In the next few weeks, you should expect to see some construction occurring around the Jericho Estates retention pond lasting only one, possibly two days at most. This is part of a multi-phased improvement project to keep up the common areas of the community without raising Home Owner Association (HOA) fees. The first part of this project occurred earlier this year initiated by the City of Renton when it required that all trees, shrubs, and weeds to be removed from all neighborhood retention ponds, including ours. This process was required to be done and at the cost of each individual HOA and it was completed well under costs after comparing to what many other Renton neighborhoods invested. The next part of this project is the repair / partial replacement of the retention pond fence and two gates on the west end (along Hoquiam Ave NE). After much research and viewing what other neighborhoods have used, we've decided for looks and durability to go with a commercial grade six foot chain-link fence (black rubber coat) to replace the one side facing the west that is in the greatest state of disrepair. We've decided that in order to save costs and preserve the original look of the community that the fence along the north side of the retention pond (along NE 3rd PL) will be retained and in the next phase of improvements, we'll make repairs and stain it according to Jericho Estates policies (i.e., natural stain).
The Jericho Estates HOA is working hard to make improvements and more changes are coming. If you are interested in getting involved or have questions, please drop us a line, send us an e-mail, or stop by to say hello. We appreciate feedback and support and remember that these changes are to improve the community for all of us. Thank you for your patience during this process and look for further updates as we continue to make progress.
