The RCA provides curbside pick-up of brush, twigs and small yard waste generated by routine property maintenance or tree trimming done by homeowners. Yard Waste Pickup service consists of several phases and schedules, changing with the season. Announce-

ments and specific dates are posted each year.

Guidelines for Collection• Place items curbside at front of the property. Do not block mailbox,

do not place in cul-de-sacs, road, or on RCA Common Property.• Loose items and Bio Bags must be able to be handled by one

person. Items in plastic will not be picked up.• The ASC Committee must approve removal of trees larger than

4” in diameter. • Items are to be put out NO earlier than the day before your

scheduled pick-up. • We reserve the right to refuse pick-up of items that do not meet

the guidelines.

Bio Bag Pickup: Paper Yard Waste Bags (Bio Bags) must be used for loose items like leaves and clippings. Bags are available for purchase in the RCA Office for just $1, thanks to Baldwinsville Village Ace Hard-ware. Bags will be picked up throughout the season.

Pickup Day: During this time of the year pick up occurs on a speci-fied day of the week. Check the schedule for your street. If pick-up is missed due to a holiday, expect a delay for all days following. Additional details and complete season schedule can be found on our website: www.radissoncommunity.org.

Brush Trailer Service: Residents may borrow the RCA brush trailer for hauling limbs, shrubs and yard waste piles that exceed the guide-line limits, where these items were cut/handled by homeowner. Any items handled by a professional service must also be removed by that service; RCA curbside pickup and brush trailer services are strictly for homeowner generated items. Maintenance Staff will deliver the brush trailer to your driveway on the morning scheduled, you load it, and we haul it away the next morning. Call the RCA Office to make arrangements. Available on first come, first serve basis, minimum of 24 hours notice is required.

From The Executive Director Written by Lynn Tanner, CMCA, AMS

In 2015 residents were asked to par-ticipate in a

community survey to provide the Board with their input as to their desired direction of the community. A large number of Members participated, provid-ing the Board with a great deal of pertinent information. The main item that residents expressed concern about was the upkeep of the architectural standards of the community. Residents requested greater enforcement of the standards to hold prop-erty owners accountable for needed improvements.

Since this survey, the RCA Board has taken several measures to meet this objec-tive. Their first action was to approve additional staffing in the Architectural standards (AsC) department to improve the enforcement process, which includes field inspections, pro-cessing Violation Notices and assessing Fines. While the addi-tional staffing is a valuable asset in this process, another impor-tant tool to help enforce the community’s standards is the ability to assess ASC Fines, when applicable, to help encourage residents to comply.

The RCA/ASC Violation Abatement/Fine Policy (“Fine Policy”) outlines the procedure and fines applicable to property owners that are in Violation of the Architectural standards. The Fine Policy is dictated by the limits set forth in the Radisson Declaration (Article 12), based on the 1975 standards, when the declaration was initially adopted. The RCA Board dis-cussed at great lengths the fact that the fine amounts had not been increased since that time. With input from ASC, the Board determined an increase in the Fine amount was war-ranted. These changes to the Declaration may only be made via a Referendum, voted on and approved by the registered Members of the community.

In 2017, Members of the Association were asked to vote

on a Referendum presented by the RCA Board of Directors regarding the community’s ASC Fines. The Referendum included an increase in the fine amounts, as previously mentioned. it also included a new Class of Violation. This new Violation Class, Blatant disregard, was proposed as a strong deterrent to have in place to dissuade a property owner from blatantly disregarding the AsC approval process. The new fine amounts and the new Class of Violation – Blatant Disregard, were approved via the 2017 Referendum.

Before the new fine amounts and/or new Blatant Disregard Violation could be uti-lized, both needed to be incor-porated into the community’s Fine Policy. The Architectural standards Committee, Board of directors and staff worked diligently on this process over the winter months, with the revised 2018 Fine Policy being approved at the March 28th Board of directors meeting, via Resolution 994. The complete RCA/ASC Violation Abatement/Fine Policy can be viewed on our website, www.radissoncom-munity.org. To provide residents with an overview of the Fine Policy, including the different Classes of Violations, timeline and fine amounts, we’ve created a flowchart which can be found on page 3. This flowchart will also be available on our website.

in addition to reviewing and providing input regarding the Fine Policy, the AsC also dedicat-ed its time to review and update the Architectural standards Guides that residents adhere to for property modifications. At March’s Board of Directors meeting, Resolution #993 was approved by the Board to Approve the Revised ASC Sign Policy, the Architectural Standards Guidelines for Single-Family Homeowners and the Architectural Standards Guidelines for Attached Unit Homeowners. These docu-ments can also be found on our website and serve as a reference for project planning.

The Architectural standards Committee (AsC) is a group of dedicated volunteers, as well as staff liaisons, who work to protect the architectural stan-dards, integrity and harmony of the community. They meet year-round, holding two meet-ings per month from April – October. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I’d like to thank the ASC Members for their service to the community.

I think it’s safe to say that many of you have heard about and/or participated in what is commonly referred to as the Radisson Neighborhood Garage Sale, though it is not sponsored by or sanctioned by the RCA. however, not many people are aware of the history of this event. several decades ago, when the community was in its initial stages, a group of resi-dents thought it best that those interested in having a garage sale try to do so on the same weekend, to minimize traffic in the community to just one weekend a year. They settled on the Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend. A local real estate firm saw this as an opportunity to bring visitors into the commu-nity, which helped to showcase houses for sale. They sponsored the event by placing local ads to promote it, as well as provid-ing refreshments and balloons (which participating homeown-ers tied onto their mailboxes). The realty company eventually stopped sponsoring the event, but the tradition was already well ingrained in the commu-nity, and it continued.

in recent years, garage sale “day” has exploded into Friday and Saturday, with “early-bird shoppers” scoping out prospects on Thursday. The traffic has become increasingly problem-atic, causing serious safety con-cerns. in certain sections of the community, cars park on both sides of the street, many times blocking a resident’s driveway and blocking intersections. Traffic is often at a complete standstill, with law enforce-ment’s assistance required

to undo the congestion. if an emergency situation were to occur, it would be very difficult for an ambulance, firetruck or law enforcement personnel to be able to reach the person or property location quickly. School buses have also gotten caught up in the traffic jams, while try-ing to safely transport children home from school. i have also been informed that the postal service will no longer be able to adjust delivery days/ times to avoid traffic congestion. if they are not able to reach a mailbox and/or enter a road due to standstill traffic, mail delivery will be delayed until the next regular delivery day (saturday or Monday).

Although this is not an RCA sponsored event, the increased safety concerns have made it imperative that these safety issues be addressed. Recently, Board President Bill Lester and I met with Town Supervisor Joe Saraceni and representa-tives of several emergency response organizations (GBAC, Belgium-Cold Springs Fire Dept, Onondaga County Sheriff’s Dept) as well a representative of the Baldwinsville School District to discuss these safety concerns and options avail-able. it was determined that select streets, where traffic congestion has been noted as being the most serious, should be limited to one-side of the street parking on the Friday and saturday immediately preceding Mother’s Day.

As these are Town roads, this is something that can only be done with the Town’s approval. With input from all agencies noted above, the Town of Lysander Board voted to approve a No Parking Ordinance for one-side of the street for the roads listed in the Town Resolution. For a list of the streets affected, please see Page 3. We will be working with the sheriff’s dept to determine which side of the street should be deemed as No Parking. Once determined, the RCA mainte-nance staff will erect the no

Town Supervisor Saraceni recently informed me that Drakes Landing Road is sched-

uled for additional road work this year. The road will be oiled and stoned sometime this sum-mer. It will then be given a time to settle, then the street sweeper will clean up any loose stones. After that process, the road will then be fog-striped. He expects the work to be com-pleted around September.

Easter Party

With the weather fi nally warming up and the sun shining bright brings much excitement into our nursery school. The warm up in our weather has allowed our nursery school children to grab their coats and head outside for some much needed fresh air.

Our two year old classroom enjoyed listening to the sounds of nature while out on their walk. Being able to get some fresh air and see the birds fl ying about is as exciti ng for the teachers as it is for the toddlers.The children are also enjoying the comfort and play with their peers more and more.

April is such a fun month in our 3’s and 4’s classroom as we conti nue to engage and explore diff erent themes throughout the classroom.

In our 3’s classroom we have fun during constructi on week and most recently the children came into school dressed up as their favorite superhero and princess for Princess & Superhero week. This type of play allows children to use their imaginati on and express themselves in a way that is fun and safe to do. Also, theme days allow the teacher to teach a variety of skills and concepts based on the category, which helps the children make more meaningful connecti ons.

April is also when our head 3’s teacher meets with our parents for parent-teacher conferences. This ti me is always special for our staff . We are able to explain and show just how well their child has adjusted to our preschool program and the progress they have made, and conti nue to make, emoti onally and academically. We really appreciate and treasure our RNS families support.

Our 4’s students have had such a busy month with pirate day themed and most recently wild, wild west and camping theme days. during our pirate themed days, children created pirate hats in art, as well as, a pirate painti ng using their hands!!! For camping themed days the children were able to read books in a tent and tell camp stories around the “campfi re”. The children were even able to grill up some hot dogs in the 4’s play kitchen. It warms our hearts when we hear children say, “I have never been camping, but now I have.” This is the reason why we have days like this, so children can have these memorable experiences, while sti ll learning.

not let anyone enter your home, and it would be wise to keep other doors locked at the back of the house if you do decide to have a conversation with anyone. if someone is rude or pushy you are under no obligation to speak to anyone. if you feel in anyway uncomfortable or threatened, call 9-1-1. The RCA staff can NOT call in the complaint for you. The authorities will not accept 3rd party complaints. After filing a complaint, then please let the

RCA Office know so that we can notify the rest of the community as warranted.

help keep our community a safer place for you and your family!
