    March HOA Meeting Minutes

    March Board Meeting Minutes Now Available

    Hello Homeowners,

    We are pleased to announce that the official meeting minutes for our March HOA Directors meeting are now available. You can read the full document here: Documents Page.

    Our primary goal this year is to keep everyone more informed and aware of the business being conducted on behalf of the neighborhood. In case you don’t have time to read the full minutes, here are a few key highlights from this month’s meeting:

    • Better Communication: The Board established a strict 48-business-hour response time expectation (SLA) with CAS Management for all homeowner inquiries.
    • Violations Update: CAS is currently auditing open violations and will be required to include photos and cite specific guidelines on future notices.
    • ARC Requests: The primary method for submitting Architectural/Landscaping requests is now through the FrontSteps portal for faster processing.
    • 2026 Budget & Front Entrance: The 2026 budget has been officially ratified, and the Board is moving forward with discovery and quotes for the Front Entrance project!

    Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for helping us keep Duncan’s Ridge a great place to live!

    Thank you,
    Board of Directors

    Tassel Ridge – Meeting Minutes

    Thank you to all who attended our Neighborhood HOA meeting last night.  It was a great turnout, great questions, and a solid direction.  Please see the quick meeting notes below and join the new sub-committee if you are able.

    • HOA board presented the current plans for the new Tassel Ridge development
      • Duncans Ridge Way and Alirin Ln will be connected to the new neighborhood per Wake County laws.  These roads edge our neighborhood and will be connected
      • Gander Development has not submitted plans to Holly Springs yet for rezoning for Tassel Ridge
      • The HOA board connected with several lawyers and found blocking rezoning would be very difficult and none would take the case
      • Even if blocked from becoming part of the Town of Holly Springs, the development will still be built but with a slightly reduced house count due to septic system space requirements
      • No road changes in our neighborhood are planned by Wake County due to the increased traffic.  Replacement or top coat would only be applied as the roads degrade.
      • No plans for sidewalks and Gander is not planning to fund this
    • Neighborhood Changes
      • If current plans are approved we would expect an increase of 200-500 vehicles per day traveling through our neighborhood
      • Even with a slight road closure due to an accident last week caused a major traffic increase
      • Road safety with kids and other activities would greatly be degraded
      • Home value will be decreased due to lower home prices in Tassel Ridge.  Realtors will not provide estimates but confirmed value decrease would happen
    • Review Proposed Options
      • Even with legal action, changes such as speed bumps, cameras, and other options. our neighborhood will be changed
    • Gated community direction
      • Duncans Ridge Phase 1 was originally slated to be a gated community but was changed to public roads with Phase 2 build
      • Transitioning to a gated community will increase property values by $20,000 – $35,0000
      • Gated Community requirements
        • 100% community agreement
        • All entrances/exits must be gated but many neighborhoods leave the main gate open during the day to allow easy access for buses, deliveries, emergency vehicles, and normal traffic
        • Duncans Ridge will take over all maintenance of the roads as they become private roads. $0 cost to buy back the roads
        • A maintenance fund must be proven and funded for maintenance activities to be approved by Wake County.  HOA dues will need to be increased to cover extra costs.
        • Tassel Ridge would then be forced to have access to Duncan Cook Rd for all houses.  Roads may still be connected to our neighborhood but will be gated
        • Our vehicles would have transponders to open gates automatically as needed
        • Emergency vehicles would also have easy access as needed so as not to degrade response times
        • Main gate(s) will also have 24/7 remotely managed controls with audio/video surveillance when gates are closed
        • This is the ONLY way to maintain our neighborhood safety, value, and mitigate traffic concerns
        • Time is of the essence – If Tassel Ridge development gets approved in its current form before we apply for private community change, the Tassel Ridge will have access through our neighborhood

    A sub-committee is being formed to continue research and community involvement.  We are looking for individuals of all types to help as time is of the essence.

    Please see the sign-up link below.  This sub-committee will be started ASAP.

    Tassel Ridge – Planning Board Meeting

    According to the Holly Springs Town Clerk and as of right now Tassel Ridge Sauls North is currently in scoping. They have not submitted a Development Plan or Rezoning request, so it is not currently scheduled to go before Planning Board.

    We can go here: https://www.hollyspringsnc.gov/2128/Agendas-Minutes-Videos, to view the planning board agendas that are coming up to find out when Tassel Ridge will be on the agenda so we can attend.

    Tampering and Vandalism in the Community

    Duncan’s Ridge has been experiencing a number of issues due to tampering and vandalism. Multiple times over the last 2 months the entrance uplighting has been found to have been pulled out of the ground. It appears Golf carts and automobiles have spun their tires on the HOA maintained grounds and the sprinkler system water supply has been repeatedly cut-off.

    This is costing the HOA, collectively, money to repair and is occurring with enough frequency and damage for the authorities to now become involved.

    We are asking for your help in this matter. Please be observant and if you are aware of any tampering and/or vandalism being committed, bring it to the attention of the authorities and Board at your earliest opportunity. Thank you in advance for all your help in preserving and maintaining our community entrance and equipment as it makes the first impression of Duncan’s Ridge as positive and favorable as possible.
