ROAD CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
To All Residents,
You may have noticed equipment starting to show up in the subdivision for the road repair and construction. This project will start this coming Monday, September 23, 2024 at 7am.
E. Meier construction will be the contractor on this project through our Jefferson County road maintenance contract. As part of this project, one side of a road will be done at a time with a 15 minute limit or five car restriction for traffic that the company will follow. Please be patient when attempting to leave or enter the subdivision as roads will be in disarray.
We understand that this will be a drawn out project that will take some time to complete, but the outcome will be wonderful.
E. Meier construction will begin with Sunny Brook Court, then move to Brook Ridge Drive, then will complete with Sunny
Brook Drive towards exiting the subdivision. They will provide handouts for residents as they move through the roads.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
We wanted to provide an update to the road construction, since today started Sunnybrook Court.
As previously stated in our last update post - https://www.facebook.com/share/p/hLyN9Qd36q9Gwcir/? - this will be a very disruptive process, but will have a wonderful end result. Please be patient as we travel the roads during this time. Although there are rules in place that there is to be no parking on the roads, exceptions will be made currently and while driveways are inaccessible. We ask that parking on the road is not in a driving lane and to keep all cars on the same side of the road when necessary (do not block other driveways and roads). Vehicles do need to cleared first thing in the morning so that construction traffic and others can get through easily. From the fire departments perspective - a safety lane must be maintained, allowing access at any given time.
Day one of construction has proven to be interesting as the construction company did puncture a spire gas line at one of the spots that was being dug up. The line was marked and was not the fault of the contractor. Per Spire - the line ended up not being buried deep enough below the surface. We are glad that this situation did not end up worse. Repairs have been made and construction will continue.

As you may have noticed, due to all the markings on the roads within the subdivision, several of our roads will soon receive much needed repair. This is all part of the Jefferson County Maintenance Program. As of this A.M. - Wednesday, March 6th - you will start to see E. Meier Construction throughout. They are beginning to cut concrete of sections that are slated for replacement.
We understand there will be inconveniences during the repair project. There is no timeframe as to the completion of the project and it will be done in sections allowing for best traffic flow as possible. The County, E. Meier, and the HOA trustees are available for any issues that come about. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

As a reminder, and with the potential winter weather approaching, that per the rules and regulations of the HOA - there is no parking on the streets. This is most important when snow has fallen

ROADWORK UPDATE
As many are aware - the County was in the neighborhood on Tuesday, August 2nd putting temporary patches in potholes and large cracks. During the storms last evening a handful of these patches did get washed away due to the underlayment below not being able to hold. The County continues to plan for full repairs (concrete for concrete) but is doing what they can to currently maintain. Again - this is NO COST to the subdivision and all part of the road maintenance program. The County is aware of the washouts and will be back onsite asap to repair further. Those willing and able to cleanup any broken piece in their immediate area is much appreciated.Any questions - please do not hesitate to ask.
7/29/22
NEW SIGNAGE AND STOP SIGNS
As you may have noticed, the County has began the process of making updates throughout the neighborhood with updated street signs and larger stop signs. There is also now speed limit signs that are posted - 20 mph limit throughout.
Please make sure that we are maintaining proper speeds throughout the neighborhood for the safety of residents and little ones as well as obeying all posted stops.
**PLEASE NOTE** - We are aware that the stop sign was not replaced at Sunny Brook Dr./Brook Ridge Dr. and have reached out to the county to see if this was incidental. We will update as we know more.

JEFFERSON COUNTY ROAD PROGRAM ACCEPTANCE
The county has advised that we should see them in the neighborhood over the next few weeks addressing any immediate concerns with roads. They will come up with a formal plan over time and make those repairs accordingly. Several residents have asked if we will be having the county take over plowing service over winter months - at this time we plan to continue to stay private, as this is still an option to us, and pay for this service.

Happy Thanksgiving from your Sunny Brook Farms Trustees! - Please see the below entertainment on Sunday, November 28th. Be on the lookout!
We wanted to send notification for those that have not seen yet that Dura-Seal is in the neighborhood making patch repairs. We have been working diligently for the last couple of months trying to make this happen as a warranty repair at no cost to the subdivision. We do apologize that there was no prior notification on this and that they just showed up. Dura-Seal ended up having leftover patch from a big job and decided to come out and complete these repairs today.ÔøºÔøº For those that are home today, Ôøºplease clear any vehicles from the road so they can work and make this happen. This is a temporary fix of the bigger issue of full road repairs - to which the transfer of roads to Jefferson county will fix that. These patches should help us get through the winter months.
11/5/2021
WINTER WEATHER REMINDER
The trustees would also like to remind residents with the upcoming winter weather soon to arrive - that vehicles should NOT be parked on the streets as per the rules of the HOA.

WARNING
A resident reported the following...
"A neighbor of mine on Sunny Brook Court reported to me that he encountered an intruder who entered their home through a back door while they were home. This happened today (January
21st) at 9:30 a.m.
The homeowner said the man was white, wearing a red hoodie, light colored jeans with a dark mustache, skinny and about 5'9". The man fled the scene when he noticed the homeowner was home and he
was chased up Sunny Brook Drive towards the back of the subdivision. The homeowner reported the incident to law enforcement."

Common Ground and Storm Drains
Despite the heavy spring rains, our storm drains have been inpected by Marty with A & J Drain Service and are in sound condition. There was common ground cleanup on Sunny Brook Dr. which has been completed by Ken Steiger (our lawn service company). Common ground cleanup behind Sunny Brook Ct. is still to be completed, planned for this summer.
12/15/2014
Missouri State Law bans the disposal of yard waste in landfills. It is unlawful to dump yard waste into the storm drain or creeks. To report improper disposal of yard waste in storm drains or creeks, contact the Jefferson County Storm Water Management Program at: 636-797-6228
What can YOU do to prevent yard waste from polluting our water?
1. Never allow yard waste to be washed down or put into the storm drains.
2. Do not sweep or blow grass clippings along the street or into a storm drain.
3. Do not dump grass or yard waste onto a creek bank or area where it will be washed into creeks and rivers.
4. Control soil on your property by planting native trees and ground cover to stabilize erosion-prone areas.
5. Compost your leaves, brush, grass clippings and other yard waste.
6. Use any community resources offered by your municipality or County for further assistance.
For more see the 'Yardwaste Collection Sites' PDF on our 'Business Listing' page.
12/08/2014
We have created a 'Business Listings' page. This is a place for our residents to post links and contact information regarding businesses they are involved in, as well as other useful contacts. Please email sunnybrookfarmsHOA@gmail.com to request an addition.
Fire Lanes and parking on the street
2014
Due to several concerns about some of the parking on the streets. We have been working with the Rock Community Fire District Marshall to evaluate our streets and hydrant locations to establish fire lanes. Some of the parking on the streets may interfere with emergency vehicles trying to gain access to our homes and it needs to be addressed. The last thing anyone wants is the unthinkable to happen because our local emergency vehicles cannot gain access to some of the areas of the subdivision. Stay tuned for more updates after we receive the Fire Marshalls report.
Status 7/2014: Mr. Delapp from the fire department made a presentation at the July 2014 subdivision meeting. Per fire codes and based on the width of our streets, we should have a fire lane and signage for no parking on the side of the street with fire hydrants througout the subdivision. There are costs and labor with the signage so this effort is on hold, Mr. Delapp stated he will mark the placement when we are ready.
Annexation with the City of Arnold
2014
The results from the pre-annexation poll of the residents are in and are as follows:
YES - 27 total votes
NO - 16 total votes
Note: Only 44% of the homeowners replied to the pre-annexation vote. In order to move on with the City of Arnold the subdivision needs a "YES" vote from 100% of the residents.
Delinquent Homeowners
2014
Status as of 7/13/2014, the trustees have been working with CVTO’s attorneys to go after the delinquent homeowners (includes special assessment fees and past years of annual dues). Collection letters from the attorney have been sent out as the first step to legally getting the money our HOA is owed. Stay tuned for more updates.
