RECREATION REPORT – Nancy Krueger
Nancy thanked Mark Bunger for cleaning the pool regularly and reiterated the need to train lifeguards next season to take over that recurring obligation. She further described the plan set up for pest control around the pool and surrounding grounds, stating that we have contracted for service every two months.
MAINTENANCE REPORT – Mark Bunger
Mark stated he will stain the pool deck later in September and that The Watermill will manage winterization of the swimming pool. The advantages and drawbacks of leaving the pool cover in place over winter were discussed and it was agreed there were greater benefits to leaving it on.
ARCHITECTURE REPORT – Kay Gordon
Kay reported there is one ongoing problem involving storage of a disabled vehicle in the homeowner’s driveway. The previously reported screening fence of another homeowner has been constructed, with work on an additional exterior enhancement to be completed by the end of September.
For the record, a potential homebuyer contacted the Board with questions regarding the acceptable guidelines for a small daycare business in the community. Many questions were posed to her in response and all answers were deemed acceptable to the Board.
NEW BUSINESS
The need for the three year review of Mar Cheri Covenants and Restrictions (By-laws) was discussed. Please contact any Board member if you wish to serve on this committee, or have any suggestions for change.
