Beginning circa 9am on Wednesday, October 30, our contractor AlarmQuest will be in the Building 3 Common Areas to conduct our annual inspection of emergency strobes and horns. Bobby Fehribach continues as the contact person, and will accompany the tech for the duration of the test. Owner participation is not involved, nor is there any evacuation required.
PLEASE DISREGARD THE RECENT EMAIL AND HARD COPY LETTER CAPSTONE SENT TO ALL OWNERS REQUESTING ACCESS TO INDIVIDUAL UNITS. THAT COMMUNICATION WAS SENT IN ERROR.
The COA Board apologizes for any confusion and inconvenience.
Beginning this Sunday at 6 PM and extending into Monday afternoon, a number of spaces in the Upper Wachovia Parking Lot will be unavailable due to HVAC rooftop work requiring a crane.

Our community is so fortunate to be guided by this diverse, engaged, and multi-talented group of volunteers. Should you have questions, concerns, or praise on any COA-related topic, please contact the full Board at their shared email: coa@themillattarbranch.com.
New Neighbors
We welcome new Unit 217 owners Rob & Susan Arnold who are renting to Gregory Koester while they’re in Portugal. Interesting sidebar: Greg is the architect who first designed the interior of that unit for original owners Bucky & Nancy Dennis, as well as the interiors of Rick & Nola Miller’s Unit 223, and Unit 328 now owned by Patrick & Alison Turner.
Also, welcome new Unit 214 owners Garret Young & Dia St-Pierre Young who will enjoy their space when in town.
More Bins, Please
You asked and we put the wheels in motion! The city waste management folks delivered THREE additional recycling bins. Remember to break down all boxes and use all the bins to better distribute.
Additional Parking No More
Intermittently, our residents have sought overflow parking in the Tar Branch Towers surface lot across Marshall Street. Their COA Board recently discussed liability concerns and have ruled against neighbors using their spaces. Please note that violators will be towed at their own expense.
And a reminder that parking spaces in our three lots [Marshall Street, Upper Wachovia, and Lower Wachovia] are neither reserved nor assigned to any specific unit. These spaces are equally available to all residents and their guests, as well as office staff and their clients.
Vendor Directory
Thanks to Patrick Turner who has shared a Vendor Directory. You will find a link on the main menu of our website at themillattarbranch.com. Feel free to make recommendations for the list.
Tomato, Tomahto
There is a legion of volunteer tomato plants in the area next to the east brick stairs at the backside of Building 1. Once they ripen, please avail yourself of their summer goodness.
Signs of the Times
Some weeks ago, several owners in Building 3 had interactions with a trio of uninvited visitors on site. Law enforcement was called and recommended that our COA post NO TRESPASSING signs at entry points to our community so the police could take action should there be a repeat. Thank you to Barbara Fehribach [Unit 326] for taking the lead creating and strategically placing the signage.
Turn Down the Volume a Smidge
Our shared walls are not as noise proof as one might think [or hope]. Be mindful of the decibels of your various entertainment sources and adjust accordingly to avoid audio intrusion next door.
On Monday at 8am, Logan Heating and Air Conditioning will be replacing the original HVAC unit that services the Common Hallways and Foyers of Building 3. The existing unit failed several weeks ago. After soliciting responsible bids for the job, the Board awarded the project to Logan.
The work is expected to take 2 – 2.5 hours. The crane needed to access the building’s roof will occupy four parking spaces, but Logan is unsure whether those will be in the Marshall Street Lot or on Marshall Street itself.
The Millers’ cars won’t need to be moved, but we ask that other vehicles be relocated just in advance of the install and for its dutation as a precaution.
Apologies for any inconvenience as we continue to upgrade our community.
We’re happy to report that all three of our parking lots are freshly crack filled, seal coated, and striped. And they’re BEAUTIFUL!!
You may return to your usual spaces. However, in the Upper Wachovia and the Marshall Street lots, please respect the cones that are protecting spots which require a bit more air dry. All should be set by end of day tomorrow.
Due to overnight rain, Phase II of our Marshall Street and Upper Wachovia parking lot upgrades have been delayed until first thing Sunday into Monday. The crack-filling part of the project requires completely dry conditions to cure, and that’s not happening this morning.
These two lots will remain closed until Monday at 6 pm.
Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to improve our community.
Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email the Board at coa@themillattarbranch.com.
The HVAC in the Upper Elevator Foyer has been wonky for a bit, blowing very hot even when on the cool setting.
We had Reedys’ onsite this morning to diagnose the problem. Seems it’s a coil that’s leaking Freon. The part has been ordered and should be available by the end of next week.
Due to greater than expected crack filling in Phase I of our parking lot upgrades, re-entry into the Lower Wachovia Parking Lot is delayed until Friday, October 6 at noon.
This project is now being accomplished in two phases:
Phase I – Lower Wachovia Lot
Wednesday 10/4 at 7am – Thursday 10/5 at 12noon
American Spray Tech will be on site beginning this Wednesday and extending into Thursday. All asphalt cracks will be filled with a hot pour rubberized compound. Then the lot will be seal coated, and restriped.
Phase II – Marshall Street Lot + Upper Wachovia Lot
Saturday 10/7 at 7am – Sunday 10/8 at 12 noon
American Spray Tech will be back onsite beginning Saturday and extending into Sunday. All asphalt cracks will be filled with a hot pour rubberized compound. Then the lots will be seal coated, and restriped.
During the days/times indicated above for each phase as they impact you, kindly relocate your vehicles to on street parking or make other arrangements.
The Board apologizes for any inconvenience. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email the Board at coa@themillattarbranch.com.
