We the residents are the ones paying the bills and non-residents should not be allowed to take advantage of using facilities they do not want to maintain when the choose to live elsewhere.




It would be great if we could join together and be proactive and find solutions for the few negatives found in our community. I do know last summer the golf course ambassadors were required to stay until 8 or 8:30 to try and prevent non-residents using the executive courses. I'm not sure if that is still policy or not or even if it worked. As for Stonecrest residents I would think finding a way to close off the dirt path that leads from Lowe's to the medical buildings behind Country Club Hills would alleviate that problem. Perhaps a fence could be built? Hiring pool monitors would be one solution to prevent non-residents using them but that would add more labor cost. Does anyone think it would be feasible to have volunteer pool monitors? If enough people volunteer perhaps it would only mean giving one hour a week or less.

The dirt path goes both ways - probably five times as many village residents going North to Wal-Mart, Lowe's, etc as Stonecrest residents using the dirt cart trail to go South to Spanish Springs or wherever instead of driving their cars to those locations. Next, you'll want to put gates on 441, Spanish Springs, LSL, all the strip malls, etc, etc, etc. You should do the same with the State of NY to keep the non-NYer's out and stop them from using your tax paid amenities.
