Replacing our Ash Trees.

As you know from the Friday robo call, we are replacing 25 of the Ash trees that were removed in the Fall. About 40 trees will be going up in our community during the next few weeks. The replacements consist of Japanese Lilac, Kousa Dogwood, City Sprite Zelkova. In accordance with a Wall Township Ordinance we will also be planting Norway Spruce.

The 2020 Common area plantings will consist of Kwanzan Cherry Trees, Norway Spruces, Japanese Lilac trees, and City Sprite Zalkova Trees.

G&I are introducing a variety of trees so as to give us some protection should a new problem impact any certain tree variety.

Thanks to all on G&I for their work on this multi-year project.

Using our gates during a power failure.

Our front gates have a battery powered back up system that will allow the gates to be opened in the event of a power failure. The front gate is also the access point for Police, Fire, and Emergency vehicles.

The back gates do not have the backup system in place. In the event of a power outage residents will have to enter/exit the community via the front gate.

This was discussed at today’s Board meeting and the HOA will be getting an estimate to install a battery backup system for the rear gates.
