Arbor Ridge Home Owner Meeting for September 24th, 2013

Homeowner Input

Homeowner in attendance had concerns with her neighbor. Wanting to know if she could have power washers go to the home and then attach a lien on the home when they go to sell. Homeowner is curious why the issue has been outstanding for so long. Lynda said that an attorney would need to get involved – which means the HOA would incur attorney fees. In addition, the HOA would need to be careful from getting sued for trespassing onto someone’s property to do maintenance. Lynda suggested calling the police if they see any suspicious activity. There isn’t very much the Board can do at this point – outside what has already been done. An additional homeowner suggested contacting the REO department?

Tom talked with John from Showplace to not maintain them and put a different ground cover there instead.
      Full aeration in common areas has been completed. John mentioned it should be done every couple years.
    • Phase 2 of Tree Removal project is starting. Last year, 74 trees came out and were replaced by approximately 12.

    • Made significant progress. Reviewed some questions he’s received as the committee chair and provided answers to them. Tract C unhealthy – beaver feces, not much maintenance, etc. Tract U is somewhat better than Tract C. Tract T has much better water flow. All tracks have standing dead trees – looks messy/deteriorated. Even though there is much more maintenance needed, it looks much better than it was a year ago. Things out of our control: the beavers and the increase of water. The water increase continues – even in the summer. Recommendations to continue removing the beavers and their dams. Bud Weaver apparently has had traps there for 3 months. He claims to have caught only one beaver. Beaver trap signs were defaced by proponents who claim cruelty to animals.
