Fenwick HOA is excited to open the swimming pool with the city’s Phase 3 reopening, which is projected for MONDAY, JUNE 1. Please note: If the June 1st date is delayed by the city, then the pool opening will also be delayed.

The health and safety of residents and staff are our top priority. To decrease the possibility of COVID-19 transmission, new guidelines and precautions are in place for the pool area and bathrooms.

Pool Monitors will be on site during open pool hours to check you in and confirm safety precautions and requirements are being followed. Residents are now being hired to fill these positions. Find more info here.

All members are required to sign a waiver before or on their first visit. One waiver covers all residents within your household. There are multiple ways homeowners can complete the waiver:

• • • complete and submit it online,
    • print the waiver document and bring it with you on your first visit, or
    • receive a form when you arrive at the pool.

SIX FEET: Family groups are asked to maintain a distance of six feet from other family groups while in the pool and on the pool deck.

RESIDENTS ONLY: For everyone’s safety only Fenwick residents will be allowed at the pool this summer. Please do not bring your friends and guests.

FURNITURE: Chairs and chaise lounges will not be available. You are welcome to bring your own!  If CDC guidelines require less frequent cleaning later in the season, we may provide the chaise lounges and chairs again.

TOYS: Pool toys, noodles and inflatables will not be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own! Please note: Any clothing, towels and toys remaining in the pool area at the end of the day will be thrown away.

CLEANING: High touch areas, such as pool railings, handles, doorknobs, bathrooms, etc. will be disinfected frequently throughout the day. Bathrooms will be professionally cleaned twice per day in addition to frequent disinfecting of all touch areas.

KEYCARDS: If you need your first keycard or a replacement (replacement cost: $10), download this form and come to the clubhouse at one of the following times to pick one up:

• • • Monday, June 1 from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m.
    • Tuesday, June 2 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
    • Wednesday, June 3 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Please remember that persons under 16 years of age MUST be supervised by a guardian of at least 18 years of age.

POST-MEETING UPDATE:  The commission approved the installation of a traffic light at 164th Street and Fenwick Blvd, but it may be two or three years until we see it. The City may also widen 164th Street to provide a left-turn lane.

OKC Traffic & Transportation Commission to Hear Fenwick Neighbors’ Request for Traffic Lights

Monday, March 18, 2019
1:30 p.m.
City Hall, 200 N. Walker Ave.

One of your neighbors has been working very hard to get the City to consider putting stoplights at the Fenwick entrances off NW 164th St. and off N. Pennsylvania. The city has completed the traffic study, and Fenwick is on the agenda for Monday.

The Commission will be much more likely to approve this request if a large number of Fenwick residents are in attendance at the meeting. You do not have to speak (unless you wish to). Just being there will show them that there is a lot of citizen support.

Please take an hour or so out of your day to come support this. If you’re on spring break, bring the kids! It benefits ALL residents of Fenwick!

The Traffic & Transportation Commission meets in the City Council Chambers, at City Hall, at 200 N. Walker Ave. in downtown OKC. There is paid parking on the street and in nearby garages. Or, park and take the new streetcar (take the “downtown” loop)! 

A big thanks to Keya Trout, who has been working hard with the City for months to get this study completed and hopefully the traffic lights installed. If you have any questions, you can send her a PM on Nextdoor (or join the discussion there).

It’s easy to overlook what needs some work under a layer of snow through the winter. Unless your roof is actively leaking, no one is prowling around in the frigid weather looking for things to fix.

However, when the weather starts to warm up and the sun comes out, unfortunately, is when our home’s exterior tends to look a little…sad.

You don’t need a ton of tools to make your house exterior sparkle again this spring. Simply use this checklist and a little bit of elbow grease.

In addition, just to reassure you: cleaning does make a difference. You might think your home’s exterior looks the same from year to year, but regular cleaning of even the outside of your house will help ensure it stays nice for a long time to come.

Home Exterior Spring Cleaning Checklist

Remove Debris From Your Gutters

Do you overlook your gutters? It’s a big mistake and one you should correct as soon as possible this spring.

Debris that builds up in your gutters and downspouts can seriously damage your roof if left to itself. It may cause water to back up and get into the soffit and behind you siding and walls. Further they will not function to direct water away from your foundation and may also attract animals to nest.

It can also start sprouting little plants of its own if left too long. At that point, your gutter system may end up compromised. You could end up spending a lot more money to replace it and other repairs.

Visually Inspect Your Roof From the Ground

As you are cleaning your gutters, take a visual tour of your roof from the ground. It is critical that you do not climb onto your roof due to safety reasons. Next, make a call to your roofing company for your annual inspection.

Spring is the perfect time to repair any missing or loose shingles and to have a professional get up there and make a thorough check. If you see something that looks like it needs attention soon, call a trusted roofing company right away.

Pressure Wash Your Home’s Exterior

After the gutters, this is the first thing we recommend, as it can tend to make everything else dirty as you do it, like your windows.

Pressure washing doesn’t have to be done by a professional (unless you are worried it will damage your siding or home exterior). You can rent a pressure washer for under $100 a day at your local home improvement store.

Start from the top and work your way down, washing patios and decks last. Spring is a much better time to pressure wash, as the plants in your yard are likely to be a lot smaller in spring and less likely to get in the way. Take appropriate precaution as intense high pressure can damage wood and other softer materials.

Make a note of any damaged areas on your siding or other exterior material and make plans to get repairs as needed.

Clean Your Windows

Many newer windows can be cleaned from the inside as well as the outside. However, regardless of the method, the best window washing ingredient is vinegar wiped with newspaper to avoid streaking.

Additionally, we highly recommend washing windows last. It’s not a fun job to re-do after you’ve washed your siding or cleaned your gutters.

This is also a great time to closely examine your windows to ensure there are no problems.

Yard

The yard is, of course, a whole job of work on its own. Now is the time to repair fencing, clean up your landscaping, have that pile of mulch delivered and re-paint any decking or fences that need it. Inspect your bird feeders, dog houses, sheds and anything else that was subject to the harsh winter weather.

Takeaway

Spring cleaning may not be the thing everyone looks forward to, but you have to admit it is nice to be finally being able to spend time outside again. That makes almost anything seem like a good time. Cleaning the exterior of your home is as important for its longevity as cleaning the inside. This spring cleaning checklist will help you complete the process.
