2025 Melrose HOa Annual meeting a success!
Thank you to everyone that attended the annual meeting on July 23rd. There were approximately 25 properties in attendance. The meeting covered many topics and all questions were answered. Apologies from the Melrose Board of Directors as Stacey with PMI Scioto Metro experienced unforeseen issues that delayed the start of the meeting.
With three (3) chairs open to the Board of Directors, there were five (5) homeowners that ran for said spots. After closed ballot voting, the following have been elected as Melrose Trustees thru the 2026 fiscal year:
Nick Adams
Jarod Pickett
Beth Allen
Terms & board positions will be discussed & chosen at the next monthly meeting on August 27th. As always if you have any questions\comments, please reach out to Jackson Brandel, Melrose HOA President.
Do you have a 'permit parking only' sign near your home?
Beginning the week of August 4th, the City of Pickerington will be actively in the neighborhood to seek out remedy to the 'Permit Parking Only' signs that are located along McLeod Parc\Melrose Blvd\ Dunvegan Circle. These signs served purpose in the late 1990's, however with the permanent parking additions as the PASA complex there is no longer a need for overflow parking in Melrose. These signs no longer serve purpose. The City of Pickerington will be looking to remove these signs (22 to be exact) at the request of the neighborhood homeowners.
The Melrose HOA believes the removal of these signs will create more aesthetically please curb appeal to these areas. If contacted by the City of Pickerington about removal of these signs, please tell them you are in favor of removal.
Can't make the meeting? Have a question\comment & desire to remain unanimous? The annual meeting will not adjourn until all questions have been answered to the best of our ability! All Melrose Board of Directors (5) will be in attendance as will Stacey Menefee (PMI Scioto Metro representative for the Melrose HOA).
Please note that improper maintenance to the external upkeep of your home can be viewed as a 'nuisance' & subject to violation.
Friendly Reminders:
- Maintenance: Walk around your property's exterior to identify and address any general maintenance needs, such as siding/trim repairs or painting needs.
- Pressure Washing: Ensure your home's exterior is free of dirt & mildew and consider products such as "Wet & Forget" to help prevent mildew growth after pressure washing.
- Lawn Care: Ensure lawns are maintained with reasonable grass height and weed control.
- Trim/Prune: Ensure all shrubs are pruned to a uniform, neat appearance, and tress are trimmed away from homes, sidewalks, etc.
- Mulch Beds: Ensure mulch beds are properly edged, mulched, free of weeds, and generally maintained in a neat appearance.
- Storage: Ensure items are not stored on front porches, sides of homes, or otherwise within view when not in use. Furniture designed for outdoor use is permitted; however, landscaping supplies, recreational equipment, children's toys, etc., should be stored out of view.
- Architectural Modifications: Submit an ACC Request for approval before proceeding with exterior modifications. This includes roofs, siding, doors, windows, fences, patios, paint colors, landscaping, etc.
