Hello Trailhead Residents,
Spring has sprung!
Please mark your calendar for the annual meeting – (due to the ongoing Berea Library renovations) – The Annual Trailhead Village HOA meeting will be Tuesday , June 12, 6:30 p.m., at the North Olmsted Library, (large room), 27403 Lorain Road, North Olmsted, Ohio 44070.
Every year we have a board member who rotates off the board after serving a three (3) year term. This makes room for a different resident to be elected to the board. The election happens at the annual meeting in June. Any resident whose name is on the deed of their home is eligible for election, one person per household. If you are interested in joining or would like more information, please contact the board. Working on the board is a great opportunity to meet and interact with the entire community as well as a chance to help manage the community. If you are interested in running, please let the board know by May 9, 2018
We thought we would share some history about the planning for Trailhead Village, courtesy of Joan O’Malley.
Phase I of the site consists of an 8.35 acre parcel presently being utilized as a riding stable at 410 Barrett Road. The site contained two homes, a large horse barn, and two garages or outbuildings. The site is bordered on the southerly side by Barrett Road. On the Westerly side by a residential dwelling (440 Barrett Road) and vacant wooded land behind which was to be Phase II of this proposal. The Cleveland Metro Parks (Rocky River reservation) abuts the Easterly side of the site and the southerly side of the site is adjacent to the City of Berea Service Facility.
If you would be interested in more background about Trailhead Village, please contact the board and we will pass your request on to Joan.
