Homeowner Concerns

  • Shen Zhou:
    • Violations and fines are only being sent to his renters, not him as a homeowner
    • Board has gotten new address for records and will discuss waiving fees
  • Enoch:
    • Why cited for mailbox?
      • Same one that has always been up
    • Board had already decided that there would be no fine after first violation was sent
      • How come on letter was sent after email?
        • Board took no further action; any questions please contact board via website email

      • No—this has never been discussed or suggested by the board
    • Is playground being taken down?
      • Not at this time

    • Drinking at pool should not be allowed
      • At this time, there is not a rule in the written and signed pool rules saying no drinking
        • No glass bottles

    • Why did you get rid of the party supplies?
      • A pipe had burst and the supplies were wet

    • Pool was low; we filled up the pool and Proguard came out the next day
    • Water was hot so had burst the pipe
    • Proguard and health department came out and cleared pool for use; chlorinated pool
