November 2013 Board Meeting Minutes

The Willows of Springville Home Owners Association Board Meeting Wednesday, November 13, 2013 – Clubhouse at 7p

Present: Rich, Allison, Amber, Jim, Emily, Jenelle, and Michael (all)

Rich

1. Unit 35 Add On – Homeowner had previously come to the board and asked if they could build an add-on in their backyard. There was a misunderstanding as to what this add-on would look like. Will discuss further action at next month’s meeting.

2. Backyard Trees – Concern about the trees in some backyards. They are reaching into neighbors backyards and also have the potential to ruin foundations and underground systems. Discussion about when to have homeowners remove them on their dime. Will also discuss further at a later date.

3. Community Complaints – Discussion on how best to handle complaints from residents in the community. Rich and Allison respond to these concerns. Any complaint will be forwarded onto the member of the board that handles that specific area such as landscaping, reservations, key cards, etc.

Allison

1. Cats Update – Allison returned the cat trap to animal control. Apparently, our greatest cat issue stems from the neighboring trailer park where the animals are coming from. Animal control are working with residents in that area to control the cats which will lessen the number of cats in our neighborhood.
