IN THIS ISSUE: Annual Egg Hunt this Saturday Redevelopment and Rental Update Keep Vuecrest Beautiful! Call for Volunteers Vuecrest Monthly Board Meeting Annual Egg Hunt this Saturday Join your Vuecrest neighbors at the intersection of Park and Belfair (near our main entrance) at 11am this Saturday, April 12th for our annual neighborhood Egg Hunt. Even if you don't have kids, this is a great event to meet neighbors and enjoy the spring morning. We could still use a couple of volunteers to help out with the event; please contact social@vuecrest.net if you're interested. Redevelopment and Rental Update As you likely have noticed, there is a lot of construction going on in Vuecrest, and more is about to begin. There are currently 19 projects at various stages of planning or construction, which underscores the desirability and value of our neighborhood. The Vuecrest Board reviews each of these projects (many with multiple revisions) and also uses a licensed consulting architect to help verify that they are compliant with our covenants and policies. The Vuecrest Building Guide (available at http://www.vuecrest.net/resource-center) lists a number of requirements for construction sites in our neighborhood, including hours of construction and site maintenance and cleanup. Most projects proceed without issue, but sometimes there are problems, especially with subcontractors who aren't always aware of our rules. And with this many projects, it can be hard for volunteer Architecture committee members to monitor all of the activity. If you see issues, please contact architecture@vuecrest.net Another sign of our neighborhood's long-term appeal is the sharp reduction in the number of homes being rented out. As of last week, less than 15% of the properties in our neighborhood are rentals, a big reduction from a few years ago. If you are renting your property, please be aware of our rental policy (also at http://www.vuecrest.net/resource-center) and be sure to update tenant information at http://www.vuecrest.net/communicate/update-us. Keep Vuecrest Beautiful! A little effort goes a long way. Our community mail stands look much better when flyers and newspapers are removed on garbage day. Consider bringing a bag with you when you walk and pick up litter dropped by the recycle trucks. Please pull those bins in promptly and tuck them away in a discreet spot. There's value in a clean neighborhood for everyone! Call for Volunteers The board is looking for a volunteer to write our monthly newsletter and help with other board communications tasks. If you are interested, please email directors@vuecrest.net. Vuecrest Monthly Board Meeting Please join us at the next Board Meeting on Thursday, May 1st [7:00 - 9:00 p.m.] at the home of Carrie Magnuson and Steve Wick, 9636 Evergreen Drive.
