- Homeowner Dwight M: question: Is there a policy or guidelines for RV parking in driveways? He suggested a 3 day limit for RV’s, boats and trailers when parked in driveways. There has been guidance developed in the past. The board will research and respond.
- Homeowner Dwight M: asked again about the tree on the edge of the small lake behind his house. He sent a written request to the board several weeks ago asking for an arborist to look at the tree he believes should be removed. After looking at the tree, the board responded that if it fell it would most likely fall into the lake and did not present a danger to property, nor does not seem likely to fall as it is well rooted. For this reason the board decided not to spend money to hire an arborist to look at it. He wrote back disagreeing with the board’s decision. The board closed the matter. After asking the same question again at tonight’s meeting, the board reiterated it’s decision and that the matter is closed. He said he would hire an arborist at his expense to look at the tree.
7) Next BoD Meeting: Wednesday January 13th, 2021.
8) Motion to Adjourn Regular Meeting; seconded and approved.
