Orange Hunt Pool Cell Tower Information
The OHECA Board of Directors has been made aware that two of our area pools, Cottontail and Orange Hunt, are talking with T-Mobile in reference to installation of cell phone towers.
Based on information provided to the OHECA Board, the primary purpose of the towers is to replace declining income and rising expense necessary to maintain the condition of the pools.
Residents opposed to the cell phone towers are apprehensive about potential health consequences and property values.
Appropriate hearings will be held by the County of Fairfax to review the request. OHECA will attempt to provide these dates to the membership when available.
The OHECA Board maintains a neutral position on this issue, but expresses concern about the welfare of our residents and community pools.

Pohick Library Needs Green Thumbs
On behalf of Pohick Regional Library I am looking for a neighborhood garden club and wonder if OH has such. The library has had volunteers garden its grounds for 20 years. We are almost without any volunteers and would welcome either a club taking on the remaining smallish areas of "garden" or, simply some garden volunteers. Would you be so kind as to pass this request on to such a group? Anyone can contact the Library, directly, or contact me, Karen Knopes, currently "chief" gardener. Thanks.
Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs...
Signs are not permitted on the Orange Hunt Estates property.
Questions? Review Virginia Code Chapter 7, title 33.1
Our community has recently experienced a growth in realtor and association signs that are not permitted. They are distracting to drivers and do not promote a warm and friendly family oriented environment for our housing development. Thank you for your help in keeping our community clean and safe.
No traffic calming on Cottontail Ct.
Residents in the Cottontail Court ballot area voted not to approve the installation of speed humps on Cottontail. See the Aug./Sept. OHECA newsletter for details.
