Landscaping:

Architecture Review:

Boat Storage:

•Richard Martin (chair) – reported that the committee has been following through with the boat storage area design plan. They have received a quote of $2713.00 to wash and stain the fencing. Richard felt that this was the most reasonable quote he has received and the person who does the work is very reputable and capable. The board voted unanimously to approve.

•There was a discussion of the policing of the boats in the storage area. There are still boats that are parked that have been asked to move. This creates a space issue for those neighbors who have a right to a slip. The board discussed, along with William Floyd, the legal options the homeowners’ association has in an instance such as this. The committee will investigate further and give report. There was an issue that a homeowner who sold their home gave their boat slip to the family moving in. Richard spoke with the family and explained that there is a waiting list for spaces and that you must contact him or committee member to have your name put on the list.

Amenities:

•Brent Mackie (chair) – reported about the work progressing on the possible building of a pool. The committee has looked at several options which include: clubhouse and small pool, parking lot, tennis courts, and playground. Dana Higgins will be drawing very specific plans to layout all of options. Brent is working on the financial aspect and believes the project can be accomplished by not raising dues, selling lots, or levying an assessment. He will present formal plan.

•The pool design has been discussed as to shape and entrance ways. The “L” shape was discussed as well as a “beach” entrance, which is a slight slope into pool that allows small children and those who would have trouble with ladders/stairs to enter pool safely.

•There will be a report from the real estate aspect to give input on the change, if any, to the value of our property and the appeal to prospective buyers.

Website:

•Lisa McAfee (chair) – reported that there will be new pages added to the site that will allow neighbors to post yard sales, personal items for sale, advertise businesses or help available from children(pet sitting, yard work, babysitting, etc.) and also to recommend or not a company or individual who has done work for them.

•The committee felt this addition would be a great help to our neighbors and provide a way of communication in a secure environment.

•There is also a plan to create a link to a forum page that could be used to voice opinions and give ideas on issues that affect our neighborhood. The topics would change depending on the issues at hand. This would allow chats between board members and neighbors as well as providing a voice from our neighborhood.

Budget – Treasurer not present. No changes to budget since March report except for fence expenditure.

Old Business- None

New Business- None, except as mentioned in committee reports

Meeting adjourned.
