The City of Aurora has guidelines in place for issues with sidewalks, driveway approaches, curbs and gutters. Here is a link to follow for the letter with the guidelines: https://ovha.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Sidewalk-Replacement-Criteria-2024.pdf

Here is the message received in two emails regarding updates at the golf course.

“I reached out to our Executive Director for an update, and she stated there are no solid dates yet scheduled.  Although the plan is to close the course next year and it will be shut down at one time.  The plan is also to begin construction this fall after the season ends.  Once dates are finalized communication will be given to the public and the HOA.

Thank you.”

“Just wanted you to know that Fox Valley Park District will be installing a new digital monument sign at the corner of Orchard and Galena. This  installation is scheduled for July 24, 2024. The sign will be capable of images and higher resolution.

We want to be a good neighbor and keep you and the HOA in the loop.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you”

A rather interesting arrival of our storm last night which included a tornado warning! This morning shows we did receive some damage in the neighborhood.

Have a Happy 4th of July.

However you celebrate our independence, be sure to celebrate safely.

Using the golf course for walking, jogging, biking, fishing, swimming, looking for golf balls or any other personal use is not permitted on the Orchard Valley Golf Course. Recently their have been 5 separate instances where people have been removed from the golf course. It is a safety concern and a violation of the OVHA covenants as it can interfere or be a distraction to the golfers.
