Barrington Ridge HOA

The back corner markers have been put in place on our lots now. You can take a string from your lot line at the street and connect it to the stake in the back and know exactly where your property line is. You can also run a string connecting your back marker stakes to see where the back of your property is. Please take a good look at your property lines and make sure that all plantings, decorations, sprinkler systems and fencing that belongs to you are actually on your property! If not, please make the necessary corrections to see that your possessions are on your property. Some owners were concerned that sprinkler systems and water lines from sump pumps belonging to their neighbors were actually on their property. With these markers in place, there is no doubt where the lines are, so please correct any problems as quickly as possible. If you still feel that someone else is on your property instead of their own and they don't correct the matter, please contact Terry at Hunter Residential and he will look into the matter for you.

Beside each wooden stake, a metal stake has been driven into the ground and a yellow plastic cap placed on the top for easy visibility. That is your corner marker and they will not be removed. The wooden stakes will be left for a couple of weeks so owners have plenty of time to be sure their property is on their lot and then we will have the stakes taken down. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Terry at Hunter Residential.

We have had several complaints about cars parking on our streets that are blocking driveways, and causing visibility issues at intersections so we called on the Kansas City Street and Traffic Division to come out and make recommendations for what we could do to help eliminate this problem. As we advised all of the homeowners in a recent letter, he stated that we should simply call the police and ask them to come out and patrol the area because there are very few spaces in our development that cars can be legally parked. He advised that the police department would be happy to issue tickets for the violations. Cars are not allowed to park within 5 feet of any driveway or 30 feet from an intersection. There are only 2 spaces in the development where a car can park on the street. In addition, he pointed out that it is illegal to park a car in your driveway across the sidewalk. Everyone has had time to make arrangements to park your cars legally so the police department is going to be contacted and asked to come out and start issuing citations to any vehicles still being parked illegally. Please be sure any guests you invite to your home are aware of these laws.
