OLD BUSINESS
Dues payments from 9 homeowners
have been received since the October meeting.
A discussion began regarding
copies of the Bylaws. To help offset the cost of copies, it was agreed that
residents requesting copies would be required to pay $2 per copy. New residents
will still be offered a complimentary copy by the Welcome Committee when they
first move in. Additional copies may be purchased for $2 each.
A discussion
regarding debris and garbage in the road near the community entrance.
The debris, sand and garbage appears to be blown from
the grass by the company cutting the grass for the association. Some felt the
company should pick up the grass. The first ARC member (has since moved away)
used to voluntarily keep the front area picked up. The search for a replacement
lawn company has been slow. The next lawn payment is in early
January that
covers 3 months. Tom will try to get bids from prospective lawn
companies. Roberto will try contacting a local landscaper he is aware of for a
possible bid. The price for cutting and trimming the community owned grass
increased from $270 every 3 months to $375 every 3 months after the company
indicated they had to charge more for trimming the newly installed sidewalks
and for an increase in the cost of fuel. The discussion
also
included concern that the sod between the sidewalk near the entrance sign may
be deteriorating. Sand appears to be eroding into the street. It was decided
that the County would be responsible for its replacement should that be
required.
A homeowner on Peachwood
assured the hoa that he/she had paid dues. We need to
send a letter to the homeowner requesting a photocopy of the cancelled check.
A parking problem is ongoing on Lakemont Hills. A vehicle is parked on the lawn in front of
the fire hydrant that is in front of the residence. At this residence another
vehicle is parked on the driveway near the street. This blocks access to the
hydrant. It was a concern especially since during the winter months
homes use fireplaces and are at greater risk for needing fire department
services. We need to contact the authorities about this problem. It was
mentioned that perhaps the homeowner needs additional parking space. One
suggestion is for the homeowner to add a pad adjacent to and attached to the driveway.
Such pad would extend toward the center of the property, not extending the side
of the driveway that would encroach on the neighbor.
A discussion was made regarding placing a portion of our funds in a cd in the association's bank. The accountant had been consulted who indicated it was advantageous. The board approved this measure. The board will be depositing funds into a cd at the association bank.
