| Winter Pool Facility to Open Saturday 2/28/15 |
Posted on Feb 25th, 2015
The day has finally arrived! the Winter Pool Facility will open to the Moss Creek Residents on Saturday February 28, 2015 at 1pm.
Initially, the hours will be Saturdays and Sundays 1pm-6pm for open swim.
Shortly, weekday lap swimming hours will be announced.
Hours may be subject to change at the Board's discretion and depending upon attendance.
Two Lifeguards will always be on duty during these hours.
Entrance to the Winter Pool will be through the EAST POOL GATE - it has been outfitted with card access. This is the gate on the left side of the clubhouse closest to the tent structure.
Each resident entering must swipe his or her ID card to enter the gate, then proceed inside the tent structure to sign in with the Lifeguard.
The restrooms are still located inside the lower level of the clubhouse. A temporary fence has been erected to restrict access to the restrooms and the tent structure and to keep anyone from unsafely accessing the other un-guarded swimming pools and deck space.
The Winter Swimming Facility is a place that is primarily for swimming. There is not a lot of deck space inside for lounging or hanging out. There will be chairs around the perimeter and a couple of tables, but no lounge chairs. State regulations require a 10 foot clearance of decking around the pool itself.
Please read the Winter Pool Rules Addendum before visiting the facility.
The Winter Swim Facility will be open through the end of April. In the beginning of May, the pool will be closed in preparation for the regular season which begins on May 16th. Winter Pool Rules Addendum

| Winter Pool Access |
Posted on Jan 19th, 2015
We do not yet have a definitive answer on when the residents will be granted access to the Winter pool.
The construction is not yet complete on the structure. They are still installing the interior lighting and heating. There are inspections and permitting that remain to be done by the County/City for electrical, gas and health dept. We also still have to finalize the bathroom access process and the method we will use to close off the rest of the pool facility/deck for safety and liability.
Once we have those things accomplished, we will announce the opening to the residents.
This is the information printed in the January newsletter and answers many of the commonly asked questions:
Coming through the front entrance of the community towards the clubhouse, you can’t miss the new structure over the 25 meter ‘adult’ pool...

| Moss Creek Master and TOA Assns Annual Meeting & Election—Reconvened |
Posted on Jan 12th, 2015
The annual meeting of the Master Assn was held on November 17th and the TOA’s annual meeting was held on December 11th. Neither Association meeting had enough resident attendance to meet the quorum requirements to conduct official business/elect officers. Therefore, the Master meeting will be reconvened on Monday, January 26, 2015 at 6:30 pm and the TOA annual meeting will be reconvened on Thursday, January 22, 2015 at 6:30 pm at the Moss Creek Clubhouse at 9505 Moss Plantation Ave NW Concord, NC 28027. If you do not plan to attend, make your vote count by turning in your proxy BY the day of the meeting. For the Master, please select THREE (3) candidates when voting. You may email your proxy to holly@kuester.com, drop it off at the clubhouse office, place it in the locked drop box by the clubhouse front door , fax it to the Fort Mill office or hand it to a neighbor that plans to attend the meeting. Click here to download the Master Association Proxy. Click here to download the Townhome Association proxy; Or pick up a copy in the clubhouse lobby.
For the reconvened meeting, State Statute 47F allows for the quorum requirements to be reduced to half of the original amount, therefore, 5% of the membership equaling 63 votes either in person or by proxy is needed for elections to occur. In an effort to expedite the election, the Board will be voting via directed proxy. If you do not plan to attend the meeting to vote in person, please submit a proxy completely filled out no later than the commencement of the meeting. |

| Potential Amendment to CC&Rs to Restrict Leasing |
Posted on Sep 10th, 2014
There is a proposal to change the Moss Creek Village Master CC&Rs to restrict leasing of homes. Linked here are the proposed amendment (which will be the 2nd amendment to the CC&Rs, if passed) and the ballot for voting. If you wish to fill out the ballot: print, sign and return it to the drop box outside the front door to the clubhouse or scan it and email it to holly@kuester.com. All ballots must be received by Sept 15th. The governing documents require 2/3 (67%) vote to alter the CC&Rs. That translates to 831 ballots. We currently have received only 152 signed ballots back from Moss Creek owners- a very far cry from the 831 needed to pass this amendment. By EOB Monday Sept 15th, if 831 ballots approving the amendment are not in hand, it will not pass and no change will be made to the current CC&Rs.
If the community truly wishes to amend the language in the CC&Rs regarding leasing, and the necessary ballots have not been collected by 9/15, the ballot collection process must start all over.

~ Irrigation Updates~ |
Irrigation is far and away the most frequent concern our residents voice to the management company. Moss Creek's is an extremely complex irrigation system, and when a part of it malfunctions it is critical that Kuester is informed quickly.
Remember, the HOA is only responsible for getting water to your curb. Anything beyond the curb, including timers, sprinkler heads, etc. is the responsibility of the homeowner (excluding Townhome Owners). The Irrigation Manager’s focus is on the maintenance of the common areas and making sure the system is running properly during the scheduled times and the common grounds are being watered appropriately.
Proper timer programming is crucial to the functionality of the system and it is your responsibility to make sure your timers are set correctly. The clock/timer that you have in your garage is intended to facilitate the opening of your irrigation system on your Lot to the sub main during the specified hour that the timer is set for. This time should coincide with the time that the irrigation zone you live in runs. First, make sure your timer is set properly and it still has its programming. If you are unsure about how to program your timer, check the owner's manual or consult with an independent landscaper. Many timer instruction manuals are available online.
Then, find your valve box in your yard that houses the electric valves that man your individual zones on your Lot. There will be one valve per zone in your yard. Make sure that these electric valves are all turned off. You may have your clock set, but with these valves turned in the ON position, the clock is being bypassed and not operating according to its purpose. To turn your system from manual setting to clock function, you must turn off the irrigation valves in the valve box in your yard. If the valves will not turn any further to the right, they may need to be unscrewed and rinsed out. Dirt and mulch can get inside the workings and cause them to stick open (thus allowing your system to come on anytime during the day the HOA pressurizes the sub mains at the street). Being that Moss Creek’s irrigation system uses ‘dirty’ water or unfiltered well water instead of city water, there is regular system maintenance that is required to keep your system working properly- cleaning your filter and valves. You should do this at least once or twice a season. In addition, you must make sure that your system only operates one zone in your yard at a time during the hour of scheduled irrigation. The main system is designed to provide a total of 600 gallons of water to each lawn, spread over a one-hour time frame For example, if your irrigation system has 4 zones, you will need to set your clock to run each separately -for say 15 minutes each. A good tip is to water side yard zones for less time and rotor zones longer and not to waste too much of your hour on any drip zones. Broken heads are also a cause of much water waste. Please make sure that all of your heads are in working order. A broken head can waste as many as 25 gallons per minute!
Over-watering your lawn is not only wasteful, but it can lead to diseased turf and growth of fungi. The system is equipped with turf-saturation sensors or rain sensors which will prevent the irrigation from being activated if the ground is saturated to a certain point. A ½ an inch of rain or more activates the system’s rain sensors. Do not over-compensate for a missed irrigation cycle by running multiple zones at once. This abuse of the system could cause you to lose your watering privileges or pay a fine.
The irrigation main lines and sub-mains are not usually presurized during the daytime. To test or work on your system during business hours OR TO FLAG YOU IRRIGATION HEADS FOR AERATION, fill out the Irrigation Activation Request form on this website under the Irrigation tab. Note: Irrigation inspections will be done each season. Every Homeowner must have their system running according to the Moss Creek Please see Irrigation Resolution under the Irrigation tab. Irrigation Map and run times are also linked under the Irrigation tab on this homepage. The irrigation season will end at the end of October- or as weather permits.
***************************
5/14/14- a wire shortage has caused all of Phs 2 to be shut down- Mike should be able to have it resolved Friday 4/16. 100% chance of rain predicted for Thursday.
4/14/2014- the irrigation start up has been pushed to Wed morning (4/16) earlierst (depending on how much saturation we have from impending rain tonight and Tuesday) due to unexpected failure on phs1 main controller.
8/29-9/1/2014- phase 1 pump station had a fault and shut down before completing the Friday run for all of phase 1. The technician was out yesterday and we believe the issue was addressed. Phase 1 should run tonight (9/3).
