Линдсей Шылваж Basket ball courts should be taken down completely. They are the number one amenity that attracts crime so NO one in housing builds them anymore unless they are indoor sports courts with pass access. We've had problems for years with kids coming all the way from ridge road to start trouble at that little
Court.
Davey Crockett In case you didn’t get it here is today’s incoming email from the property management firm - it seems a long time to have to wait for the courts to be redone. I don’t use them so I really don’t care, but it seems a long wait for this.


“Holly Mill Tennis court will be closed for renovations

Dear homeowners,

The association is having the tennis courts rebuilt starting this weekend and tennis courts will under constructions for approximately 8 weeks. the tennis courts should reopen by Mid June 2017" 


(other info and photos at: https://hollymill30114.blogspot.com/)

Trish Monahan Julie- Can you shed some light on this? What was wrong with them to need to be redone? Weren't they done a few years ago?
Линдсей Шылваж I would find out the relationship between the vendor and pm company lol........
Линдсей Шылваж We need to stop this, there is no valid reason to redo these courts.
Jason Southard I just saw the email
Линдсей Шылваж Also what company did them the last time!!??????? And what date.
Amanda Fleming I am curious as well. 
Julie Finke Holubetz since you are on the board can you answer these questions? Why is our money being spent on a renovation that was just completed a few years ago? 
What happened to the new playground project plans you showed me?
Davey Crockett Does DPM also own or have a slice of whichever firm does the work? Will DPM profit from hiring the firm? Time to put the management contact out for bids from other property management firms. I looked them up online some months ago and they have lots of complaints.http://www.citysearch.com/.../douglas_property_management...
Davey Crockett Just in reference to the site linked above. I did some research on that site and found that 9 glowing reviews of some years ago were all put up on ONE day and those posters never posted again, just one shot posts. Clearly DPM put up 9 phoney reviews then, another date were 2 VERY glowing reviews. Now I see that the BOD members are coming on the site to say how they like DPM. I had several of my initial posts removed and only when I complained to the site did the one I posted about the fence issue end up on the site. Do your own research, watch out for shill posts from DPM. 
Trish Monahan We've had several issues with DPM especially getting letters upon letters of misc things. Once a letter about Christmas lights in Feb. We never even put up lights that year. Another was regarding pressure washing needing to be done, and also weeds. We received one about our trash cans being out a day AFTER trash day. We are very meticulous about the appearance of our home. NONE of these letters should have been sent. After several emails, pictures sent of other homes in constant violations with nothing being done, I went to Julie. She was very understanding and sees our house daily. She went to DPM regarding this issue and we have not received another "violation" letter. since. It was nice to be supported after a year of fighting with the management company. Come to find out, they had our house number mixed up with another home. I witnessed someone in a DPM truck speeding through HMV Dr as I was backing out of my driveway. I agree something needs to be done with DPM.
Davey Crockett I stopped off at the Tennis Court and spoke with 2 experienced players about the court.

They were satisfied with the 2 courts.

Haylee Wells My husband frequently plays on our neighborhood courts with another homeowner in the neighborhood and they have both said that the cracks do not interfere with their play and that the courts could DEFINITELY WAIT a little while longer before a resurfacing is really needed. Also, they both were quite frustrated with the timing that was chosen for the resurfacing to be completed. We finally have beautiful 70-80 degree days that are great for playing but now the courts will be closed all the way thru until the temps are consistently in the 90s and not as pleasant for playing.  Booo!
Davey Crockett So far it seems we have:

1) Bad timing for replacing the courts,


2) Probably could wait another year at least,

3) Courts not in bad shape despite several patches,

Now we need to know:

1) Who decided the courts had to be replaced?

2) How many firms were approached to bid on the job?

3) How much will this cost and what exactly is being done?

4) Is Douglas Property Management really the management firm we want here? 

5) Is it time to ask for bids from other management firms to see what proposals they can put in and the cost to use them?

Линдсей Шылваж I've been in PM for 10 years so this is all very interesting......
Amanda Fleming seems like a job that can be completed In The next fiscal year.
Julie Finke Holubetz We keep spending money of sealing cracks on the courts. We have plenty of money on our reserve account so the board voted on having the courts replaced. There has to been something going on under the courts causing so many cracks..If you look at the parking lot in front of courts you will see it is crumbling. We also had that patched twice in the last year. We are not going to keep putting band aids on items that need to be fixed. Please email the board at board@holly-mill with your concerns. Please do not use the email addresses that Davey Crockett, Tim Harvey or Bill Harris has posted on this and other sites. He has posted incorrect info. Thank you.

KENNESAW WHOLE FOODS TO OPEN IN OCTOBER
Whole Foods has opened a few stores, closed a few stores and put off indefinitely plans for many other stores due to serious financial issues.
The Kennesaw Marketplace Mall (ie: Fuqua, Inc) had listed Whole Foods as an anchor tenant for at least 2 years.
It has been questionable recently if the WF difficulties were going to impact their move to Kennesaw. Inquiries to their Southern Region resulted in generalized boilerplate replies but no definitive comments.
It has been reported that their Marietta location was to be closed and moved to the Kennesaw location. (Cobb Harry's, 70 Powers Ferry Rd SE, Marietta, GA 30067).
As of today the cat may be finally out of the bag, or at least it has a couple of paws out of the bag. WF is now quietly announcing that it will open that location ‘in the Fall of 2017'. Inquires on the site indicate that the opening will be in October 2017.
Considerable work is required on the interior. For reasons still to be determined the shell of the building went up before the electrical and plumbing work was put in and this has resulted in considerable trenching being done to run lines.
Normal construction protocol is that this is done first, then the concrete flooring is put in and last the building shell is put in place.
With this location the cart is before the horse and inquiries do not reveal a reason for this, except to acknowledge that this is not standard procedure for such construction.
No comment was available on why this is being done backwards.
So perhaps in October there will be a Whole Foods up and running.
