Why Such A High Electric Bill For The Community: When the developer built the community they did a contract between the HOA and CPW to pay for the lights over 10 years. After 10 years the costs drop off our bill and we will pay $0 to CPW for the street lights saving us thousands a year. Scheduled drop off of the Monthly cost is:
See applicable bylaws and Greer City codes below. The streets are owned by the city, so please report street parking violations to Greer City Police Department’s non-emergency line at 864-848-2151.
Belshire Bylaws : Street parking shall be for temporary parking only and is prohibited as a long term parking solution. The Board or its designee shall have the specific right to impose Special Individual Assessments for extended on-street parking. Special consideration may be granted by the Board for extenuating circumstances.
Greer City Sec. 86-196. - Parking to be incidental to use and operation of vehicle. No vehicle shall be parked on any street except when such parking is incidental to the use and operation of the vehicle. The storage or parking on the streets of any vehicles, by garages, dealers or other persons, when such storing or parking is not incidental to the bona fide use and operation of the vehicle is prohibited. (Code 1982, § 17-121)
Greer City Sec. 86-199. - Parking so as not to interfere with passage of vehicles. No motor vehicle shall be so parked as to interfere with the passage of any vehicle. (Code 1982, § 17-124)
Swimming Pool: The developer did not build a swimming pool nor was one included in the master plan for the subdivision. Belshire does not have the necessary site, utilities, or funds to construct a pool without a significant increase in dues for a small community like ours. No pool is planned for Belshire.
Entrance Gates: The developer did not include entrance gates in the master plan for Belshire; and, a traffic study would likely indicate the neighborhood entrances are too close to Brushy Creek and Alexander Road for gates. That said, Belshire does not have funds to investigate this issue further. What many have found in the past, communities with gates at the entrances spend more time and money keeping them working than it’s worth for a small community like ours. We are looking into a neighborhood watch program.
Pot Holes: The potholes at the entrances or on any of the street should be corrected by SCDOT and cannot be addressed directly by the board. As individual homeowners we can make requests to have them fixed here: http://dbw.scdot.org/workrequest/ in the middle of the page click on “Maintenance Item - Description” click on that to "Roadway Repair - Pothole"
