Election – Thank you to all who ran for a seat on the Board. We had 5 open seats and 9 candidates. The 5 new Board members (with term listed) are in alphabetical order:
Aishwarya Avvari (2), Louis DiGeronimo (3), Elizabeth Greenfield Estersohn (1), Amy Hummerstone Israelsson (3), Michael Siegel (3).
We hope that the candidates who ran will have an interest to participate on some upcoming committees – all hands on deck please! 😊
January Dues – Please be sure to check that you have made adjustments to your bank account if you have auto pay for your dues. The November 2021 budget meeting introduced the new budget for 2022 with a 3% increase.
If you have made no changes to your home the increase will be 3% . If you have made improvements and the borough has reassessed your home, the dues increase will reflect any increases the borough may have made on your home as well. The multiplier figure is: 0.0052324 times the borough assessment of your home.
Borough leaf regulations
Residents are encouraged to check the Borough’s website at: www.fairlawn.org/leafpickup for information on the NEW leaf pick up guidelines. You are no longer allowed to blow leaves on to the streets, but must bag your leaves. Please do not blow them in to the parks.
Grant – We submitted an application for a grant to the NJ Historic Preservation program for the tunnel renovation plan. We did hear back that our application has been accepted and the paperwork is being submitted for MNLA and Falcon Engineering to begin the scope for this first phase of this project.
Upcoming projects – We began the B pool filtration project. The wading pool is the first part that is being renovated and the filtration lines are being installed. The inside filtration work will be done over the wintertime.
Some reminders for Radburn members:
Please be sure to have your Real estate agent, or yourself - contact the office prior to your closing on the sale of your home so that we can be sure that the new owner gets the proper documentation they need for their closing.
Welcome – to new owners in Radburn Association, please be sure to reach out to the office to sign up for our online communications, along with the voice mails sent out as well. We will be hosting a Welcome Tea after the New Year so we can have new neighbors meet and greet!
Radburn Crossings- A warm welcome to all the new members moving into your homes at the Crossings. Feel free to reach out to your managing agent Integra with any concerns about your homes, or to Radburn Association if you need information on the parks and programs, etc.
Radburn Association would like to ask homeowners to be sure to keep the fronts of their homes clear of trash and their cans stored away from the front of your home after every pick up - your homes are close to each other so your neighbors really appreciate your cooperation to help keep your property values up and Radburn Beautiful. How you maintain your home will affect your neighbor’s resale value and vice versa – so cooperation is appreciated! We have been sending out letters to those that need a gentle reminder and will follow up if there is no response. We also ask that you trim any overhanging shrubs, vines, etc on the paths – this will make for easy walking and snow clearing.
Architectural Guidelines – The Architectural Committee and the sub committee volunteers who assisted (thank you all – you know who you are!) have completed the clarified Architectural Guidelines book. This was approved and voted on at a special meeting on December 13, 2021.
Any exterior modifications must be submitted with an architectural application to the office – BEFORE you begin any projects. This includes tree removals. We also need to know that the Borough permits are being applied for as well - where required. If you are planning on putting any structure outside your home, Please call the office first with any questions to be sure all would be approved. Thank you!
All pets must be on leash, per Borough ordinance
We ask for QUIET HOURS ON SUNDAYS – We have a request for No exterior work before 8:30 AM – Thank you!
As the holiday season is fast approaching – we would like to take this time to wish you a Wonderful Holiday Season. See you out and about! 😊
Janet and TEAM Anna and Rene
