Southern Village HOA

Dear Residents,

It is too often that we talk or think about getting something done, but then time passes, distractions interfere and before long the idea has vanished.  I am glad that Susan Duke did not allow this to happen when she proposed a Southern Village Welcoming Group to the HOA Board.

Susan and her committee, Sue Goloboy, Tiffany Allen, Mary Wrighton, and Hazel Zweig now welcome new neighbors to Southern Village with custom bags full of Market Street merchants’ wares.  They just hosted their Second Meet & Greet and have a third planned in December.  It was a lovely event and a wonderful time had by all of the 22+ new members.  They certainly seemed to enjoy meeting and getting to know one another!
Southern Village truly needed such a group for newcomers to feel welcome and to be properly greeted!  Thanks to all five ladies for making this happen and to the HOA Board for their support of this wonderful endeavor.

For more information and to get involved please visit Facebook, A Southern Village Welcome (Chapel Hill, NC).  This site is not only a great resource for those new to the community but also for those of us who would like to learn more about what is going on locally.

In addition, please feel free to join the Southern Village Voice Yahoo! Group.  A great way to connect, to find babysitters, household items to buy or sell, trusted vendors, etc.!
So to get started.  Visit southernvillage_voice now.

I have been approached by residents, who have moved here from other areas and they have shared events or traditions that they have enjoyed that they would like to carry forward to Southern Village.  If you have such an interest or a tradition you would like to see Southern Village adopt please let me know.  If we are able to get a planning group together, with the Board’s support we can make it a reality!

As we strive to improve the communication within the Village we ask that you work with us.  Express your concerns or better yet if you see something positive that you would like to comment on we certainly  welcome that too!

The Board is comprised of volunteers.  We serve on this Board to work with Berkeley Management to maintain and to enhance the sense of neighborhood and community that we all enjoy.  Thank you.

Warm Regards,

Mary Jo Coppola

The Southern Village Homeowners Association Board of Directors  has contracted with Asphalt Enterprises to repair a number of places on the alleys.  Scott Richards, owner of the company, has inspected the community and has listed the major problem areas.  He has identified these areas on the maps that are posted below and has marked them with a yellow pin.

The work is scheduled for the following dates: August 28, 29, 31 and September 4, 5.  Trash and recycle days have been omitted from the schedule.  The work will start at the entrance to Arlen Park and continue throughout Southern Village as shown by the sequence of the maps.  If you live on an alley, you need to be prepared to have your alley repaired on any one of these days.  You may have to exit and enter your alley from a different route but no alleys will be closed completely.

Unless rain is expected to be a day-long event, Scott reports that the crew will work daily until the job is complete.

Please contact the Berkeley Property Management Office Manager at 919-960-2836 or officemanager@berkeleychapelhill.com if you have any questions.
