Attached is an email from Sgt. Colin Gallagher of the WPD
describing the three men suspected of burglarizing homes. If you
see any of these men lurking around please call 911 to report
suspicious activity.
AN APPEAL FOR CURB APPEAL
Submitted by: The Legacy Board One of the most important factors in a Buyer’s selection of a new home is curb appeal.
A home with curb appeal gets noticed, sells more quickly and for a higher price
than a home without curb appeal. However, even the most attractive single home,
among other homes lacking curb appeal will not fare well in the marketplace.
Few things detract more from the curb appeal of a home, or neighborhood, than the
sight of plastic trash carts or trash.

The Legacy Board is concerned that curb appeal
in our neighborhood has been hurt by the storage of trash carts and trash in front
of or at the sides of homes, and visible to street traffic. Enhancing curb appeal
by storing trash and trash containers in enclosed areas helps to promote home sales
and maintain property values for the neighborhood. The Legacy Board is asking residents to
work together to enhance the appearance of the neighborhood, and maintain an attractive
environment. This will aid those selling homes now, whose selling prices will become the
comps and basis for valuing homes offered in the future. To this end, the Legacy Board
asks that, except on pickup day, all trash and trash containers be kept inside garages,
or within privacy fenced trash container storage areas.
Most Rocky Creek Legacy homeowners have and use space in their garages to store trash
containers. For garage storage, taller versions of the trash containers, available from
both Waste Management and Waste Connections, may be preferable to the metal framed
“bucket” carts. The taller carts have a smaller footprint, and have lids that seal to
contain trash odors. The Legacy Board will approve, on an expedited basis, the
construction of small (approximately 4’ x 6’) cedar privacy fenced areas along the
sides of garages, set back approximately five to ten feet from the garage front. Examples
of these fenced areas can be seen at 1720 Rocky Glen and 1724 Rocky Glen.
Garage or privacy fenced storage of trash containers will greatly improve the appearance
of the Rocky Creek Legacy area, enhance curb appeal, and preserve the values of our homes.
The support and cooperation of all Rocky Creek Legacy homeowners in this effort is appreciated.

TOTO is Back!

Thanks to Roger Bennett for having the Dog Statue
fixed. Roger had Randy of Wichita Area Technical College (WATC) weld Toto back together.
This was a considerable amount of work. The leg had to be
repaired, then the base removed from the existing concrete and
the whole assembly re-installed.
Thanks guys the neighborhood really appreciate it!
See Toto
RC Well is Dry! Read Artical
We are no longer able
to irrigate just north of 13th; without risking
damaging the pump. Harp Well is drilling a new well, in hops to
support the south side of Rocky Creek. The alternative would be adding a city meter
and converting over to city water use. Upfront cost to have a meter
added could be as much as $8,000 for the meter and another $2000-$3000
for conversion. Not sure what the monthly cost of water would be. |
