Long Range Planning Committee (continued)
LRPC is actively researching alternate access/egress to both the north and south sides of the community. These routes would be available in instances when access from the main gate is obstructed or we need a second route made available for evacuation. Sites have been identified; however, town, county, and state officials all need to weigh in on the matter. They are looking into having a cell tower placed within the Rose Hill community. There are many regulatory hoops to jump through and we are hopeful that the placement of a tower will be approved so that Rose Hill will benefit not only from better cellular service, but an additional annual revenue stream.
LRPC has also met with several site planners/landscape architects to discuss enhancing our amenities to include the relocation of the pickleball courts, the addition of a small fitness center, basketball court, dog park, additional playground, and a community garden - all of which have been requested directly by residents via Satisfaction Surveys.
We are also researching the dredging of our deep-water channel and the viability of adding Top Tracer to our driving range sometime in the future. Rest assured that the Rose Hill community will be consulted before any recommendations are made to the Board.
Rose Hill Website Update:
Our Office Manager, Caroline Adams, has assembled a team of Communication and Social Committee members to assist with the undertaking of overhauling our website to a new platform. We have engaged NABR Network, a leading communication and software system built for community association management companies and neighborhood associations. This company is highly focused on POA communication automation, self-service features for homeowners, accounting integration, and great user experiences for managers and residents.
Nabr Network will offer the ability to set up reservation systems for our amenities, an App for your phone, accept online payments, allow residents to view their account summary and so much more. Residents will be able to select which emails they want to receive (i.e. Social, Property, etc) as well as the frequency (immediate, daily, weekly). Because it integrates with our primary financial system this reduces the number of touches required by the office staff and provides updated information in a timely manner.
The platform also offers a customer service line for residents to reach out to for support. This platform has many layers that we will be able to roll out over time. In moving in this direction the POA will be able to significantly reduce many costs such as postage and printing and eliminate other systems that overlap with Nabr Network.

Polo is Back!!!
We are all very pleased to have Polo back in Rose Hill this year! A big THANKS to the Equestrian Club, for hosting the 2023 Spring Charity Polo Classic held on Sunday, April 2nd. The event was well attended and enjoyed by both Rose Hill residents, area guests, and equestrian enthusiasts. The event benefited several very worthy causes. Family Promise, Parkinson’s Foundation - Carolina Chapter, Caring Neighbors, and Saint Gregory the Great & John Paul II Catholic Schools.
Easter Egg Hunt
Another special event to kick off spring in our community was the Easter Egg Hunt held on April 1st on the grounds of the beautiful Rose Hill landmark, the Mansion at Rose Hill. Thank you to owner Steven Stempel for hosting and to our amazing Social Committee for organizing this fun day for our families.
I always look forward to the natural beauty this time of year brings to Rose Hill as new leaves and blossoms burst open.
Happy Spring to All, Crystal Higginbotham

Colleton Point is moving along per schedule with a completion date of June/July. Demolition and foundation work has been completed. Framing is near completion with window installation and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) rough-in scheduled for this month. Also scheduled this month is decking and siding work. Interior work that includes drywall, interior electrical, door hardware, and all other finishes are on track for April.
Pool Renovation and fencing
Colleton Pool renovations are complete. The renovation included plastering, new waterline tiles, paver coping and decking pavers. The POA also replaced the old fences at Colleton and Wood Eden pools with black aluminum fencing consistent with Willow pool fencing. In addition, Wood Eden pool received additional concrete decking, replacing the grass/dirt areas.
Sinkholes
The sinks holes at Golf Hole #3 and #13 along with the drainage inlet box on Fairway, have been repaired. The work included pipe patching and joint banding on #3, pipe replacement (50ft) on #13, and pipe patching on Fairway.
Drainage
The new 24” pipe project for Wood Eden is in the permitting phase with BJWSA. This project consists of adding 350’ of 24” RPC (concrete) pipe to an existing junction box, running underground to the existing water canal that goes under Hwy 278.
