August 18, 2008 HIGHLAND PARK BOARD OF MANAGERS MEETING

Meeting was called to order at 7:30

Attendees: Dave Celznick, Bill Mazzolini, Kevin Malinowski & Jeanne Stark – Highland Park HOA. Ed Fratus, Carlyle Management

Homeowner Issues:

• Concerned Homeowner on Montrose Way regarding a white van that is parked at 36297 Montrose Way. The vehicle has been parked since mid June and not moved at all since. Concerned homeowner feels it is an eyesore and would really like it parked in the garage. Deed Restrictions do prohibit panel trucks but do not specifically prohibit extended “passenger vans”. Board will continue to monitor the situation to ensure that this does not become an unlicensed, abandoned vehicle.
• Concerned Homeowner on Wendell Court regarding the planned actions for the wet basin as well as provided feedback on a recent mowing. Overall concerns include: clover is spreading into his and his neighbors yards from the basin; alerted us to some rebar sticking up from plastic pipe. A call was made to Brunner to ask about killing/containing the clover. Quote pending from Brunner Landscaping. Bill took the action item to fix the sewer grate covers. Homeowner also asked about his being able to plant trees on association property. Board advised him to hold off for now and to let us do some research as well as develop a broader game plan. Board will be sending letters to homeowners asking them not to dump the grass clipping on the association property.

Thank you to:

• Bill for contacting Columbia Gas requesting that they expedite correction of the faulty gas risers in Highland Park.
• Dave For cleaning the graffiti on the fence.

Minutes from July 2008 meeting were approved; motion carried. Sent to Sean for website posting.

Issue 1: Mileage reimbursement to Board Members conducting Board business will be reimbursed at the new updated federal limit. Board voted in favor of this motion.

Issue 2: Discussion was had regarding the electronic key cards for pool access and an annual reactivation of the legitimate cards was suggested in an attempt to help eliminate pool guests that do not live in Highland Park. Ed will investigate the process with Vectron to make a decision on how we could implement this. Further discussion surrounding the $25 refundable deposit for the pool key and how departing residents should turn in their keys. You should be turning it in to Carlyle so that they can bill the new homeowners should they want a key. Bill suggested that we defer this topic to the Pool Team committee. Kevin countered that the Pool Team should not be involved with this topic since it concerns money issues (the $25). Upon Ed’s investigation, a future discussion will be held.

Issue 3: an email was received from a resident on Haverford about her neighbor and his lack of attention for his yard. Letters have been sent defining the relevant Deed Restrictions. Ed was sending a follow-up letter to this homeowner and asking for a meeting. Meeting was tentatively set for 9/6/08 at the homeowner’s residence.

Issue 4: Directory for Highland Park – Sean provided Kevin with data from 2004 Directory. Decision was made to take out the children’s ages. Kevin will be working on this project.

Issue 5: Playground improvements – a quote is being obtained to add additional swings, tether ball and exercise stations along the nature trail. To be presented at the Sept. 2008 meeting.

Issue 6: The Girl Scouts want to plants flowers on the mounds in the nature park.

Issue 7: A homeowner suggested that we build a dock on the pond at the Rt. 83 entrance. The Board decided to take no action on this suggestion.

Issue 8: Ed provided us with a Welcome Letter that would be sent by Carlyle to a new homeowners. The letter would include the Handbook of Rules and Information and the directory.

Deferred until next time?
