Historians conducted a study of Redoubt #4 on March 29th. They utilized ground penetrating radar to map and survey the site. They are hopeful to find evidence of cannon placements, as well as the timber from the fortification walls. This was a day-long project and non-invasive. They welcomed anyone who wanted to stop by or ask questions about GPR or civil war history. They plan to share their findings with the community at a “discover and learn” event once they evaluate the data. 

On behalf of Milosi,

We realize that there is an opportunity to strengthen our communication to individual homeowners about private services within the community. We want to apologize for any inconveniences that may have occurred over the past few weeks. Like any organization, we aren’t perfect and do make mistakes from time-to-time, but we lean on our core values and get better. We have addressed our Client Relationship Manager that was struggling to provide proper communication. The key to being successful is never compromising values and providing clear and consistent communication. We need to be sound listeners and then provide guidance and support both effectively and efficiently. We will continue to improve this process.

When we start working for a new community, it is difficult to calculate the volume of contact until you are receiving it.  Based on the volume at Abbottsford over the past few weeks, we feel we need to have two Client Relationship Managers working with the community.  We will have a Commercial Client Relationship Manager, Daniel Shoap, that will work with Cody to service the overall master contract for the community.  For all private property requests, we will have a second, Bobby Caudell, who will have responsibility for one off work for individual homeowners. 

We want to thank the community for their understanding as we transition to a brand-new community and work through the needs and nuances of a large HOA.  We are so honored to have the opportunity to service such a beautiful and influential Nashville neighborhood. Our objective, which is all over our physical and social footprint, is “Let’s Grow Beautiful Together.” Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions and/or requests. We look forward to meeting as many of you as possible in the coming weeks and months.   Have a fantastic day!

Kindly,

Update: Metro has moved this repair to another timeframe. Unfortunately, the repair requires an emergency construction crew, so we could be bumped down the list for a while. I will send any update I can about the timing of this repair if I receive it.

Metro Water Department is planning a major repair to a community water valve on Bowring Park. Water could be shut off to a large area while this repair is being made. At this time, they do not know the extent of the shut off area, but service interruptions should be expected in and outside of Abbottsford. These repairs are expected to take around 3+ hours. We will send more information if it becomes available.

It has felt like spring, but it’s still winter. Colder weather this weekend will be a good reminder of that before we warm again next week.

Hardwood mulch application was about 98% completed before the rain came in Friday afternoon. Preemergent weed control and any other required weed control measures were applied ahead of mulch application. Second round preemergent will be applied early summer. We have identified and mapped areas around the community that still need to be completed. Milosi detail crews will be completing these small areas on Monday or Tuesday as well as completing manager walkthroughs and final clean up of the mulching project.

Annual planting beds were not mulched with hardwood mulch. These planting beds will need to be mulched using alternative products when your annual plantings happen starting next month.

Any homeowners that ordered alternative mulch types from Milosi: being year one, the lead time for this season is about 2 weeks after community hardwood mulch installation. They are hopeful to streamline the process and have alternative products delivered more timely if we have them back next season.

Reminder that turf fertilization and weed control treatment round 1 is our next service and will begin soon.

Please reach out to the on-site manager with any questions regarding landscaping services.

Updates 2/16: We have several small paving repairs being done to our roadways in the next 2 weeks. These repairs are for AT&T fiber installation and Metro Water Department projects and are part of the restoration programs for the work done by those service providers. Please be patient with paving crews and be cautious of any roadway obstructions while they complete this restoration.

The At&t road restoration contractor is scheduled to begin Tuesday 2/20. Work will be done on roadway areas marked in pink. This is asphalt restoration, so it can be a little smelly. I would advise the homeowners to make sure windows, doors, and chimneys are closed so the odor doesn’t flow into their homes. 

Metro water department repairs near Overton/Foster Hill do not have an calendar date at this time, but should be happening soon.

Large scale paving projects for Abbottsford are still in the planning phase. We will send more information out on that topic as it is available.
