Subject: Issues in the Common Areas.
Dear Allen,
In an effort to document outstanding issues on the common
areas, the Executive Board of the Homeowner's Association would
like to express our concerns/issues with the following items. We
have noted the issue, desired resolution and the lots nearest to
the Common Area land involved.
Silt in Bio-filter
A large amount of silt has accumulated at the base of the
drain and behind lot 31. The result is that the water seems to
drain at a slower rate. We would like this cleaned out before the
property is considered complete.
· Lot - 30/31 (by drain)
Property Pin Markers
The Executive Board is being asked specific questions about
the homeowner's property. In trying to address the issues, we are
not finding the property pin markers as we had expected. Whether
we just cannot locate them or they were not all put in, we believe
a walkthrough to identify the markers for each property is
appropriate.
· Lot - all
Silt fence (Plastic Paper)
The silt fence (plastic paper used as barriers) has been
buried instead of removed in some places. Rather than pull the
plastic out, the landscaper apparently decided to cut pieces that
were showing, leaving the majority of it buried. The plastic
paper should be fully removed.
· Lot - 30/31, 34, 35, 37
Dirt/Sand Patches
In many areas there are large patches without grass. In some
places, there is only sand in these areas. These areas should
have topsail and be reseeded.
Some of the trees have been covered with bark instead of
mulch. We understand that this may have detrimental long term
effect on the trees and would like the bark replaced with mulch.
· Lot - 34/35
Large Dirt Mounds
These dirt mounds area about 2-3 feet wide and about 3-6
inches high. This is high enough to cause mowing problems. We
would like these leveled and reseeded.
· Lot - 15, 16, 6
Possible Dumping Site
Homeowners have told us that the area behind Lots 11 and 12
have been used as a dumping ground for construction waste and that
everything has now been buried and covered. We would like this
cleaned out, leveled and reseeded.
· Lot - 11, 12
Drainage Area
Small trenches are beginning to form from the water drainage.
As time goes on, the trenches will become larger. We would like
you to share with us the plans
· Lot - 14, 15
Trees still wrapped at Base
Some trees have been planted with the cloth wrap at the base.
It appears that the cloth may prevent the base from growing,
possibly killing these trees. Please clarify whether this creates
an issue - if it does, we would like this addressed by your
landscaper.
· Lot - 13, 14
Large Holes
Some areas have large holes (3-4 feet wide and 2-3 feet deep)
where people could hurt themselves. Some are in somewhat remote
areas, which could add to the risk. We would like these filled
level and reseeded.
· Lot - 15, 16, 6
Miscellaneous Junk found on Property
The items listed below have been found in the woods and we are
guessing that they are on MeadowView land. If yes, what will be
done with these items?
· Lot 37 in woods:
· Large Log pile
· Steel Wire - approximately 10 rolls
· Silt fence paper
· Car tires
· Boat trailer
Please let us know how these concerns will be addressed.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to these matters.
