While driving through Old Towne on this sunny Saturday morning, it is clear that many owners take pride in caring for their unit. With a camera always in my car (for those unexpected grandchildren moments), I had to stop and take this picture. Thank you to so many who take pride to beautify this complex.

Taking Pride in Old Towne

It's Hard to Say Goodbye to Great People
It is always difficult to say goodbye to great people. These are the people that not only contribute to your success, but more importantly make everyone's work fulfilling and enjoyable.
With great sadness, we are saying goodbye to our property manager at Palmer, Jennifer Fontanella-Robinson. Although Jennifer was in charge of several large condominium complexes along with Old Towne, she was adept at negotiating with all our contractual vendors, investigating and resolving complaints from unit owners to determine that services and/or maintenance were properly provided, and her diligence ensured that our complex was safe, properly maintained and your major investment in Old Towne was secure. This was accomplished with Jennifer's pleasant personality and genuine concern for everyone at Old Towne.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we will miss her greatly, but wish her happiness and success for her future.
I have posted Jennifer's letter to the Board below:
Dear David, Gail, Jan, Adrienne & Kinsey,
Leaving a job is part of the work world as is people's lives taking a different turn. As I mentioned at the September 8 board meeting, I will be relocating out of state as my husband begins his new business partnership. However, that makes it no less easy to say goodbye to individuals I have worked closely with for the past two years.
I have so much enjoyed working with the Board of Directors at Old Towne. Your commitment, dedication, and hard work for all unit owners has made my job so much easier. I have enjoyed my tenure here and I appreciate having the opportunity to work with you and everyone else at Old Towne Condominiums.
Thank you for your support, guidance and encouragement you have provided me during the last two years as your Property Manager. It truly has been a pleasure working with you and everyone else at Old Towne Condominiums.
Yours Truly, Jennifer

Updates on This & That
Decks
#58 has been completed and approved by the town building inspector.
#143 & #145 are currently being repaired
#139 and #141 should be completed by the end of September.
Chimney Caps
The board voted to conduct an inspection by Deans Stove and Spa and it was determined that many of the chimneys were not installed according to code and the wood around the chase was too close creating a fire hazard.
Garage Doors and/or Panels [for units painted this spring]
During the painting process, it was determined that 11 units need panel replacement for garage doors. Some unit owners opted to have the entire garage door replace. There are 3 doors that have to be replace with an estimated installation date of September 11 and an estimated timeframe to finish painting all doors on/or before September 25.
Pool Lighting
The exterior light over the pool door has been upgraded from 75 to 150 watts. The pole lighting should be completed on/before September 18,
Gutters
As you know, we ran a trial on units having gutters near tree lines or based on repetitive work orders and installed “Gutter Filter”. We have not received any negative comments and are now reviewing all units in Old Towne. Please contact Palmer Property if you have additional comments.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
We have received a second letter from the Town of Cheshire regarding a unit owner disposing of paint in the weekly trash pick-up. We, again, have been advised that damage to the trash vehicle, town roads, or town right of ways will be borne by unit owners.
Vehicles Cutting Through/Speeding on Old Towne Road
School has begun and we are receiving complaints of vehicle cutting through Old Towne. We will, once again, be addressing this issue with Cheshire Police Department. However, for those of us at the Wallingford Rd. entrance, it is sometimes easy to see a vehicle enter and continue through only to exit on Route 10 and then on to the highschool. If you find your self in that situation, attempt to take down the marker number and report it to David Maddern or Gail Egan. We will utilize that information when speaking with CPD.
