Actions of the Board

 

February 27, 2003 to May 6, 2003

 

 

Landscaping

·        Spring clean up performed by landscaper. Landscaper has been advised to remove rubbish from several areas of the property.

·        Initial Spring fertilizer applied to lawns. Additional seeding, pre-emergent treatments and dandelion treatments cannot be performed until the sprinkler system is fully operational

·        An inspection tour was conducted with George Morano to identify tree and shrub damage due to the drought and winter damage. A long list was made of items to be replaced and/or repaired and as soon as the sprinklers are running, this list will be addressed one building at a time. Many, if not all, of these shrubs are to be supplied by Mignatti. Working with township to coordinate.

·        Identified three water main breaks in the irrigation system. Coordinated repairs of the main with the township. Township completed repairs to the main. Sprinkler system charged. Only 2 of 32 valves are operational as of 5/5/03.

·        A new sprinkler company has been engaged and is repairing and starting up the system. The system should be operational by 5/9/03. Once the sprinkler system is operational, the sprinkler company and the Association will identify areas that need expansion.

·        Identified a tree that is cutting into a driveway. Tree specialist called to remove the tree, inspect a pear tree that apparently is dying, grind and remove a stump near the front entrance.

 

Siding

·        Mignatti gutter replacement put on hold until the township provides an acceptable solution for the fronts of the Miller units. A similar approach is likely to be used for the fronts of the affected Mignatti units.

 

Drainage Project

o       Township to repair lawn areas that were dug up. Township parks department to complete repairs once sprinkler system is repaired

o       Association to invoice township for repairs to irrigation system caused by digging

o       Township to create French drains beneath many of the rear well vents on the Miller units and install drainpipes from those drains to the drainage system.

o       Township to connect front leaders on Miller end units to the existing drainpipes.

o       Township to submit plans for remediation of fronts of the rest of the Miller units.

o       Township to re-check several patios for proper pitch.
