Owners are encouraged to attend the Annual
Meeting on Saturday, January 31st in the
Community Room at 10 AM. Meeting
information including ballot, proxy and agenda
will be sent by regular mail to the address we
have on file for you.
It is hard to believe, but 2015 is here, and it is
always wise to reflect on the past year so we
can understand the effectiveness of our efforts.
Do you live at Appleridge? We’d like to remind
you: our 1970’s plumbing CANNOT handle
heavy use. Please use the trash bin for food
items rather than your disposal. We will begin
installation of heat tape on the roof for those
problem areas where ice builds up during the
winter.
Ripples is available by email! Please write to
[email protected] and we’ll get you
added to the distribution list. Happy New Year!

A quick overview would be the indicator of unit
sales within Lakeview Terrace. During the
entire year of 2013 the average price for units
sold was $62,700 and in 2014 the average price
for units sold was $74,800. The increase in
average value for units sold is 19.3% which
certainly should be encouraging to each owner.
The major expenditure from the Association's
reserve fund has been to seal roofs in order to
extend the roof life and reduce the concern
over leaks. The cost has been $77,000 over the
last twelve months and the contribution to the
reserve has been increased to almost $60,000
per year. Flashing on several buildings have
also been repaired and boards replaced at a
cost included in the amount designated for
roofs. All repairs have been paid in full from
the Association's reserve funds.
Utility costs continue to increase at a healthy
rate, but with the cost of gas going down the
increase may stop and stabilize. The level of
monthly dues should be able to hold at $170.00
with all factors considered.
Have a good 2015 and help in celebrating by
being considerate of your neighbors. Our
Annual Meeting will be on January 22, at 5:00
p.m. in the community room, 3150 Lakeside
Drive.
