Questions
- Where does Chris go when JMC finishes the Town Center? Chris will be here until the end of 2026, at which point someone will be hired to lease the commercial spaces. Lauren will be here through most of 2026, as well.
- What is the connection between the neighborhood and the Town Center? None, these are separate associations. However, Shannon Jones manages both.
- Do homeowners have to get approval to make changes to the front yard? Depends on the changes.
- What are the repercussions for someone jumping the pool fence and getting hurt and drowning? They are trespassing at that point, we are protected. We have cameras to help us identify people and violations.
- Who is responsible for the ruts caused by Willow Tree by the gardens? We made a mistake allowing them to store equipment back there, but we’d ask Willow Tree to help with repairs.
- Can you ask the cleaners to clean spider webs out from under the pavilion furniture? Yes.
- Should we confront people who we think don’t belong in our amenities? The Board does not recommend it but it is within your rights to do so. After hours should be directed to the Clemson Police, and you should also notify Shannon.
- If you call the police with an anonymous complaint, they may want to follow up with someone, who should they call? Give the police Shannon’s contact info.
- What kind of quality of work has been conveyed to The Greenery? We had thorough discussions with them about what the residents of Patrick Square expect, and we are encouraged that there will be improvement.
- When the Board is made up of homeowners, can we budget to fix the landscaping in the Anna Maria islands to look like Thomas Green? No. The approved planned development does not indicate that these islands would be alike. Anna Maria was meant to remain in a natural state, much like the space between Poe and Snider. Grass won’t properly grow on Anna Maria without irrigation, and irrigation is out of the budget at this time.
- Are there any plans to improve the landscaping between the townhomes and house on Tuttle? Yes. JMC had received plans and will pay for them, work has not been scheduled at this time.
- Will homeowners be fined for work they completed without approval? At this time, there are no plans to retroactively fine anyone.
- Are the 3 empty lots going to be required to build at some point? We have been in touch with all 3, one does not plan to build but we have required them to install the sidewalk. The other 2 plan to build but do not have a schedule yet.
- Can homeowners plant things in the common areas to beautify? No, common areas are the association property.
- Can we pay more to get more landscaping services? Yes, if that’s what the association wants to do.
