The HOA Board will be doing a neighborhood inspection on September 28th from 5-7pm.

As our covenants and restrictions dictate, there are certain things we aim as a neighborhood to uphold, things such as white painted fences, trimmed shrubs, house power washing, no street parking overnight, etc. In an effort to be as transparent and available as possible, we wanted to let you know when this would take place to allow for open dialogue. Everyone’s goal is to live in a beautiful neighborhood and enjoy each others company!

Hello Neighbors!

It’s been awhile so I wanted to reach out on what I’ve been asked about from fellow neighbors and let you know what your HOA team has been working on! We had a great time at the neighborhood party at the playground a few months back, we look forward to doing more!

The city will come through about once a year and trim the branches that hang in the road and on the sidewalk. In the meantime, there are definitely trees that need to be trimmed by you as they become a liability (hitting someone in the face, etc.). Please cut these back so everyone can enjoy the sidewalks and roads.

The two biggest complaints I get from neighbors and ACC team:

POWER WASHING and PARKING ON THE STREET OVERNIGHT

*With school starting up soon, buses need to be able to get around our streets, please oblige

Please take our quick survey in regards to Halloween night activities!

Thank you!

COME JOIN US, SUNDAY MAY 19TH FROM 12-3PM!

Come out and meet your neighbors! We will have this years party in the playground area. Blow up waterslide for the kids and cornhole for the adults!
Please bring a dish, a beverage, or a meat to grille to share!

Update:
We hope to have power to the playground area and the irrigation working on that side this week. The saga continues.

Sadly the front pond fountain has stopped working, we figured it would eventually because it was old and didn’t work in the past, but the aerators are in and will do a better job of ensuring the health of the pond.

We are excited to get together with all of our neighbors for a social in our playground area this Spring! An email will be going out to see what the best date in May or June would be.

Don’t Forget!

1. The city expects all tree limbs to be no more than 4 ft long for their pickup (or they will drive right past!)
2. Parking on the street overnight is not allowed. It is an issue for emergency vehicles and morning buses.
3. Need to borrow a ladder? Have questions about storm shutters? We are here to help whether you want to email the board or ask your neighbors on the Facebook page!

The monthly HOA meeting is on April 22nd at 6pm in the conference room of James Island Town Hall! These are always open to the neighborhood. Please email if you’d like to attend: [email protected]

It feels like Spring!

And Jamestowne Village residents are getting after it! Power washing, trimming, pretty new flowers… I pity the owner having to decide the next Yard of the Month!

If you need approval for changes to your home/yard, the approval sheet is on our website under Architectural Control. Also on the Bulletin Board section of the site is the contact for a power washer who gave us discounted rates.

We sent out an email asking for best dates for our Spring Neighborhood Yard Sale. Please let us know which Saturday works best for you! Click here for link to survey.

This month we put aerators in both ponds. This will improve the health of the ponds by boosting dissolved oxygen levels, which will help our beneficial bacteria, and our new fish friends. We are stocking the ponds with a few Weed-eating Grass Carp and Mosquito Fish.

We now have irrigation at the entrance to Jamestowne Village and in the playground! Waiting on electrical on the playground side, but the right is up and running.

Thank you!

Hello Neighbors!

A lot has happened and continues to get done since the last newsletter.  We had our annual meeting at the new James Island Town Hall.  Thanks so much to all that came, and if you couldn’t make it, meeting minutes will be up on the website www.jamestownevillage.info soon.
Here are some highlights from the meeting:

1. We added 5 new board members!  We now have 9 total.
2. In 2018, 13 homes in JTV changed owners.  Average sales price was $327,400.
3. People have used the power washer that we posted on the website and were happy with his service.

Some concerns that were brought up at the meeting:

1. Do not put trash/debris/cans on the curb until the day of garbage pickup, or leave cans out for days after (Article 8, Section 15 of JTV C&Rs).
2. Parking on the street overnight or in the yard is not permitted and could result in legal action if warnings are ignored.
3. Be aware of cyclists and pedestrians in our roadways and obey stop signs and speed limits. We have many walkers and young children and we need to be safe.
4. Any tree limbs hanging at face level over sidewalks on your property may be trimmed for safety, but let the city do major limbs.

Feel free to reach out if there are any questions or concerns. Email: [email protected]

Happy January, JTV!

We’ve survived the Holidays and are hunkering down for some chilly weather right now! Wanted to update you on a few things.

Thank you to all that came out to help us build our new playground and put down rubber mulch! It was great meeting some new faces.
We are in the process of replacing the little section of fence that came down, and picnic tables are soon to arrive.

Hello Neighbors!

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season, I love the lights and decorations I’ve seen so far! I am very excited to let everyone know what’s been going on in the neighborhood and what’s on the horizon.

1) We have parted ways with our management company and are bringing everything in-house again. As a board, we are anxious to begin reestablishing ways of working together as a community, hearing everyone’s input, and working together to ensure Jamestowne Village is restored to its standards and beauty that not only protect our investment but make it a great place to live.

2) As a board, we have been working hard the last month to get things established and start moving the needle. So far the old broken playground has been removed and we are working on pricing new structures and also picnic tables for the area, as well as fence repair. We now have a neighborhood P. O. Box. Our website, www.jamestownevillage.info, has been loaded up with useful information and FAQs, so please take a moment to look at it! We are getting contacts together to install a sprinkler system in the front entrance so we can finally plant grass, and also working to improve other landscaping such as cutting back trees in the entrance, around ponds, in Gunpowder Court and in the Playground area.

3) Our annual meeting will be Monday, January 28th from 6:30pm-7pm at the new James Island Town Hall at 1122 Dills Bluff Rd. Board meeting to follow from 7pm-7:45pm.

4) We are looking for people to join our HOA! If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to email [email protected]. We will elect new members at the January meeting.

Sincerely,
Sarah Cobb
Manager/Treasurer/Secretary
