Pool Opening Info coming to Your Mailbox Soon!
Since late last year the Kitts Creek Pool Committee, Killer Whales Swim Team Board and KC Board of Directors have been planning for a safe and fun pool season in 2018. Kitts Creek is now fully built out with 845 homes. Accordingly, based on increased use and resident feedback, this year’s pool management contract significantly increases the life guard coverage at the pool. In addition, the Pool Committee, Swim Team and Board have updated the rules & services to help ensure a safe, relaxing and fun environment for all. We have worked closely with the pool management company and have also researched best practices from other pool operations. The pool opens on Saturday, May 19. Between now and then, look for further updates on hours, revised rules and improvements mailed out this week.
International Food Festival
The Kitts Creek International Food Festival was a first in 2017 but was met with such rave reviews that we’re doing it again this year! From the feedback received last year, we’re going to tweak and add to our plans for this year. Last year, the event was held inside the Clubhouse and was elbow to elbow. This year, weather permitting, we’re going to use the back parking lot of the clubhouse (near the playground) so we can spread out a bit, the kids can play, and we can all enjoy some delicious foods from around the world. And, big news for those who provide food or beverage! Last year, those who provided an item for tasting barely had time to run around and taste things for themselves. This year, all who provide an item for tasting will get a private pre-tasting before the event is open to the neighborhood! How awesome is that?! If you’re interested in participating or attending the International Food Festival, we need to get a headcount so we can plan. • Register to provide a food or beverage (you don't have to make it yourself, can be store bought) • Register to attend the event We look forward to seeing many Kitts Creek neighbors out at the food festival this year!

“Abandoned” Cars
It is not legal to store cars on public streets. Per Town ordinances, a car that is not moved for more than 7 days on a public street is considered possibly abandoned. MPD can flag these cars if they violate Town ordinances and then tow if the owner does not comply with removal. That is not new. What is new is that while the HOA cannot tow from a public street, it can fine the homeowner. If you feel there is an “abandoned” car on your street, please alert the MPD by contacting the Code Enforcement Officer John Barnard (919-463-6198,jbarnard@townofmorrisville.org) and the HOA (carlie@casnc.com) with as many details as you can. Enforcement on this requires our cooperation because we will know if a car has been left stored on our streets more quickly than MPD – Another good reason for residents to use our garages and driveways first, as is required. If you feel a car is being similarly stored in a KC parking lot, please contact Carlie. Thank you for your cooperation!
Parking Near Alleyways and Intersections
Statewide, all drivers must refrain from parking within 25 feet of any intersection. This is not new. What is new is that our alleys, exits and entrances, are now considered intersections. This means that parking directly across from an alley entrance or exit is not allowed. Parking too close to an intersection makes it difficult for cars to turn safely and often causes them to have to pull into oncoming traffic to turn. It also makes it nearly impossible for the trash trucks to maneuver. This is a $50 ticket so don’t get caught with your car too close to an intersection!
