TREASURER’S REPORT
The budget year ended as planned in October. The only outstanding expense
is the balance due for the signs. The collection report was reviewed.
New assessment notices were mailed December 20, 2005. Vista reported
that because of printing issues, the notices were sent December 20
instead of December 1 as planned. The late delivery means late notices
cannot be sent until February 20. To prevent this from occurring next
year, it is recommended that the budget meeting be held in October.
MANAGER’S REPORT
Linda Bryce had two new signs made for the meeting announcements. There
were several calls during the month regarding bush trimming. Linda
reported on the following:
•
the annual meeting is scheduled for February 15, 2006
•
the pressure washing of the perimeter wall and arch was completed
•
a request for bid is out for cleaning the walls in the recreation area
•
the Realtor signs must be placed against the homes and must be smaller
(The rule that addresses the placement and size of the signs is being
researched.)
OLD BUSINESS
Fast Signs prepared sign proofs for approval. The delay was due to permitting
and the age of Granada Villas. An opinion has been requested from T&C
regarding dead tree removal. The history of opinions requested from
T&C include:
• August 1999 – for trimming all trees
•
August 2004 – for removal and trim of damaged trees from the hurricanes
•
December 2005 = for 11 dead pine trees located in and outside of the
residents’ gated areas
The L&C court case is still before an appellate judge waiting for
a ruling.
There are three exceptions to the Articles of Declaration stating that
it is the Board’s responsibility to remove dead trees which is
not consistent with past practices. If in fact it is the GV homeowners’ responsibility,
the Articles of Declaration must be amended which requires 75% of the
homeowners.
T&C will be asked to address the liabilities for past tree removal
by the homeowners and the statute of limitations as well as a definition
of landscaping and the case law that is the basis for the opinion.
Nick Frosolone questioned the 1984 and 1987 changes to the Articles
of Declaration and the Declaration of the Covenants and Restrictions,
the Articles of Incorpation and the By Laws.
Pat made a motion to table the decision on the dead tree removal until
the opinion is received from T&C.
The cost to clean the tennis court of mold and mildew is $450 and an
additional $450 to repair the lighting. The drooping of the net is hoped
to be rectified by the cleaning process. Glenn made a motion to clean
the tennis court and follow up with the lighting issues. Pat seconded
the motion. The vote was unanimous for approval.
NEW BUSINESS:
Wal Mart has a building permit to build on Turkey Lake Road. The HOAs
in the area are being asked to sign petitions to prevent Wal Mart from
building a retail location in that area. The appeal because of external
lighting impact to the local area will be before the Development Review
Committee will be conducted January 25, 2006. The appeal hearing with
the Board of Zoning Adjustments and the Concurrency Management office
because of the impact to traffic in the area is scheduled for March 2.
A hearing will be held January 19 for the proposed widening of Sank Lake
at I4 east past the turnpike. .
This is the last regular meeting of the 2005 Board. Pat made a motion
to appoint the Nominating Committee consisting of Mary Ellen Clegg, Lois
Gilbert, and Leann Warfield to the Nominating Committee.. Glenn seconded
the motion. The vote was unanimous for approval.
February 15 is the Annual Meeting will be conducted at the Wyndam Hotel
at 8001 International Drive.
