage, and anywhere you cannot maintain social distancing.

Together we can make a better and healthier 2021.

In this regard, as always, Public Safety has been doing exemplary work protecting the safety and wellbeing of Hideout members, staff, and visitors. We were pleased to see their work acknowledged in an email sent to Community Manager Larry Frotten. In early November, a member was having an medical emergency, called Public Safety and 911 and within five minutes Dennis Murray arrived with EMT equipment.

The member wanted to “commend all involved for responding and assisting me in my time of need so quickly and thoroughly. Having fully qualified EMT’s on our staff is a huge bonus. And people like Sgt. Murray make me feel safe and GRATEFUL, to live in such a caring community.” We are glad to hear that the member is doing well and wish him a full recovery. This is just an example of the work Public Safety and all Hideout staff having been doing to keep us healthy and safe.

During the Annual Meeting on October 18 a member asked whether the Hideout was exploring purchasing Lake Genero.

The answer was yes with a vision of expanded amenities and revenue. After careful consideration, it was determined not to be feasible at this time. ■

FROM JOE KOZUCH, PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR

Public Safety Corner

A

s this year comes to a close I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Very Happy and Safe Holiday Season. Also during this time of year I would like to remind motorists that the speed limit in the Hideout is 25 mph with the exception of Antler Road, which is 15 mph. Motorists are reminded that the Public Safety Department will be out strictly enforcing the communities’ 25 mph speed limit throughout the Hideout with special attention given to the Safety Zones. With the rough driving weather upon us, please slow down and allow yourself more time to reach your destination. Let’s end this year on a positive note. Please be mindful of your speed and courteous to the pedestrians while driving in the Hideout.

Also as a reminder with the upcoming winter weather and the need for snow plowing and snow removal, members are reminded to park their vehicles no less than (5) feet from the edge of any paved

roadway in the community. The fine for parking on any street in the Hideout is $25.00. During a snow emergency the fine is elevated to $50.00. This fine is imposed not only during the snow event but also stays in effect throughout the winter months when there is a need for the Maintenance Department to keep the shoulders of the roads pushed back. Members are also reminded that a major concern of the Maintenance Department during the winter snow removal season is the portable basketball hoops that seem to be popping up on the roadways especially in the cul-de sacs. All members are advised to please remove these basketball hoops which are not only hindrance to snow removal but also are a safety concern. ■

FROM LARRY FROTTEN

Community Manager’s Message

D

ear Hideout Members

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and you are now gearing up for the holidays in December. This is a time of the year where we gather with family and friends to celebrate and give thanks. Clearly this is a year where such gatherings will be challenged because we remember what the past was like but the present is quite different. We would suggest, even though currently we have difficult times we should be thankful for our family and friends and all the memories we can create even with today’s challenges. Memories are those things nothing can take away from us and the qualities giving us strength to face any obstacles or challenges.

We should all be aware COVID-19 remains with us. Unfortunately, we are seeing, as predicted a spike in cases nationwide. Although, we in The Hideout and Wayne County are quite fortunate with a limited number of new cases, we should not become complacent.

Complacency will give way to a disastrous increase in cases. The Hideout staff has worked diligently at keeping our members and employees safe. We continue to promote mask wearing and safe distancing as ways to stop the spread of this virus. There is new, promising information on the development of a vaccine and The Hideout will monitor these developments along with any news concerning distribution. The Hideout will review whether we can be a center for the distribution of the vaccine to our members. We ask all to please continue to wear masks and respect the social distancing requests we have made during this virus crisis.

Our maintenance staff continues to work on various storm water issues and will continue as long as the weather remains satisfactory. Our maintenance winter weather equipment has been checked and we are ready for any inclement weather.

The Ski Hill Grill is open Wednesday through Sunday for breakfast and lunch.

We encourage members to make use of this amenity as well as the Clubhouse.

We are continuing to do a takeout service at the Clubhouse. We would ask members to review special takeout and dine in meals being offered at the Clubhouse during the holiday season. Currently, it

does not appear The Hideout will be able to promote holiday functions such as New Year’s Eve and various holiday events at our facilities.

The restrictions place on these events are based on the governor’s decree and we have and will continue to adhere to those requirements.

This is done in the hope of keeping everyone safe as we work through these difficult times.

The Hideout Ski Hill is completing the site work for final inspection by the Commonwealth of PA. Each year at this time the state inspectors do a review and inspection of the ski hill equipment. This is a very thorough inspection to ensure the equipment is safe for our employees and members. The ski hill staff works during the off season to maintain and update this wonderful winter amenity. We hope Mother Nature is kind and gives us cold weather so we can make snow for snowboarders, skiers and tubers. We ask members to acquaint themselves with a new registration and reservation process we hope will make the visit to The Hideout Ski Hill more enjoyable.

Communication is vital for The Hideout to succeed in providing the membership with important updates and schedules.

We ask members pick up copies of our newspaper, The Hideabout, available at the POA, the Main and North mailbox areas, and Recreation. We continue to update our website which contains valuable information for all to view.

We have referenced earlier in this message this is the season for being thankful and grateful. The Hideout has blessed many of us with opportunities challenging us and rewarding us. We are all thankful for those opportunities and our wish is our members have something to be thankful for. May you find joy and happiness, however you choose to celebrate this time of year. On behalf of our wonderful, dedicated employees, we wish you the most joyous of holidays and a very Merry Christmas. May you have a safe holiday season. ■

THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

POA NEWS

FROM RICHARD YOCUM

Chairman's Message A s I write this column, we are already halfway through November, and Mother Nature has already made sure we realize that she is in control. We have had two dustings of snow followed by a week of beautiful sunny warm weather. No one can predict our future weather, especially here in northeast Pennsylvania, but our Maintenance Department road crew is gearing up and ready to handle whatever the winter may have in store for us. Their efforts allow us to safely leave for work or do personal errands. Their efforts also allow our Public Safety department to maintain a presence throughout our community and the ability to respond to emergency calls during and after winter storms. Whether it is clearing snow or removing downed trees from a roadway Thank You Maintenance.

The Hideout is composed of many moving parts which all work together to make our community a Gold Star four season recreational community. The 2021 budget is the roadmap that we use to make sure all the moving parts work together. On Saturday, December 5th, the community has the opportunity to ask their questions about the 2021 budget.

Please review the budget and bring your questions to the Main Lodge at 9:00 a.m.

This has been a difficult year with many capital projects put on hold because of COVID-19, and at least the first half of next year will likely be just as difficult

for all of us as a community and individually.

On a lighter note, please join your fellow community members for The Hideout’s annual Christmas tree lighting. Look for the details in this issue of The Hideabout and Hideabout Extra.

Our Recreation Department does a great job in putting this fun event together.

Even though we will be outdoors, please wear masks and social distance for the safety of yourself and your neighbors.

On a personal note, this will be the first time Beth and I will not be seeing our grandchildren during the Holidays. In our case, it’s because of a daughter working in health care and the other being the distance and means of travel, we all decided we would celebrate on-line this year and look forward to seeing each other in person soon. This was not an easy decision, and we know we are not alone in dealing with this situation, but right now it is for the best.

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy Hanukkah. And a healthy and Happy New Year. No matter how you may celebrate this time of year - stay well and stay safe.

FROM DENNIS POLHAMUS, FACILITIES MANAGER

Facilities Corner W inter is coming! The Hideout Maintenance Crew has spent the last couple of weeks putting our vehicles and equipment together to prepare for the winter months. With winter approaching, I would like to remind our members to park away from the roadway as to not interfere with the snow plows path. Our Maintenance Department works tirelessly on maintaining our roads during snow events. If you have any items within 5 feet of the roadway please move them back so they do not become damaged by snow and ice or snow equipment. With the colder temperatures approaching, please use caution when walking around the community during the winter months as snow and ice can cause serious injury to you and your pets.

Over the last few months, Maintenance has been working on correcting some storm water issues and most of the projects are completed. There are still some projects that we will continue to work on correcting throughout the winter months to prepare for spring. Our Maintenance Team works extremely hard to maintain our great community but it also takes some understanding from our members that certain projects do take longer to complete and patience is needed. Culvert pipes and drainage

We want everyone to be safe. Thank you!

As for our Permitting Department the season is winding down for big projects and most of the exterior work. I would like to remind our members to only obtain the 2020 permit application and moving into 2021 we will have the updated permits available online and they will also be in a fillable format. The Process for permits will stay the same with little change, members in good standing must also sign the permit application or they will not be processed. Any permit not picked up from the POA within 20 days will result is a fee of $25.00 being assessed to the lot.

Have a safe and happy Holiday season! ■

Recreation Corner A

We continue to try to utilize The Hideout facilities in an effective and safe manor and we ask for your patience and understanding as we do our best to keep as much open as safely possible. State guidelines and social limitations continue to change every day and we will continue to do our best to adapt and adjust in the best way possible.

Also, please be sure that all personal items such as cars, basketball nets, planters, and people are ten feet from the roadside edge.

ditches continue to be a concern for us as we do need the owners of each lot with a culvert pipe and or a drainage ditch to ensure that they are unobstructed and free of debris so water can flow through them freely. This causes most of our storm water issues and in our protective covenants the owner of each lot is responsible to maintain these areas.

FROM JOHN BOANDL, RECREATION MANAGER s we enter the cold month of December, we would like extend our sincerest thanks to The Hideout community members for their amazing support and cooperation throughout this unpredictable pandemic. We are adjusting to some different and unusual changes in the Recreational field and we hope to keep providing everyone with safe activities and events.

The Public Works Department would like to remind members to use caution when the snowplow trucks are on the roads. It is very difficult for the plow drivers to see pedestrians during an active storm, especially at night. For both your safety and drivers, please refrain from walking on the roads.

DECEMBER 2020 • 5

On December 5th, we will be hosting the 6th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at Roamingwood Park at 6:00 p.m. This has always been one of our favorite Recreation events and we know the community looks forward to this holiday tradition as much as we do. Our goal is to bring you the best Tree Lighting Ceremony that COVID-19 guidelines will allow.

We have implemented some new events and programs during the last few months that were “pandemic friendly”.

We had our first Virtual Costume Contest which had great feedback and over 45 participants. We hosted our first “DriveThru” Trunk or Treat with limited spaces and pre-packaged candy bags. We had

a great turnout for Trunk or Treat and would like to thank all of the community members who donated candy, dressed up and showed up.

I appreciate everybody’s patience and ability to adjust to a different way of hosting these events. I know that members missed having our annual Halloween Party and the traditional Trunk or Treat, but we are thankful that we were able to adjust and provide safe, fun, and family-friendly events for the community.

At this point, we can only focus on what we can do, and deal with what we are limited to.

Our fall Indoor Golf League has started and the indoor golf simulator is up and running for anyone interested in playing golf this fall and winter. This Indoor League will run for eight weeks and a different 9-hole course is picked for every week. We have a total of 19 participants and everyone seems to be having a blast. The winner will receive recognition and a prize. Our golf simulator is a great way for people of all skill levels to work on their golf game. If you are interested in booking out indoor golf simulator or playing in our winter Indoor Golf League, please call Recreation at (570) 630-3733.

Communications Corner W

hile we welcome in the month of December and the holiday season, we know that it looks very different from in the past.

Thank you to all who participated! I plan on having a monthly feature including members' recipes so keep sending me

your favorites! I'm sure we could all use a few new ideas.

Please see the 2021 Proposed Budget Newsletter pullout on page 51.

t’s hard to believe that December has already arrived and with it, the chill of cold snowy days.

you’d like to come and see them in person!

As temperatures continue 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 notices regarding ice fishing and ice conditions at those areas.

Mark your calendars!!! Friday December 4th at 6PM, the Environmental Department will be hosting Penn State Master Gardener Valerie Bell on the topic of “Tick Awareness”. This presentation will be accessible from the comfort of your home via Zoom. Log-in information will be shared via email blast here later this week but you are welcome to email rhill@thehideout.us for additional details as well. Zoom is free to use and our plan is to have a recording of the event made accessible afterwards. Only 100 participants can join, so be sure to log in just before 6 PM on the 4th to secure your spot!

Many of our woodland friends will be on the search for warm places to take shelter. Unfortunately, sometimes that means staking their claim inside your dwelling which, of course, isn’t always a welcomed surprise. Finding critters in your home? For your safety, as well as the animals, be sure to coordinate with a licensed pest control or wildlife professional for their removal.

We had great participation in the late October/early November “Bat Drawing Contest” with a total of eight submissions coming in before the November 5th deadline. Three winners were randomly chosen and are photographed, holding their prized Bat Box, find on page 36. Each box can house up to 79 bats, is colored black to absorb as much sunlight as possible, and are constructed of cedar for a long life of use. Bat habitat, and bat populations in general, are unfortunately both on the decline. To help stabilize bat populations and advocate for a natural means of mosquito control, consider getting your very own bat box! All of the contest submissions will be put on display at the POA for the next month if

C Alley Cats had a productive month throughout November, TNR’ing a total of 23 additional cats (9 kittens put up for foster care/adoption and 14 adults neutered, rabies shot, and ear clipped).

So far in 2020, despite numerous setbacks from COVID-19 restrictions, their organization has been able to process a total of 62 cats in the community, with 29 of those being kittens who will be finding new homes through their adoption program. To find out more about C Alley Cats, or how to get involved as a volunteer, be sure to visit http://calleycats.webs.com/ or their Facebook page: https://www.facebook. com/calleycats/. Donations may also be mailed by check to: C Alley Cats of Lake Wallenpaupack, 203 Sunset Hill Road, Hawley, PA 18428. ■

The Northern Long-Eared Bat, Myotis septentrionalis

B

ats in general have unfortunately received a bad wrap over the years and are up there as one of the most misunderstood mammals not only in Pennsylvania, but just about in all of the world. Contrary to what most people think, bats have to keep themselves extremely clean to ensure flight, have a relatively low prevalence of rabies, host no more parasites than other animals, and are incredibly successful insect consumers. They are the only mammals that fly and all bats belong to the Order Chiroptera, which means “hand-winged”.

Here are some facts you might not have previously known about the Northern LongEared Bat, one of PA’s nine species of bats: • Average length is 3” to 3.7” • Average wingspan is 9” to 10.7” • Is very similar in size to the Little Brown Bat, but boasts a longer tail and ears, hence its name.

• Favors forested type habitat.

• Feeding habits are believed to be similar to that of the Little Brown Bat, who consume up to 1,200 insects per hour.

• Have an interesting preference to

hibernate solitarily and in non-traditional locations. This behavior is believed to have contributed to their survival back in 2008 when white-nose syndrome spread throughout the Commonwealth’s primary bat hibernation sites, resulting in a 99% mortality for the Northern Long-Eared’s in those particular locations.

• Will nest singly or occasionally in small colonies behind loose tree bark, window shutters, and in cliff crevices.

• During hibernation, no food is consumed and the bat survives by burning off its summer fat reserves. Their body temperature drops close to that of the surrounding air temperature, respiration and heartbeat slow, and changes in the blood occur as well.

• The PA Game Commission designated the Northern Long-Eared Bat as endangered in 2019 and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services designated it as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in 2015.

U

nfortunately, headaches, like holiday gifts, come in all shapes and sizes!

Muscle Tension headaches are one of the most common types of headaches.

Neck or jaw problems, poor posture, or other factors that may come with the holiday season, such as fatigue or stress, can cause these. They can last a few hours, days, or even weeks. As a physical therapist, during “normal” years, I see an increase in patients with headaches around the holidays. It’s a time that the body is subjected to many different stresses. From changing normal schedules for shopping, cooking, baking, and wrapping gifts, to body fatigue and stress, affect each person in a different way. Granted all the extra stress and worries 2020 has brought all of us, it has also given many more people headache issues.

Manual therapy and exercise is a great alternative to medication and other treatments that only give temporary relief. At physical therapy, following a thorough evaluation of the patient, there are three components of treatment: “Hands-On” mobilization of stiff joints, gentle traction techniques and myofascial release of tight muscles. These will begin to restore normal movement and relieve pressure on the structures referring pain to the head. Second, a specific exercise program to strengthen muscles & stretch the stiff or tight muscles. This allows the patient to maintain the benefit of manual treatment. Third, postural & ergonomic education is taught to identify and correct the cause of the problem.

A few other tips that could help keep your holidays headache-free are: anticipate the stress & plan accordingly, eat meals on your regular schedule, limit caffeine, take time to unwind, and as much as possible, keep to your normal daily pace. Paying extra attention to your organizational and time management skills can help you to get more enjoyment and less stress out of the holidays! ■

inter is just around the corner, and many of you are making plans for the upcoming season.

Here at the Ski Hill we have been working diligently towards opening.

COVID-19 has presented our team however, with challenges. With the health and safety of our employees and community in mind, there will be some changes this year. The State of Pennsylvania is currently under mandates for capacity limits and masks. It does not appear this will change for the upcoming season.

The Ski Hill does get very busy, especially during holidays.

Therefore, it is necessary for us to limit the amount of patrons we serve on a daily basis. This starts with a mandatory reservation. We realize that this is an inconvenience for the community as reservations will need to be made before many patrons arrive at their vacation homes. If you have guests who plan on using the facility this winter please share this information with them before they arrive. Reservations will be accepted between Monday 8:00 a.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. (No more than 7 days and no less than 2

If your business, club or group will be collecting toys this year and are looking for a place to donate them, I will be happy to add them to our donation.

Deadline for toys is December 5th.

Bill Wagner (Here is a little bit of info of their 35 year history: The Wayne County Children’s Christmas Bureau is a locally funded, independent 501(c)(3) charity that is governed by a Board of Directors with strong ties to the Wayne County Department of Human Services.

This unique cooperation enables the program to serve the maximum amount of local residents in the most effective manner. The combination of these entities along with the extraordinary support of the local community help the Wayne County Children’s Christmas Bureau meet its mission of “every child receives a gift on Christmas morning”.) ■

THE HIDEABOUT - SECTION 2 - DECEMBER 2020 2020 Trunk or Treat - October 31st The Hideout Recreation team hosted their annual Trunk or Treat event for members of the community on Halloween Day, 2020. It was a beautiful, but frigid sunny October day. Due to COVID restrictions, this year the trick-or-treating had to be conducted differently to ensure safety for all. Trunk or Treat was “drive through style”, meaning people were directed to remain in their cars and accept prepackaged candy bags through the window from trunk participants wearing masks and gloves.

Despite the social gathering limitations, there was a great turnout with a few hundred cars and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Kids and adults arrived in costume and a few members even decorated their cars with humorous props, spider webs and graffiti. One member took it to the next level by towing a Halloween-themed trailer full of people in costume through the parking lot.

The Lake Ariel Fire Department arrived with their firetruck to signal the start to the event and Hideout Security assisted by directing the flow of traffic. Members slowly drove by several trunks that were decorated in spooky, festive themes. The Best Decorated Trunk award was given to a skeleton-themed trunk, complete with an awe-inspiring, twelve foot skeleton statue and a fog machine. The giant skeleton stole the show and was a definite crowd-pleaser.

We hope that next year we are less restricted when it comes to social gatherings, but until then we will continue to do our best to host events like this during these unsettling times. We want to thank everyone who dressed up, showed up and donated candy.

We had more than enough candy to hand out and feel very grateful that our community was able to come together to hold a fun, successful, family event. We look forward to seeing you at next year’s Trunk or Treat! ■

2020 Scarecrow Building Contest - November 14th The Hideout Recreation Department hosted a FREE, social-distancing, Scarecrow Building Contest at the Indoor Sports Complex on Saturday, November 14th from 3:45pm to 5pm. Groups were supplied a building station with a wooden frame to build each scarecrow. Each group had from 4pm-5pm to build the “best” scarecrow they can build. Judges decided on a 1st place winner at the end of the event and that group won a prize, as well as all who participated! Groups brought all necessary supplies and decorations to the event and put good use to old clothes/items around the house. It was great to see each group get creative with their own design/theme. Thank you to everyone who came out to the event! ■

Article IX Financial Management Sections 3: Preliminary Budget Proposed Bylaw Amendments In an effort to simplify and expedite the budget process, while ensuring continued transparency and timeliness budget process, the following changes are recommended by the Governing Documents Committee and P.O.A. Board of Directors for the benefit of the membership: SECTION 3, PRELIMINARY BUDGET CURRENT PROVISION: Section 3. Preliminary Budget

By April 1st of each year, the Community Manager shall prepare preliminary budgets, as designated below, for the next succeeding calendar year, to be presented to a Budget Committee for its review and recommendations. a) Annual Operating Expense Budget b) Annual New Capital Expense Budget c) Annual Revenue Budget d) Annual Capital Reserve Fund Budget The Budget Committee shall consist of not less than five (5) and not more than nine (9) members appointed by the Board plus any current Board Candidates who shall be appointed to serve on said Budget Committee by the Board of Directors. The Budget Committee shall review each of the preliminary budgets as submitted to make its recommendations, if any, as it deems necessary in the best interests of the Association, so that each of the preliminary budgets shall be submitted by the Budget Committee along with any recommendations to the Board by June 15 of each calendar year. The proposed budgets, after submission to the Board for review, modification, and approval, and prior to being adopted and accepted as final budgets by the Board, shall be incorporated into a single Proposed Budget and published for a period of not less than thirty (30) days to allow the members of the Association an opportunity to review same and to comment thereon, either at hearings held therefor or through such other means as the Board may determine.

(As amended October 1989) (Amended March 31, 2004) (Amended June 16, 2020) SECTION 3, PRELIMINARY BUDGET – PROPOSED REVISION: Section 3. Preliminary Budget

By June 1 of each year, the Community Manager shall prepare preliminary budgets, as designated below, for the next succeeding calendar year, to be presented to a Budget Committee for its review and recommendations. a) Annual Operating Expense Budget b) Annual New Capital Expense Budget c) Annual Revenue Budget d) Annual Capital Reserve Fund Budget The Budget Committee shall consist of not less than five (5) and not more than nine (9) members appointed by the Board plus any current Board Candidates who shall be appointed to serve on said Budget Committee by the Board of Directors. The Budget Committee shall review each of the preliminary budgets as submitted to make its recommendations, if any, as it deems necessary in the best interests of the Association, so that each of the preliminary budgets shall be submitted by the Budget Committee along with any recommendations to the Board by June 30 of each calendar year. The proposed budgets, after submission to the Board for review, modification, and approval, and prior to being adopted and accepted as final budgets by the Board, shall be incorporated into a single Proposed Budget and published for a period of not less than thirty (30) days to allow the members of the Association an opportunity to review same and to comment thereon, either at hearings held therefor or through such other means as the Board may determine.

(As amended October 1989) (Amended March 31, 2004) (Amended June 16, 2020) REASONING: The revision of dates in the budget process is to allow The Hideout Financial Department sufficient time to complete year-end obligations and accounting prior to beginning the budget process.

Proposed Bylaw Amendments

Article X, Sections 5: Election of Directors Proposed Bylaw Amendments

In an effort to simplify, update, and clarify the language of Bylaws Article X, Sections 5, while ensuring continued transparency and timeliness in the Board of Directors’ election process, the following changes are recommended by the Governing Documents Committee and P.O.A. Board of Directors for the benefit of the membership: SECTION 5, ELECTION OF DIRECTORS CURRENT PROVISION: a) Election of Directors shall be by written ballot as hereinafter provided. In all elections, each member in good standing is entitled to one (1) vote per Lot multiplied by the number of Directors to be elected. Only one vote per Director per ballot is allowed. There is no requirement that all votes to which a member is entitled be cast; however, any ballot with more than one vote per Director or more votes than the number of open positions will be disqualified. The person(s) receiving the most votes will be elected to the vacant position(s). b) The Nominating Committee shall consist of five (5) members: i. Three (3) members in good standing elected by the membership at the Annual Meeting. In the event that all three (3) positions are not thereby filled, the remaining positions shall be appointed by majority vote of the Board of Directors for member(s) in good standing who are not currently serving on the Board. Such appointment(s) shall be made within sixty (60) days of the Annual Meeting. ii. Two (2) members, currently serving as Directors, shall be appointed by the Board. One or both of these shall have at least one (1) year’s experience as a Director. The Board shall make these appointments within sixty (60) days of the Annual Meeting. iii. The Nominating Committee shall, by majority vote, select one of the elected members as its Chair no later than the adjournment of the Committee’s first meeting each year. Said Chair shall not be a Director. By March 15th of each year, the Nominating Committee shall submit to the Board of Directors, for its approval, the Election/Campaign Rules and Guidelines.

(Amended March 31, 2019) c) Candidates for election to the Board of Directors shall be nominated: i. By the Nominating Committee and/or ii. Petition, as hereinafter provided. d) By April 15th of each year, any member in good standing seeking nomination by the Nominating Committee shall, via the POA Registration Desk or the POA Executive Assistant, file with the Secretary of the Association a personal statement of candidacy for election as a Director for the term beginning immediately upon the adjournment of the next Annual Meeting. All candidates seeking such nomination must sign the Affidavit approved by the Board of Directors on November 19, 2017 and shall abide by the stipulations therein. e) Commencing on April 15, 2020 and for each subsequent year, any member in good standing seeking nomination by petition shall, by May 15th, file with the Secretary of the Association a petition of personal candidacy endorsed and signed by not less than fifty (50) different voting members (one per Lot) in good standing; however, no member, regardless of the number of Lots owned, shall sign the petition more than once. The Secretary shall certify the validity of all signatures. Should a candidate’s petition be determined to have an insufficient number of valid signatures, that candidate’s name shall not be placed on the ballot.

All candidates by petition must sign the Affidavit approved by the Board of Directors on November 19, 2017 and shall abide by the stipulations therein. Candidates by petition shall be accorded the same privileges as those nominated by the Nominating Committee. f) Commencing with the 2019 election cycle and for each subsequent year, the Nominating Committee shall, between April 15th and May 15th if necessary, attempt to nominate at least two (2) more candidates for election than are needed to fill the prospective vacancies on the Board of Directors, and shall immediately notify each added candidate of the Committee’s decision via regular and/or electronic mail. The added candidates names shall appear last on the ballots, and they

must sign the Affidavit approved by the Board of Directors on November 19, 2017 and shall abide by the stipulations therein; they shall be accorded the same privileges as the other candidates. g) By June 1st, any candidate may submit a campaign letter or statement, which, upon approval by the Nominating Committee, will be published in the July and August editions of the Association newspaper. The qualifications of all candidates shall be printed and distributed to the membership prior to or simultaneously with the mailing of the Election Packet, described herein. (h) All votes in Board elections shall be cast via ballot and each ballot shall set forth the names of those members in good standing who have become candidates for the office of Director in the order in which they filed their statements or petitions of candidacy with the Secretary of the Association. i) The ballots shall be prepared by the Secretary of the Association and, no later than thirty-one (31) days prior to the Annual Meeting of the Association, shall be mailed, along with notice of the Annual Meeting and voting instructions (the Election Packet), to each member entitled to vote, commensurate with the number of Lots owned.

SECTION 5, ELECTION OF DIRECTORS PROPOSED REVISION: a) Election of Directors shall be by either electronic/digital media or written ballot as hereinafter provided. In all elections, each member in good standing is entitled to one (1) vote per Lot multiplied by the number of Directors to be elected. Only one vote per Director per ballot is allowed. There is no requirement that all votes to which a member is entitled be cast; however, any ballot with more than one vote per Director or more votes than the number of open positions will be disqualified. The person(s) receiving the most votes will be elected to the vacant position(s). b) Each year a three-member Nominating Committee shall be established to screen potential candidates. i. Three (3) members in good standing shall be elected by the membership at the Annual Meeting. In the event that all three (3) positions are not thereby filled, the remaining positions shall be appointed by majority vote of the Board of Directors for member(s) in good standing who are not currently serving on the Board. Such appointment(s) shall be made within sixty (60) days of the Annual Meeting. ii. One current Board of Directors member, with at least one (1) year’s experience shall be appointed by the Board to be a non-voting liaison to the Committee. The Board shall make this appointment within sixty (60) days of the Annual Meeting. iii. The Nominating Committee shall, by majority vote, select one of the elected members as its Chair no later than the adjournment of the Committee’s first meeting each year. Said Chair shall not be a Director. By March 15th of each year, the Nominating Committee shall submit to the Board of Directors, for its approval, the Election/Campaign Rules and Guidelines.

(Amended March 31, 2019) c) Candidates for election to the Board of Directors shall be nominated: i. By the Nominating Committee; ii. Petition, as hereinafter provided; and/or iii. Appointment by Nominating Committee. d) By April 15th of each year, any member in good standing seeking nomination by the Nominating Committee shall, via the POA Registration Desk or the POA Executive Assistant, file with the Secretary of the Association a personal statement of candidacy for election as a Director for the term beginning immediately upon the adjournment of the next Annual Meeting. All candidates seeking such nomination must, at the time they submit their personal statement of candidacy, sign the background check release, and also the Affidavit (approved by the Board of Directors on November 19, 2017 and must abide by the stipulations therein). A candidate will be officially recognized only when all requirements are met. e) Commencing on April 15, 2020 and for each subsequent year, any member in good standing seeking nomination by petition shall, by May 15th, file with the Secretary of the Association a petition of personal candidacy endorsed and signed by not less than fifty (50) different voting members (one

per Lot) in good standing; however, no member, regardless of the number of Lots owned, shall sign the petition more than once. All candidates seeking such nomination by petition must, at the time they file their petition with the secretary, sign a background check release and also the candidate Affidavit (approved by the Board of Directors on November 19, 2017 and must abide by the stipulations therein). The Secretary shall certify the validity of all signatures. Should a candidate’s petition be determined to have an insufficient number of valid signatures, that candidate’s name shall not be placed on the ballot.

A candidate will be officially recognized only when all requirements are met. Candidates by petition shall be accorded the same privileges as those nominated by the Nominating Committee. f) Commencing with the 2019 election cycle and for each subsequent year, the Nominating Committee shall, between April 15th and May 15th if necessary, attempt to nominate at least two (2) more candidates for election than are needed to fill the prospective vacancies on the Board of Directors, and shall immediately notify each added candidate of the Committee’s decision via regular and/or electronic mail. All candidates appointed by the Nominating Committee must, at the time of their appointment, sign a background check release and also the candidate Affidavit (approved by the Board of Directors on November 19, 2017 and must abide by the stipulations therein). A candidate will be officially recognized only when all requirements are met. The added candidates’ names shall appear last on the ballots and they shall be accorded the same privileges as the other candidates. g) By June 1st, any candidate may submit a campaign letter or statement, which, upon approval by the Nominating Committee, will be published in the July and August editions of the Association newspaper. The qualifications of all candidates shall be printed and distributed to the membership prior to or simultaneously with the mailing of the Election Packet, described herein. (h) All votes in Board elections shall be cast via ballot and each ballot shall set forth the names of those members in good standing who have become candidates for the office of Director in the order in which they filed their statements or petitions of candidacy with the Secretary of the Association. i) The ballots shall be prepared by the Secretary of the Association and, no later than thirty-one (31) days prior to the Annual Meeting of the Association, shall be mailed, along with notice of the Annual Meeting and voting instructions (the Election Packet), to each member entitled to vote, commensurate with the number of Lots owned. j) Balloting procedures: i. The member(s) at the time of their initial registration, and each subsequent annual registration, shall be asked to specify, in writing, which type of voting method they prefer. The Executive Assistant shall be notified of the choice to facilitate member notifications (mailings) and allow for verification of non-duplicate voting. (a) Electronic voting procedures will be detailed by the firm handling the process. (b) For those who opt for written ballots instead of electronic voting, the following procedures will apply. Each completed ballot shall be placed in the supplied Ballot envelope and sealed by the voting member; there shall be only one (1) ballot per Ballot envelope. This envelope shall not be written on or marked in any way. Any markings thereon shall invalidate the ballot therein, as shall any other item in the Ballot envelope, including additional ballots; specifically, because of the verification procedures hereinafter set forth, the inclusion of more than one ballot in a Ballot envelope shall disqualify the return.

REASONING: The option of electronic voting has been added to encourage member voting.

Clarification is made to the candidate process to insure that all candidates are in compliance with the requirements in a timely manner to ensure eligibility for inclusion on the election ballot. The two Board of Directors as voting members of the Nominating Committee was changed to one nonvoting liaison to avoid any perception of favoritism in the election process. ■

Craig will lay out stormwater plan. It will be done in house.

Rick would like a licensed engineer on site. Will get Kaveleski involved if needed.

Roamingwood Flag Pole: Laura was concerned that it was not done properly.

Craig assured her it was. They problem is the sand and wind.

Lake Genero: Waiting on appraisal.

Inspection is on hold. Board still has to approve.

Line Painting: Trash recycling is done and walking trail around Lake View Drive.

Waiting to hear back from Dan Heiser

Contractor. We will ask about putting in additional crosswalk at the Ski Hill.

Main Gate Entrance: Originally planned to put in a light. Decided turning lane was better. Penndot keeps coming back with more requirements which means more surveys that have to be paid for. It will be done in sections because of costs.

North Gate: Has to widened.

Maintenance will come up with a temporary fix until next season.

Ski Hill: Close to wrapping up. Waiting on final inspection for Magic Carpet and general inspections. Rental building is now in accordance with CDC. Bob asked about using Skate Rink as rental or have Skate Rink moved across the street. Will consider for next year.

Committee Member Comments Rich: Complimented the Maintenance Staff on work they have been doing.

Larry: Looking into putting electric fence for the Maintenance Department.

Also putting in a fence in front of trash recycling shed and containers. This will allow the parking lot to stay open after trash recycling is closed.

Bob: Announced Ken Wentze was voted Wood Workers President Laura: Roamingwood park is very dirty.

Suggested we have a clean up day.

Would also like to know when crack sealing will be done. Larry said we are looking into hiring someone that is properly trained and can use our own equipment.

Rich: North Gate bump, when will it be taken care of. Wilmot will be taking care of it. It was cause during a storm when a wire fell and burned the ground. Inquired about curtains for the OSC. Maintenance will try to have them hung by the end of November.

Rotary Club of Hamlin Lake Ariel The Rotary Club of Hamlin Lake Ariel recently donated $1000 each to area fire companies. Recipients were Hamlin Fire and Rescue, Lake Ariel Fire Co, Maplewood Fire Co, and Ledgedale Fire Co. Other recent projects included food and hygiene products delivered to seniors during the initial Covid shutdown, Plexiglass screens donated to Hamlin Family Health Center, Safe steps markers for area businesses to maintain proper distance.

The club meets Tuesdays at RPlace in Hamlin and welcomes all.

Anyone interested in further information is welcome to contact Member Chair Terri Ditty at 570-947-1649 or Club Secretary Eileen Talalas at 570-499-2793.

Chair: Iggy Rivera (Zoom) Members: Judy Restaino, (Zoom – Kent Fairfield, Steve Flapan, Karen Greenfeld, Bob Kravetz, Jim McLoone, Rick Nolte, Jeff Silverman) Staff: Ryan Hill Board: Andrew Miller Guests: Mike Hartshorne, John Goldman, Richard Tumidajski The meeting was called to order at 9:02 followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

The minutes of the previous meeting were approved as written with a motion

by I. Rivera, a second by B. Kravetz and approval by all (9-0-0).

PRINCETON HYDRO: Mike Hartshorne, Project Manager and Aquatics Ecologist from Princeton Hydro, presented a comprehensive end of the year report for 2020 including the fisheries survey and then entertained questions.

OUTLET STRUCTURE/DSI INSPECTION UPDATE: Princeton Hydro reached out to PA DEP/Dam Safety to appraise them of the slight leaking from the downstream facing lower level gate of the dam and missing hardware on the side weir gate and the potential remedies proposed by DSI. They indicated that any repairs would be considered maintenance and would require no approval. Both DSI and Princeton Hydro feel that the outlet structure is structurally sound and that the passthrough is minimal.

The repairs are suggested but there is no immediate emergency so it has been tabled and will be monitored and revisited in the spring.

FISHERIES SURVEY: All fisheries reports from 2020, 2015, 2011 and 2004 will be compiled and data made available online on our website by the years end. All lakes are doing relatively well. Some largemouth bass were added in both Brooks and Deerfield in September. All three lakes will receive more in spring, 2021.

ACT 13 + GROWING GREENER GRANT STATUS: Mike Hartshorne is working on updating the quarterly reimbursement submittals with PA DEP now that both grants have been merged. It has been requested that they bump up bid specifications so that we can begin advertising soon for a qualified contractor to carry out the project in 2021.

BIOCHAR: 15 BioChar socks in 2’ lengths at a cost of $426.60 will be acquired in 2021 and will probably be anchored in the streams around Roamingwood’s feeder creeks in the spring. The primary location will be near Holiday Park. PH has had success using this product in Lake Hopatcong.

STORMWATER BMPs/ENHANCEMENT AROUND LAKES: Lots of stormwater upgrades have occurred along Roamingwood Road which should reduce washouts and TSS loading into the lake.

Other stormwater plans will address problems along Lakeview Drive East and Grandview.

ENTRANCE POND/ENTRANCE POND FOUNTAIN: A gravel access ramp for the entrance pond is still in the works; if not completed this year, it will be a project for the spring. The fountain was removed for winterization on 10/27. NatureWorks is still coordinating with Aqua Control, the

manufacturer of the fountain, for a larger intake screen to reduce clogging issues.

BROOKS SPILLWAY REHABILITATION PROJECT: It is budgeted for 2021 and is waiting on regulatory approval before bidding out.

WOOD DUCK NESTING BOXES: All 6 boxes will be kept in place for 2021 breeding season. Wood chips will be refreshed in December.

TRACT 29/WIRE CAGES FOR VEGETATION IN WETLAND AREAS: Due to budgeting restraints spraying for reed canary grass at Tract 29 was tabled for the season but will resume in 2021. Old tree planting materials at Tract 29 should be removed soon.

DAM INSPECTIONS/EAPs: Dr. Givler’s team is finalizing paperwork through Dam Safety’s “CEM Planner” so that we can get everything up to speed on our Dam inspections and EAPs. AERATION UNITS: Both aeration units were shut down and routine maintenance done by PH on October 7th. R. Hill hopes to get the Deerfield shack refurbished soon.

BUOYS/FLOATING STRUCTURES/ DOCKS/BOATS: One additional “No Wake” buoy will be ordered for the northern end of Roamingwood. All buoys and floating structures were removed via Facilities staff during the week of October 19th and were pressure washed, inspected and inventoried. The Easy Dock systems were removed this year due to some damage last winter. R. Tumidajski had noticed that the blocks that hold the docks in place move closer to shore when the wind comes out of the north and brought this to the attention of the committee.

NEW BUSINESS/OPEN DISCUSSION: The drawdown on Roamingwood started on October 19th. Lake Ariel begins on October 31st. There was a slight Cyanobacteria bloom in the southeastern cove of Roamingwood on October 23rd. Since this was after the end of the swimming season and the bloom had dissipated by the next day, no postings were put up in the area.

R. Hill will be exploring a way to monitor and track daily low flow release for Roamingwood’s discharge. Old paperwork indicated that a daily low flow release of about 1.44 cubic feet per second must be maintained and somehow recorded. This is not a problem for most of the year but could be in the hot summer or when everything is frozen. Recreation will resume inspections of new boats when registering in 2021, either in person or by emails with photos of boat, motor, etc. All boat registration documents are being streamlined for increased boat owner accountability.

The Wildlife & Forestry Committee is working on getting the Hideout certified through the National Wildlife Federation as an official “Community Wildlife Habitat”.

The next meeting will be at the end of March.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:05 with a motion by S. Flapan, a second by R. Nolte and approval by all (9-0-0).

Respectfully submitted, Judy Restaino ■

FROM THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE:

T

o enhance the safety and visibility of our neighbors, the Hideout Public Safety Committee will be conducting a FREE raffle, during the month of December, for approximately 2 dozen ultra high visibility safety reflective vests. They are one size fits all, so they can be worn over your winter coat.

With it getting dark by 5 PM and the sun is not rising till almost 7 AM, this high visibility vest is a great item to wear if you’re up before sunrise or out after dark,

Shop Needs. The company supplying the blades for the planer was contacted. We are waiting for the parts to be delivered.

The company supplying the blades will install them.

We need some type of safety mechanism for the circular saw. The plastic guard is no longer made. A new arm for the unit costs about $769. Rec will need to decide how to handle this issue.

There were 13 people who attended the last shop training session. Ken will follow up with Rec to clarify the process for joining the club. New members should join the club first and then attend the training session.

New Business. Andy Vuolo has moved to Rochester, NY. We will certainly miss him and we wish him only the best.

Charlie David asked for a wider blade for the band saw (6 tpi). Ken Wenz will follow up.

The motor on the table saw keeps cutting out. After the saw cools off it is operational again. Unit appears to overheat.

The nominating committee for selecting new officers for next year is comprised of John Gaspari, Dominic Lucarelli and Bob Addieg The club will not be making toys this year due to the Corona virus issues that we are all faced with.

We may have the annual Holiday party here at the shop. This may depend on Governor Wolf’s orders at the time. Needs further discussion.

The meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:40 pm. Next meeting is scheduled for 11/10/2020. ■

Are you experiencing issues receiving physical deliveries to your dwelling? We’re here to help you out!

When placing an order or making arrangements for physical deliveries that are too large to be received at your USPS designated mailbox, be sure to keep the following in mind: For all mail, including UPS, FedEx, and other delivery service orders, you must indicate your name, your lot number + street name, followed by your mailing address for The Hideout, and then Lake Ariel, PA 18436.

Ex) John Smith 542 Lakeview Drive West (Your Mailing Address Number) The Hideout Lake Ariel, PA 18436 Please note that USPS will never deliver packages to your dwelling.

If a parcel cannot fit inside of your USPS mailbox in the community, they will either leave you a key to access it inside of a larger USPS mailbox nearby OR they will leave you a notice indicating the package was held at their facility and must be picked up there.

For routine deliveries other than UPS & FedEx, such as a grocery delivery service, for example, you will need to make arrangements with Public Safety to register that service provider as a guest for your lot.

This will allow the service provider to go right to your dwelling, and not require your physical presence to escort them into the community.

T

he Golf Course and Pro Shop are now closed for the season.

We somehow made it thru this COVID-19 situation with only a few minor problems. Keeping the carts sanitized and available for use was an issue at times. The rangers worked hard and kept things running smoothly.

They Pro Shop personnel kept the shop sanitized members were great about keeping social distancing in mind, wearing their face masks, and using the sanitizer prior to entering the shop.

Still unsure if there will be a customer appreciation day this December.

Watch for posters and e-mail blasts for updates. It does not look promising at this point.

Have a safe and happy Holiday Season.

The golf committee is looking for new members for next season. Become involved with your golf course and its operation. We meet once a month during the golf season. Contact the Pro Shop for additional information. â–

Thank you for another great season...

See you in 2021!

Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association RS&W Remembers South Wayne County Water & Sewer Authority (SWCWSA) Board Member: Michael J Fitzpatrick It is with a heavy heart and knowledge there will be some big shoes to fill, that we say Thank you and may you Rest In Peace, to Mike.

After many dedicated years of volunteering on our Election Committee, and being an ever present Hideout resident, at our monthly RS&W Board meetings, Mike was

asked to step into the role as a SWCWSA Board Member in 2014, to fill a vacancy.

He was officially appointed in 2015 and served out his 5yr term ending in January 2020.

RS&W cannot thank Mike enough, for all he has done. His presence has been missed and our organization will be forever grateful for all he has done for us, over the years.

Our sincerest condolences to his wife Mary, son Christopher and extended family, for their loss.

he regular monthly meeting of the Salem Township Board of Supervisors was held on October 13th, 2020. The meeting was called to order at 6:30pm with Robert Wittenbrader, Merel Swingle present and Dennis Chapman present via phone. The Pledge of Allegiance was then recited.

The minutes were approved with no comments or corrections on a motion made by Robert Wittenbrader 2nd

by Merel Swingle with 2 in favor and Dennis Chapman abstaining.

No Planning Commission meeting held.

Sub-divisions: Roamingwood Sewer and Water provided a project for review at the Township. County Planning didn’t feel it was a land development therefore, no review on their end.

Supervisors will review through Engineer and will provide to Township Planning.

New Business: 2021 Budget discussion rough draft and workshop will be held at the next Township meeting. Resolution 20-1001 for LSA Grant application on behalf of Hamlin Fire & Rescue for the purpose of Communication equipment for the new building was approved on a motion made by Dennis Chapman 2nd by Robert Wittenbrader with all in favor. Air BnB questions and concerns.

Indian Rocks requested a discussion on Air BnB requirements or restrictions if any in Salem Township. Gary Enslin Township Sewage Enforcement Officer spoke with concerns also especially in the Indian Rocks community where some sewage systems are not at current code. It was discussed that the Hideout handles in their community but also has a sewage system. Paupackan Lake does not allow. Attorney Treat noted prohibiting people from using their home could be a constitutional issue. Although building codes and sewage laws could require some changes and updates. Problems in sewage can be addressed through the Sewage Officer. Ordinance can be

reviewed for some regulations.

Old Business: 2020 CDBG project due to time and unable to verify one road in the Township because of some noncooperation the Supervisors moved to approve Planning for the Community for the 2020 project on a motion made

by Merel Swingle 2nd by Robert Wittenbrader with all in favor.

The Neville Trailer Park update received and project still being worked on for DEP approvals.

Doug Dipalma junk was discussed some cleanup done. Suggestion to have Gary Enslin inventory if not cleaned by next meeting, Attorney Treat will file at Board decision.

Correspondence: Fire Fighter Relief funds received and a motion to split the Relief funds evenly between Ledgedale Fire Company and Hamlin Fire & Rescue was made by Merel Swingle 2nd by Robert Wittenbrader with all in favor, each company will receive $17,324.07. Real Estate transfer tax for the month of September received in the amount of $34967.29. Bills were reviewed and a motion to approve and pay as presented with no comments or corrections was made by Merel Swingle 2nd by Robert Wittenbrader with all in favor.

Public Time: Chris Leone asked if the stop bar could be painted at the end of Cemetery Road, Supervisor Swingle advised that would get done. He also questioned the garbage that’s piled at the old Ben’s market property on 590.

Township has no jurisdiction and the property owner would be responsible.

With no other comments or business a motion to adjourn was made by Merel Swingle 2nd by Robert Wittenbrader with both in favor.

Marie Krauss, Treasurer

I urge you to review the proposed budget and come to the December 5, 2020 meeting with your questions.

The 2021 anticipated assessment increase is $45 over 2020 or 2.5%.

The Capital Budget is concentrating on maintaining and upgrading current assets. This includes upgrading the technology and security systems. $850,000 of the budget is to maintain the roads, stormwater, and lake management projects. The front gate project is scheduled to continue in 2021. The scope of the project has expanded due to the Route 590 access requirements.

The 2021 Operating Budget, as compared to the 2020 budget, was created taking an aggressive approach on income and being conservative with expenses. At this time, we have not received the amounts we will be paying for general insurance and Workman's compensation insurance. We are awaiting studies on gypsy moth and wildlife management. The proposed budget was prepared, assuming both of these items would have to be done.

The Board of Directors' goal in preparing the 2021 budget was to maintain our current assets, make additions to the existing infrastructure, and 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 challenging under ordinary conditions. The COVID-19 uncertainty for 2020 results and 2021 operating needs made the budget process more difficult. 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 A.M. Saturday, December 5, 2020, at the Main Lodge. Check e-mail blasts closer to date for more information.

The Board welcomes member comments and questions about the budget. Please forward your comments, concerns or ideas in writing to the Financial Manager, Debra Tramantano, via e-mail. dtramantano@thehideout.us.

The Board of Directors of the Association of Property Owners of the Hideout, Inc. is pleased to present the 2021 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.

5. Remove pan from the oven and place chocolate chips on top and allow to melt or melt the chocolate and then pour over the top with a spatula. Sprinkle M&M’s (or nuts) on top and then place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

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. ■
