We are now in the spring storm season.

The Belle Meade storm shelter is located on the north side of property near the north gate.  It is just north of Bldg. # 1 by the detached garages.  The storm shelter is marked.  Please use it during tornadoe warnings.  Hopefully we won’t need to use it this year.

On January 1, 2010 the Belle Meade Board of Directors hired Meadowbrook Management Company to manage Belle Meade Condo Assoc.  Letters detailing this move has been mailed to every condo owner.  The operation and management will generally continue as before.  Payment of dues will continue the same.  Concerns will still be directed to the Belle Meade office.  Phone # 934-8340. E-mail address: bellemeadeca@gmx.com.

The snow and ice have created some challanges here at Belle Meade.  A roofing company has had to come on several occassions to remove snow and ice build up on several of the buildings.  There have been leaks into some of the buildings and individual units.

There will be a system upgrade of the Pass Point card key program.  The card keys are used for access to the fitness center and the pool gate in the summer.  Letters have been sent to all condo owners concerning this upgrade.  All card keys will need to be reentered in the new system upgrade.  On the back of your card key you will find a set of numbers needed by the office for the upgrade on your card.  The same cards will be used.

Thank you for consideration in these matters.

Happy New Year to one and all!

We have had numerous reports of leaks in all 3 buildings.  The previous snow and ice we’ve had is causing havoc on the roofs of all the buildings.  Please be patience.  These circumstances are beyond our control.  But please do notify the office when you notice a leak anywhere in your unit or in any of the buildings.  We have had roofers remove snow and ice from a very critical area of building 3, that was causing some damage.  We would like not to do this, because it is very dangerous for the workers and could cause shingle damage.  This is all an act of nature.  As stated earlier your patience is very much appreciated.

Our snow removal crew has done a very nice job, considering the amount of snow and weather that we have had.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the office at # 934-8340; or e-mail us at bellemeadeca@gmx.com.

 Here’s hoping you have a Happy and Prosperous 2010!!
