Bids are being requested for landscaping the Recreation area. Landscaping of the front entrance area is on hold pending completion of the entrance sign.

OLD BUSINESS
Bob indicated that Orange County Zoning Commission does not have any records on file regarding a building permit and layout of a shed in the Recreation area. Bob will continue to search for the plot plans. Before the shed can be replaced, a plot plan and engineering drawings are required for the building permit. In the meantime, Don Tracey, Associated Landscape Company, has agreed to store the pump parts temporarily.

After months of deliberation and negotiations, the GV homeowners will realize direct savings in excess of $7,000 based on Fastsigns’ bid. Pat made a motion to request Taylor & Carls draw up a contract for Fastsigns to supply engineering drawings and pursue permits for the manufacture and installation of five signs. Glenn seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous for approval. Bob indicated the money would be taken from the contingency and sign accounts.

Lorenz and Cohn have an appeal pending in Circuit Court of Appeals. The homeowners motioned the judge to hear oral arguments.

NEW BUSINESS:
A template for the three different violation letters was given to Vista for use when generating violation letters.

The list of violations as reported in the Manager’s Report of July 15, were reviewed by the Board. Vista was requested to produce violation letters for certain violations. Vista was asked to research their files for the bids that were secured for pressure washing the walls and sidewalks.

The Board discussed a letter received from a homeowner regarding the fencing around the air conditioning unit. The Board will request that Nicky post the description of the shadow box fencing that is to be used around the air conditioner to prevent grass from collecting on the AC unit during mowing.

Bob will prepare a preliminary draft of the letter that will be sent to homeowners who have dual irrigation systems. Discussions with homeowners with private irrigation systems have been put on hold.

Vista is researching Vista Management’s files for the legal opinion in regard to the responsibility for any repairs to common driveways.

Glenn reported that there are three bus stops in Granada Villas now that Bay Meadows Elementary School has been torn down and moved farther away. Please be on the look out for small children at the bus stops.

The sign used to announce the Board meetings has been stolen. An old sign will be used temporarily.
