3. Old business:

  • 3 Ginger Root. No progress.
  • 7 Plumtree. Per report from owner, escrow on the adjacent lot should clear soon. Owner is still planning to work with the Association to bring this lot into the Association.
  • 3 Figtree. Owner still working with City. # 68 Narcissa. More progress on clean-up, but not yet complete
  • Lot and storage, 19 Sweetbay. Letter from tenant and owner received, with plan. Will get copies to each Committee member, and discuss at next meeting.
  • Letter from Greenberg, Fields, and Whitcombe, LLP. Referred to the Board at the previous meeting. Will be discussed at the Board meeting that immediately follows this meeting.
  • Response from Board letters regarding trailers, etc. 1 letter has been sent, and 5 phone calls made. One already gone, one owner reported the trailer was to be sold, two others plan to create additional screening. PB Riding Club states that they believe that they were “grandfathered” by a previous Board, and will provide us a copy of the documentation. Mrs. Petak came in with a letter proposing two alternatives; copies of the letter will be made for the Committee, a site visit will be made, and it will be discussed at a future meeting. The idea of setting a standard timeline for responses was raised, and will be discussed at a future meeting.
  • Possible unauthorized duplex. Referred to the Board at the previous meeting. Will be discussed at the Board meeting that immediately follows this meeting.

4. New business:

  • Storage, vacant lot, 4 Peppertree. Photographs appear to show a lot of trash and debris, which could be a fire hazard. A site visit will be made, and the Committee will get in touch with the owner.
  • Cars stored and parked on the street – 7 Fruitree. It was reported that a car or cars have been parked for months without being used. A letter or phone call with the owner will be undertaken.
  • Dead tree, Sweetbay and Peppertree. Determined not to be within the boundaries of the Association. Owner may be willing to share the cost of removal.
  • Old gardening containers along lower Narcissa. It was stated that these have been there for a while, and probably belong to the Wayfarer’s Chapel.

5. Audience participation: Apparently excessive speed on our roads was both discussed, and a topic of some letters / EMails. The Board is looking at this issue.

6. Adjoun: 7:55 pm. Next meeting: 4 October 2004.
