Community Yard Sale

It’s time for the annual Pebble Creek Phase 1 Community Yard Sale!

Set up in your own yard/driveway. If you are participating, please email jessicalmensing@gmail.com so that you can be added to the event map. We will post signs at our neighborhood entrances leading up to sale day.

Yard sale day is Saturday, September 26th from 8am - Noon.

As you shop, please be mindful of the current social distancing guidelines.

COVID-19 and Social Distancing

Please do your part to protect our neighborhood! We understand that this is a difficult and strange time for everyone. Please do the responsible thing and stay home unless you need to leave for essential reasons. Please do not gather at your neighbor’s house during this time especially if you cannot abide by the current social distancing guidelines of staying 6ft apart. It only takes one infected person to spread the coronavirus across our neighborhood as many of us frequent the same stores and gas stations and visit the same restaurants for take out food. Please remember even the healthiest person can contract and spread this virus to those who may be more susceptible and who are at higher risk for complications. You may not be worried about your own health but let's do what we can to keep our neighbors healthy, too. As always, please contact us if you have any concerns within our community.

COMMUNITY INFORMATIONAL MEETING

Thursday, March 12 @ Velocity Church   7:00 PM

The Homeowners Association of Pebble Creek Phase 1 is working toward having a traffic light installed at the intersection of Roberts Road and Stallings Road.  The traffic continues to increase, cars are moving fast and the visibility is poor for those trying to pull out onto Stallings, making this a hazardous spot.  Attending the meeting will be members of the SC Department of Transportation, the Greenville County Sheriff's Department, and representatives from the Greenville-Pickens Area Transportation Study (GPATS). We are also expecting local legislators Rep. Adam Morgan and Senator Dwight Loftis.  
 

We are expecting the DOT to explain the requirements for installing a new traffic light and discuss safety concerns for that area.  We are also very interested to hear about Horizon2040, which is GPATS long-range plan for our county, and to find out how it will affect the Pebble Creek/ Stallings Road area.  Homeowners will have the opportunity to ask questions and share concerns. 

 

This message goes out to members of Pebble Creek Phase 1.  If you have friends or family who are members of other HOAs or communities who might be interested in attending, please feel free to forward this information along.  

February Leaf Pick-Up

The next date for our community leaf collection is Monday, February 17th.

We anticipate that the collection for February will be much smaller than the one in November, due to the unexpected early drop of leaves.  Therefore, we plan to complete this pick-up in one day.  For next fall, we will be working with the collection company to do the pick-up in phases so that you will be able to better plan your raking or blowing.

RESIDENTS ON STALLINGS RD. AND ROBERTS RD. ONLY

The instructions for your streets are a little different due to the lack of curbs and the potential danger of speeding vehicles.  DO NOT put your leaves in the road.  Please pile them as closely as possible to the road as you can while keeping yourself safe.  

Please help spread the word by reminding your neighbors so that everyone who wants to can take advantage of this service. 

...and the Yard of the Month for November was....

Congratulations to Felipe and Kari Garson, 109 Sassafras Dr., our Yard of the Month Winners for November!

Pebble Creek is a beautiful neighborhood in the fall, but leaf cleanup can be difficult. Felipe and Kari have done a great job keeping their yard “neat and clean.”

Speaking of which, don’t forget about neighborhood leaf pickup on Monday, December 9th! Leaves should be on the street and will be picked up via vacuum truck sometime during the day on Monday.

November News!

Hello Neighbors -

We hope this post finds you all well. As we start looking toward the holidays, we’re grateful to live in such a beautiful neighborhood!

Our latest meeting minutes are up on the Documents section of the website….You’ll likely find the section regarding the possibility of working with a property management company for our future HOA management needs enlightening…

Please understand that the Board does not explore these options lightly. So why did we? Well, we cannot ignore some of the challenges we have come up against these last couple of years (Air BnB, Pool and relationship with the golf course, complicated neighbor issues, parking issues, etc.). We have learned, as I’m sure many of our previous Board members have, that taking on a role in a Board like this is not without its liabilities and risks. We make decisions that have legal implications as we carry out our duties in the Bylaws and enforce the Covenants. We often have to step in between neighbors and we are neighbors, ourselves….

Currently, there is no training for new Board members and while we have gifted folks on the Board, none of us has the time or honestly, the knowledge, to dedicate to developing something like that. We desperately want serving on the Board to be a little easier than it is currently and in doing so, we hope that you see the Board is able to serve the community more consistently and knowledgeably. In order to achieve that, we feel we need the kind of assistance and support that a property management company can offer us.

We will bring you much more information about this both in the annual meeting announcement and at the annual meeting, but long story short, we want serving on the Board to feel like serving without feeling like a sentence. Property management doesn’t take the Board out of the picture. It assists us with some of the more mundane tasks, supports us, trains us, guides us, and allows us to be more consistent with protection of the covenants. Most importantly, it allows those that serve to simply be neighbors that serve….not mediators, police of properties, or expected experts in interpretation of legal documents and situations.

We hope you can understand and upon reflection, support our position on this topic. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of us.

On another, more FUN topic…MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

  1. FIRST LEAF PICKUP: 12/9/19 (leaves must be on street by 12/9)

  2. CHRISTMAS PARTY: 12/13/19, 5:30-8pm at the Clubhouse Grille

  3. ANNUAL MEETING: 1/14/19, 7pm at Velocity Church, 1720 Reid School Rd., Taylors, 29687

Hope you all have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving. Please reach out if you need us.

Your Board
