The
meeting was held at Maggie Plummer’s home.
The meeting started at 6:30 p.m. and adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
Architectural
Committee
Fritz
Wurster wants to continue to have the same non-board members continue as
members of the Architectural Committee, namely John Price and LeeAnne Ferry. Fritz
has received requests for approval for:
1)
a fence at 2147 Dockside;
2)
a pool for Lot 127;
3)
a new home on Lot 179;
4)
a new home on Lot 137.
The
new owner of Lot 163 has offered to complete the sidewalk on this vacant
lot. Board did not think written
approval was necessary for only sidewalk installation. Maggie Plummer will call the owner.
Grounds
Committee
This
Committee continues to be comprised of Fritz Wurster and Jerry Day.
Jerry
Day requested that we switch irrigation services to Hoosier Irrigation after
they came out and repaired our system last year after our previous company
could not meet our time table. Everyone
agreed. Jerry will coordinate to have
the system turned on and regulated.
Fritz
reported that he had already received a bid from Brickman to have the dead
bushes at our front entrance replaced the week prior to Memorial Day. The price for this work is $885.00. The Board agreed to have this work done.
A
resident in Brockton has requested that Highland Park paint the iron gate between the two subdivisions. Jerry Day will check all the gates and
coordinate the repair.
Maggie
Plummer reported that the guardhouse (at the front entrance) has a broken
window and needs painting.
Fritz
Wurster also stated that he has preliminarily discussed having the street trees
trimmed by McNamee.
Maggie
Plummer reported that a resident had reported that he and a neighbor had been
mowing a vacant lot for several years as the owners were not taking care of
this. A certified letter will be sent
asking the owners to assume this responsibility from now on. Failure to assume mowing will result in the
HOA having the mowing done and billing the owners.
Flood
Plain Changes
Fritz
Wurster reported that he was notified by a resident selling their home on
Caledonian that FEMA had revised their flood plain maps since the 2008 flood
which necessitated flood insurance where none had previously been
required. Although Johnson County
officials received these new maps, they stated they did not have the manpower
to verify the changes and make notifications.
More information needs to be gathered before the Board can make a
determination on the total effects to Highland Park. Nancy Loomis will work on this.
Neighborhood
Party
The
Board definitely wants to have an outside neighborhood party this year. It will again take place in one of our
cul-de-sacs. The Board will hopefully
provide a tent, tables, seating, food, drinks, and entertainment so that residents
just have to show up. Nancy Loomis is
heading up this effort. Please email our
web site if you would like to help with this event. We will announce a date as
soon as one is established.
Newsletter
Nancy
Loomis is also looking at doing our own newsletter or looking at what an
outside service can provide.
