    Homeowners who got new or replacement pool fobs after April 2018 may encounter a problem with access to the pool facility. The only way to confirm these fobs are working properly is to bring the fob to the pool and have it physically checked; the fix cannot be done remotely.

    There could be a legitimate reason as to why your fob does not work.  If you any have unpaid dues, fees or you have received a 2nd violation notice and not yet corrected the problem, your pool privileges may have been suspended. 
     
    If you believe that the above does not apply to you and your fob does not work, please contact Ardsley Management at (317) 253-1401 (8:30am-5:00pm). If fobs are lost or damaged you will be charged a $25 replacement fee.

  • chevron_rightWhat do we do about the outside solicitors coming to our houses?
    We are unable to restrict soliciting per city ordinances, however all solicitors must be licensed by the city of Noblesville and issued a permit. What this means to you is that if someone comes to your door trying to solicit something, you can ask to see their permit and if they do not have it with them ask them to leave. After they leave, you should call the police with a description of the person and tell them which way they went after they left your house.
     
    There is also a clickable link to see a list of the currently licensed solicitors,  if they are not on the list call the police and report them. 
     
     
     
     
     
  • chevron_rightWhen does my cul-de-sac get plowed?
    The City is responsible for plowing all streets in the Meadows. All streets within the Meadows are considered primary routes by the City and therefore have high priority to be cleared.  Primary routes are the highest ranking of the three classifications the City uses to determine plow routes. 

    However, cul-de-sacs are considered "alternate routes" by the City , the lowest of the three classifications, and therefore are the last streets to get plowed by the City, if at all. The greater the snowfall or more treacherous the weather conditions (icing, etc.),  the longer it will take the City to get to the alternate routes. Therefore, the Meadows POA board has contracted with a snow removal contractor to clear the cul-de-sacs when the snowfall is 4" or greater.
     
  • chevron_rightWhere and how do I pay my Dues?
    Invoices are sent out on an annual basis, all payments must be sent in the form of a check or Money order and sent to the association at the following address:      Meadows POA, 3002 East 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46220-0887

    Note: payment is considered received the date it is received in our post office box, not the day it was mailed. So when making payment, please remember to allow time for the mail to be delivered to avoid unintended late fees. Please allow for an even greater amount of time if using a third party bill payment service. 
     
    Note:   Past due Account balances not received at the MPOA mailing address by March 15th are turned over to collections.

  • chevron_rightWho do I contact if a sidewalk needs repaired?
    You should contact the Street Department which is 317-776-6348. You’ll get an automated answering menu, so just choose the operator, explain your question, and she can put you through to the right person.
     
  • chevron_rightWho do I contact about an issue with my street tree (between sidewalk and the street)?
    You would contact the city’s Urban Forester, at 317-776-6348.  Currently the City is responsible for removal and replacement of street trees, but it is basically a you-get-what-you-get, when it comes to the type of tree that the City plants.  We request specific breeds of trees as stated for the reasons below, so you can replace the tree yourself if you wish.  
     
    Due to the Japanese beetle issue with the Glens linden trees, and the potential ash borer problem with the Estates ash trees, the Board agreed unanimously to amend the street tree guidelines to allow all Meadows residents to select from the following types of trees for their street tree: linden, red maple, thornless honey locust, oak, or elm. The minimum 2* caliper requirement for any/all street tree remains in effect.
     
  • chevron_rightYard Light Info
    It is important for residents to note that it is a requirement by the City of Noblesville, as well as the MPOA’s Declaration of Restrictions and Rules & Regulations that a properly working dusk-to-dawn light must be on each lot in the Meadows. It is each homeowner’s responsibility to keep the yard light in operation at all times. Some yard lights simply require a new light bulb (white or non-colored bulbs); some just need the dusk-to-dawn sensor cleaned; while still others only need to have their GFI plug reset. If these quick cures don’t fix your lighting issue, you may need to contact a handyman or licensed electrician.
     
    Note: All yard, porch and carriage lights must have clear or white light bulbs. Colored light bulbs are not permitted. 
     
     
  • chevron_rightYard Light, Where to find replacement
    you can get a replacement yard light at Menard’s in Carmel.
