Old Business
Sidewalks
- There are 64 units with 128 homeowner sidewalks. The repairs will begin with the Mermaid and Crittenden public sidewalks will be completed first including the tree in front of Mermaid lot.
Landscaping
- Mulch: It has been brought to our attention that not everyone likes mulch . An email will be sent to all owners giving them the opportunity to accept or decline mulch. You must respond to Morgan @Onyx by the deadline.
- A homeowner inquired about the flower box in Cresheim. It is now a trash can. There is also a bush that is an eyesore. The attending owners of G row asked about removal of these items. Gras will be asked to remove them.
Painting
We have been trying to get all of the walls painted. However, due to the expense, there will be a board walkthrough (homeowners are asked to attend) to choose the worst stained walls. An example of an Ivy stained wall can be seen on the side of B6. Info forthcoming regarding the date of the walkthrough. Attendees were asked: Would anyone wish to paint their home at their expense? The money would be refunded when your row is painted by the HOA. Anyone interested must discuss this with the HOA before painting their home.
Leaks
- If you have a failing deck roof, the water can leak into the stucco. If this happens, the homeowner is at risk to pay all of the stucco repairs.
- The balcony wall repairs are the responsibility of the home owner.
- Incident reports regarding leaks have decreased.
Birds
- They are building nests in the gutters.
- Natasha will look into the “spikey strips” for the front of our houses. They will be installed by the roofers.
