February News from Barclay Place

February 22, 2008

Greetings from Barclay Place.

The Board of Directors would like to take a few moments of
your time to let you know about a few items.

First, a simple Rules & Regulations issue: Skateboarding is
prohibited anywhere on the property of Barclay Place. That
includes the roads, parking spaces, sidewalks and
especially the pool area and Tennis Court. This is to
protect the asphalt and clearly the surface of the tennis
court and pool deck could be damaged by such activities.
Parents should be aware that they will be held financially
responsible for any damage caused by their children's
activities.

Speaking of asphalt, you may have noticed the pink spray
paint in multiple areas around the community. That's
because we are getting ready to repair the asphalt and
resurface. This activity will occur in March and residents
will be notified about parking and other issues. Once done,
we will have beautiful roadways and parking areas that need
to be protected from damaging activities.

Before we complete the resurfacing, you'll be seeing a tree
crew that will be removing dead trees and trimming back
branches. We'll be completing this work before the
resurfacing so as not to damage the new work.

You may have noticed that we have completed the resurfacing
of the pool and spa deck and it looks terrific. If you
haven't been down there, make a point to take a look.

We are also starting a Neighborhood Watch group for Barclay
Place. We don't have a crime wave in our community but we
want to take aggressive preventative action to keep us that
way.

We have had several volunteers for Block Captains but we
are in need of more. The Seminole County Sheriff's Office
believes we need 15 for a community our size. If you are
interested in
becoming a block captain for 5-10 units in your area of
Barclay Place, send an email to
board@barclayplace-heathrow.com or write your name and
address on a piece of paper and drop it at
the Clubhouse mail drop. Please reference your interest in
Neighborhood Watch.

This is a very worthwhile cause as it gives the Crime
Prevention Unit in at the Sheriff's office a communication
channel to get us information about activities in our area.
It doesn't take much time - mostly passing out flyers and
handouts to your "block" as they are passed onto us. Please
consider participating.

As a last item, the Board has contracted with a new
landscaping and irrigation service. We have had a number of
complaints about the service and irrigation and our
previous contractor
simply wasn't responsive. The new company, Richert's
Landscaping, will be starting on April 1, after the
required notification period with Nanak's passes.

As your neighbors, we appreciate all you do to make Barclay
Place a wonderful community to live in. We hope that you
find our activities value-enhancing to both your property
values and
your lives.

The Board of Directors at Barclay Place.
