Neighborhood Patrol (NP) Presentation (Tom Traython)

      • Things have been fairly quiet in Cambridge. However, reported theft in the area is on the rise. Keep your doors and cars locked. Do not have any valuables in your car. Remember to close your garage doors and never let anyone into your home that you don’t know!
      • If you see something that looks out of place, PLEASE call NP immediately.
      • Call NP about solicitors RIGHT AWAY so they investigate further.
      • NP speed radar will be placed out on Springstone again soon! Hopefully this will help slow some traffic down.
      • Vacation checks are still a valuable resource for residents. You can call NP or go on their website to register for a vacation check: http://geistpatrol.com/
      • Golf carts are NOT allowed on highways/streets in Fishers. No one under the age of 16 is permitted to drive a golf cart. Fishers PD may begin enforcing this at any time. Please feel free to contact Fisher PD at 317.595.3300 with any questions.

Committee Reports

      • Architectural Control (Al Morey) – If you are considering any exterior changes to your home, please fill out the architectural request form on website. It is important that any changes are in accordance with our covenants and restrictions. The review board has 30 days to provide a response, but the turnaround time is generally much quicker and usually no more than 2 weeks. Fishers has a 35% rule whereas a property is not allowed to have more than 35% hard surface. This has become an issue for residents; in particular property owners how are looking to install a pool in their yard. Fishers has been granting variances and board is happy to assist owners in any way to obtain one.
      • Landscape (Pat Carlini-Miller and Kara Reibel) – Ken Branam (Cambridge resident) has been doing landscaping this year. This year there were enhancements done to all of the entrances and they look awesome! The board applied for a grant from Fishers and was awarded $4,000 towards this project. Christmas will be hung at the entrance soon by a professional and this year we do not anticipate any electrical issues since we improved the electric at the entrances as well. If you have a green thumb and have any plant suggestions for the board please let us know!
      • Park (Christine Nevogt) New playground equipment was installed this year and we have had all positive feedback about it. In 2014 the board is considering removing the old sand volleyball court and installing a new pavilion. If you have any other suggestions for the park please contact a board member or Dan Quigley (Kirkpatrick).
      • Social (Rachel Quade) The board sponsors an annual Easter egg hunt at the park, 4th of July parade and party (the largest family event), Oktoberfest (adults only), and Santa Sleigh Visits. Please contact the board if you would like to volunteer with helping out at any of these events. They are a ton of fun!
      • Newsletter (Kara Reibel– If you want to receive the newsletter you can sign up on the Cambridge website. Past newsletters are also posted there.
      • Website (Christine Nevogt) – Our website is meant to be a resource for residents to find all board meeting minutes, newsletters, covenants and restrictions, safety reports and information, photos, social agenda, contact information and current updates. So far in 2013 we’ve had 2,343 visits and of those 1,540 are from unique visitors. When we have important announcements signs are placed at the entrances alerting folks to check the website and we do see a spike in activity when those signs are out!

Open Discussion

      • There was a suggestion to bring all future construction traffic through the entrance on Olio by the cemetery.
      • Deeded docks are NOT covered under the associations insurance policy. It would fall under the homeowners policy.
      • The deeded dock owners in the “new cove” will be notified and a dock reserve fund will be established for them.
      • Fishers is looking into setting up a conservancy to help maintain Geist, but this is still a few years in the making. Until then residents are encouraged to get together to treat the water. The association cannot get involved with the treatment for legal reasons.
      • The board is considering replacing all of the street signs in Cambridge. The cost would be significant, but it would give the neighborhood a classier look and feel. If we replace the signs the association would be responsible for maintaining and/or replacing the signs in the future (currently Fishers is responsible). It seems the majority of residents at this meeting were in favor of replacing the signs.
