Building Site Dumpsters

We have received a number of complaints from builders that residents are using their building site dumpsters for disposal of unwanted furniture and other bulk trash and even kitchen garbage.  Please refrain from using these dumpsters as your personal trash receptacle.  We have worked hard with the city and builders to clean up construction sites and some residents reward this with highly disrespectful and illegal action. If you see any such activity, please notify the Solon Police Department at 440-248-2932.

Signature of Solon Safety Communique

Your Homeowners' Association trustees have unanimously determined, after obtaining proper legal counsel that we must significantly alter our current safety/security approach and enforcement methods if we are to maintain our development as a pedestrian-friendly, safe and secure place to live.

To this end, we are currently investigating three basic options to address the safety issue:

1. Install permanent speed bumps, or other similar self-policing speed restrictors.  These would essentially be a one-time cost.

2. Turn over responsibility for street safety and security to the City of Solon.  There would be no speed bumps, but residents would lose the ability to operate golf carts on our streets unless they were licensed and "street legal".  Carts could be used on sidewalks and move across streets at designated crossings.  There might be additional, recurring costs.

3. Employ a private security company to provide safety monitoring and mobile street/cart path patrols.  The private nature of the development would be maintained; there would be no speed bumps, but significant on-going costs would probably be incurred.

The feasibility and cost of these options are now being investigated as a special project headed by Dick Eshleman, one of our residents reshleman@adapt-consulting.com. He expects to present his preliminary findings to the board in August.

We are interested in any feedback from residents on this project, and Dick is interested in having assistance from homeowners who may wish to join his committee.

Please provide any feedback to this e-mail through our website by August 15th, or if you plan to participate in Dick's project, contact him directly as soon as possible.  Thank you.
