Banyan Hills Neighborhood

Banyan Hills Fall 2022 Newsletter

Current Contact Information for ALL our residents is imperative! Please email or text your name(s), address, phone and email ASAP to Amber Goetsch at amberbgoetsch@gmail.com or 402-612-0346 so you may be included in the 2023 Edition of the Banyan Hills Neighborhood Directory. When we don’t have your phone number, we can’t call to tell you left your garage door open, or if a raccoon is setting up housekeeping under your deck. Even if your contact information has not changed, please contact Amber so she can verify she has your current information.

Board Members & Volunteers Needed! The Banyan Hills Homeowners Association has operated with minimal volunteers for many years. We really need NEW members to serve on the board, the architectural committee, and more residents volunteering for simple projects. Responsibilities are generally minimal. The City of Omaha even provides FREE dumper trucks in the Spring & Fall for Neighborhood Clean-up Day! Unfortunately, nobody is willing to volunteer, so we only participate in the Spring event. Please contact Doug Horner to find out more about how you can contribute.

Electrical Power to the Entryway – Unfortunately, the entryway to Banyan Hills located at 173rd and Pacific has been without power for the past year. That little island greets our guests and families, as well as prospective new homeowners. It’s in the best interest of all homeowners to keep it looking great. The electrical wire below the street is broken and the Homeowners Association is responsible for locating the break, pulling up that part of the street, and making the repairs at considerable expense. As a result, we will not have holiday lights this year. However, we are currently researching ways of lighting up the entryway without breaking the bank.

Exterior Improvements such as new paint, fences, roofs, and siding must be pre-approved by the Architectural Committee – Doug Horner or Terry Murphy. For many of us, our homes are our most valuable assets. It is the responsibility of every homeowner to maintain your home and yard to protect your investment and that of your neighbors. Please contact a board member if you have questions about maintaining your property, or if you have a child who would like to earn some extra money mowing.

Mailbox Renovation Project – over the past several months ALL mailboxes and posts in our neighborhood have either been replaced or refurbished. Thank you to Mike Sandoval who worked closely with a private contractor to accomplish this project in a timely manner. Please contact Mike Sandoval at 402-614-2980 if your mailbox requires repairs or replacement in the future.

We have a lovely neighborhood that has generally been well maintained. Our schools are among the best in Nebraska, and you can walk to the grocery or even the hospital if you are able. Let’s keep things looking great and please consider volunteering to keep Banyan Hills a safe and attractive place to live.
