Homeowner Concerns & New Business(Open Forum):
Homeowners that were present during the meeting expressed concern over trashcans in the streets as well as comments and questions about the current rezoning project. A few homeowners mentioned gating the community and a response was provided by the attorney as well as those board members who have already researched our options and it was explained that once the roads have been setup for use by the public they cannot be converted easily to a private road. In addition, homeowners’ dues would increase substantially should it be implemented.
Rezoning Project:
Attorney update – Eric Groves: 1stOption to steer to PUD (This was successful). A discussion about the PUD was created with a Master Development plan. The original plat was developed with common areas in flood zones. We are still in the process of making recommendations for the design. We would like to design a subdivision with compatible lot sizes, density and street layout. They do not have plans for a swimming pool and we will recommend them to have one along with covenants. One of our main advantages is the current City Council member that is supporting us. Water drainage is very important in regards to the common areas. Morgan road – Capital improvements for Morgan road is not listed on the current CIP. Existing road conditions will require a bond and it takes approximately 5 to 7 years for a bond to be voted on should it be created and proposed.
Current Business:
The owner of Lifeguard Security will be providing a quote for camera updates at the cabana and possibly the entrances. They are available to provide an in-home quote for any residents wanting to add or upgrade personal security systems.
