Maintenance/Pool: Ken Schiewetz (acting chairperson)
Ken reported that the pool is closed for the season. He extended his gratitude for the work that all the volunteers did to make the season successful. Special thanks go to Neal Tripp, and James Rolf for their work in coordinating and performing much of the maintenance themselves. Heather Pierce did an outstanding job with the keycards for the entry gate. She became an expert at troubleshooting problems, and being flexible with her own schedule to meet with property owners to update their paperwork, and then activate their cards. The amazing commitment that the volunteers who opened, closed and maintained the pool house cannot be overstated; thank you one and all.
The pool is in off season mode with the garbage collection on hold, the pool service down to maintenance level, and preparations made for the storage of the furniture and the winterizing of the pool house.
Architecture: Ken Schiewetz ( acting chairperson)
Ken reported that over the past month 25 violation notices were issued to property owners in the community. As of today 14 violations have been resolved/completed. There are 11 outstanding. There were violation notices sent for lack of maintenance on structures, overgrowth of brush, weeds, lawns or trees, as well as refuse containers not being hidden from street view. In addition to the 25 violation notices, there were warning letters sent for trees interfering with views and a boat parked in a yard behind a fence.
In the coming days, a letter will be sent out to those property owners, who are still not in compliance, outlining the next steps to be taken, including fines.There is no news on the status of the road repairs to the area affected by the water main break. Ken will contact Lakehaven Utilities to learn more.
