President's Report. Howard had met with Rolf Bodstrom the morning of the meeting. Rolf, having finally having received all approvals, advised that the sign would be erected no later than Friday, July 28th. Landscaping would be planted shortly thereafter.
Howard then reviewed miscellaneous correspondence that had been received/prepared by the Association, regarding the Dykes Road construction. (Copies follow these minutes).
Compliance Report. John was requested to contact Pan American Landscaping with regard to trimming the hedge at the Stirling Road entrance as it had grown too high and was blocking the lettering on the sign.
John reported on various compliance issues and complaints that he had received regarding the home located at 5220 Hawkes Bluff Avenue (6 complaints). There had also been complaints involving 5210 and 5301 Hawkes Bluff Avenue; 15541 Lancelot Lane (mailbox, car on blocks, and oil on driveway); 5681 Hawkes Bluff Avenue (truck violation).
John advised that notices would be going out regarding the condition of roofs and mailboxes.
Corresponding Secretary: Jay advised that due to a recent sale, a 1996 assessment ($125.00) was recently received as a lien had been filed against the property (prior board never advised incoming board(s)). Jay also advised: (i) storage room had been rented for another year; (ii) foreclosures had been filed against the homeowners of four homes for non-payment of assessments.
Other Business:
1. John requested that Gretchen check with M/M Waddick regarding when the portion of the sidewalk in front of their home would be replaced.
2. Jay informed the meeting regarding the status of the water settlement. Basically, all customers who get their water from Sunrise would be receiving credits of approximately $85.00 to $90.00 on their bills. Could be in the form of one payment or stretched over six years. Jay felt that the City of Sunrise was really a winner, as it will receive millions over the years regarding the surcharges. Howard was requested to write a letter of concern to the Town Council due to how the matter was handled, and that they did not protect our interests. This letter should also be sent to the Sun Sentinel and Miami Herald for publication.
3. A discussion was had concerning the enforcement of no cars parking on the sidewalks. A motion was made, duly seconded, and unanimously passed that the Town of Davie Police Department be contacted and requested that they begin to ticket cars that are blocking the sidewalk.
4. Discussion was had regarding the planned expansion of Griffin Road, due to increased traffic from the Weston area.
The next board meeting is scheduled for August 22, 2000.
There being no further business, upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned at 8:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted
Gretchen Farmer
