Board Notes 7/22/03

Posted in: Country Club Place
ARB & Grounds Committees

ARB:
Deb Stricklin-Hefner reported:

1. ARB Activity ?– 3 fences, two 4-foot ones and one 6-foot one (within the home?’s envelope) have been approved, as well at four decks and one swing set. One requesting the planting of a privacy shrub was denied.

2. Additional Member ?– The committee is still seeking an additional person from Turnberry so anyone willing to serve in this way please contact Deb. (It should be noted in response to a query that Deb does not serve on the ARB as this would be in violation of the By-Laws. She is only the Board?’s liaison to the Committee.)



Grounds:
Jeanne Gullion reported:

1. Mulch ?– Since the area looks acceptable, the ten yards of mulch to be delivered to the common area along Clubside Place (between Carlow Circle and Heathery Place) has been postponed until next Spring in agreement with the adjacent homeowner.

2. Dead Tree -- The dead tree at the corner of Inishmore Way and Clubside will be removed by residents, thereby saving considerable expense should it have been done by landscapers.

3. Dead Shrub Replacement ?– No dead shrubs that have been removed are to be replaced, especially since the growth of the surrounding shrubs have filled in the vacant spaces.

4. Street Cleaning ?– In response to an inquiry, the City does the street cleaning, so this is at no cost to our association. In light that some streets were not cleaned, Tricia Edwards will pursue making sure the City is aware that these are their responsibility now.

5. Excessive Trash ?– It seems as if the trash along Clubside has increased lately. Tricia indicated that the cause could be that MMC has recently changed the day their maintenance man is in the area from Monday to Friday, and he generally picked up trash after the normal trash collection. She will see if his schedule can be changed back.

6. Landscape Lights ?– MMC is responsible to maintain the landscape lights, so all residents should inform her should they notice any not lit at night.

Old & New Business

Old Business:

1. Yard Sign Petition ?– Wording has been accepted by the Board and will be published in the upcoming Newsletter, but it still must pass legal requirements. Hopefully, it will be an item on the agenda at the upcoming Neighborhood Meeting on September 17, 2003.

2. Basketball Goals ?– It was agreed that the covenants do not permit any type of basketball goals to be placed or maintained in the front driveway (they may be adjacent to, however) or street right-of-way. A reminder will be placed in the upcoming Newsletter. After that all persons in violation of the covenant will be so informed. Basketball goals, including permanent ones are permitted in the back yard of any lot.

3. Consideration on becoming a Town ?– Still pursing more information on this topic.

4. Welcoming New Residents ?– A combined letter from both MMC and CCPHOA will be sent. It will have information on the monthly fee and how it can be paid, the Covenants and Restrictions, the ARB, the Homeowner Meetings, the Information Boxes, the Internet Home Page, the Swimming Pool, Neighborhood Crimewatch (possibly including their Block Captain?’s name), the Community Garage Sale, Trash Collection, and Snow Removal. In addition it will list the current Board of Directors and Tricia Edwards.

5. Walking/Fitness Trail ?– Information is still being pursued regarding getting a grant for this project.


New Business:

1. Pool Chairs and Tables:
Deb Stricklin-Hefner reported that we are in need of at least one new table and two umbrellas for the pool area. The Pool Committee will be seeking ''summer sales'' of these items at local merchants in hopes of saving money as they are maintained and replaced.

2. Children?’s Playground:
Attention has been raised regarding the current Children?’s Playground by the Pool and its inadequacies. Activity is beginning regarding the possibility of adding to what is there instead of replacing since it would be easy to spend upwards of $15,000 for a new facility. Likewise, grant money will be pursued. Tricia will report on these items at the next meeting. A resident has already volunteered to assist with any effort.


The meeting was adjourned by President Paul Woods at 9:22.M. The next scheduled Board Meeting will be August 26 at the home of Dick Lewis.

Respectfully submitted,
Richard Lewis, Secretary
