 Projects in Process

*Updated September 21, 2020

• Trash: Allied Waste just called (9/21) and their truck is down so they will not be picking up trash today but will get us tomorrow. We have very little room left in the dumpsters and Leo will get loaded what he can today. Thanks for your patience, and if your trash was not collected today – he will be picking it up later this week once the dumpster is clear and we have room.
• ATV trail: We will be having 2 trucks of rock dropped off sometime this week (week of 9/21 - weather and routes permitting) to be spread on the entrance of the ATV trails. Please be aware it’s quite water logged/muddy right at the entrance, so please be careful.
• Abandoned small ATV: We found an abandoned ATV on the skeet trail, keys still in it. Not sure who’s it is, but is seems to be a junior’s ATV. If you are needing help getting it serviced or towed back to your residence, please let us know!
• Monthly Gate Code Changes: As you all know, we’re working on keeping 505 safe. To that end, we’re going to be changing owner’s/front gate codes more frequently. Our next change goes into effect on 1 October and the new owner’s code for the front gate is 2001.
  • Delivery code will only work to the back gate as of 10/1 as well: 3339
  • Contractor/Vendor code remains: 3698
• New signs: We’ve finalized our new signs to help clarify that all deliveries, service providers and contractors must enter via the back gate. We’re having them printed up and will be replacing them when they’re finished, in an effort to remind delivery trucks and large trucks to use the appropriate gate, and make sure that packages are delivered to your homes properly. 
• Deliveries and Packages:  Please remember, you have multiple options for your packages:
  1. To your home: All delivery companies deliver to gated/locked communities. You can provide them instruction to use the delivery code (3339) and deliver packages to your home. That is the most secure option to ensure packages are delivered. If you’re concerned about your package staying on your porch, please let us know and we can put it in your home/garage at your instruction.
  2. Gate House: If you do not want your packages delivered to your home, or if your home is not yet built, packages can be delivered to the Gate House as they have been. We will continue to notify you via text for packages we see when on site. We will do our best to bring them into the Gate House if possible (physically) and if there is space in the gate house. Please note, 505 Ranch/PML are not responsible for lost packages. If you receive a delivery notice and the package is missing, or any form of notice stating your package was rejected/returned – notify us immediately via email with all the details you can so that we can pull security footage. Our DVR keeps a 2 week record, so time is of the essence for these requests. 
• Gate Security: As our community is now sold out – there is no need to have a “sales office” style of entrance. To help with all the complaints of “lookie-loo’s” and suspicious vehicles on property, as well as to help with Gate House packages disappearing after delivery, we have closed the very front gate at the road moving forward. If you are tailed into the community or feel the vehicle behind you is suspect, feel free to drive around the pond and allow your tail to reach the gates first. If they don’t have access or a code, they will likely follow suit – and right out of the community. We all need to be vigilant with not allowing vehicles to tail us in. Thieves are brazen, as are realtors and local vendors keen to get into 505 to drum up business or look around. We can all help keep 505 safe by taking that extra moment to trust our gut instinct. 
• Construction Hours: Everyone is anxious to have their homes built and those with homes are trying to enjoy the serenity that 505 brings. Those two goals are obviously in direct conflict with each other – which is a challenge! 😊  Effective September 1, 2020 the following construction hours will be in place for 505:
  1. Exterior construction may happen outside the home Monday – Saturday from 8am – 7pm
  2. No exterior construction work or noisy exterior machinery after 7pm or on Sundays
  3. Interior work may be done any day at any time as this does not interfere with any other homeowner’s experience
• Please remember to instruct your contractors and vendors to use the back/deliveries entrance and the contractor code of 3698. Without your direct communication to us authorizing entrance for anyone who comes to the Gate House/Front Gate/Calls from Back Gate– we do not let them in. We are approached daily by individuals posing as workers who say they “forgot their code” – and when we ask who they’re working for so we can call them to confirm – they quickly change their story and leave. We’re doing what we can to keep the community safe, and your help in this is appreciated!
• Skeet Area: Door locks have been changed to a number combination lock. Code is 1505.  
• Fix stone on hot tub spillway to pool (need 24 hours no rain to properly set mortar). This will be completed in the next month when weather permits and guest house is un-rented to keep from interfering with pool/guest house usage.
• Owners’ Lodge leaking exterior spigot – it leaks more when water is on low. This will be completed in the next month when weather permits and other high priority projects have been completed. 
• Right side fan (if looking out to lake) does not work in Owners’ Lodge patio.  Fan has been purchased and Doyal needs to modify in order to hang (as of 7/21/2020). This is still in process.
• Pool and Hot Tub: We appreciate feedback if you find the pool or hot tub not working properly, however ask that you respect the locked pool enclosure and not enter or attempt to fix anything that may be malfunctioning. The pool equipment has been repaired and is challenging, therefore we ask that you notify PML of anything requiring maintenance and we will dispatch a trained professional to assist. As always, feel free to text 903-686-0607 if you would like the hot tub turned on for your enjoyment as we can turn it on remotely at any time!
• Sea Wall Assistance: 505 staff can back fill with rock, sand and concrete as a temporary patch to help slow erosion. This is not meant as a solution and is a stop-gap until homeowners determine their permanent sea wall solution. Doyal is managing this process on a first-come-first-served system, based on when the land is dry and accessible via tractor. There must be a clear line of access in order to have the tractor come through.  Homeowners are responsible for the cost of materials.
• Missing Fence Posts (perimeter fence). Noted and to be addressed in coming year.
• Tree on left side of pool house if you’re looking out to the lake – looks rotten, maybe termites and leans toward owners’ lodge – looks like it should be cut down. Awaiting HOA approval/confirmation.
• Dead tree by road to be cut down near mail box – looks like it should be cut down. Awaiting HOA approval/confirmation.
