Landscaping:
- Lauralynn said that Regina’s had been notified that the Board did not intend to renew her contract and had engaged Carlo Fraoli for landscaping. Carlo had already been on the property.
- Carlo intended to plant in the beds in front of each unit in early May. Any homeowners who wanted to do their own plantings should contact Lauralynn or Mary so that they could tell Carlo.
- Lauralynn said that there had been some recent tree damage on the property but that this had been cleaned up. Carlo will replace the tree in the traffic circle once the old tree was removed. The tree that was damaged in the common area near unit 14 will be removed in the spring.
Swimming Pool:

Miscellaneous:

- Mary said that there had been damage to the gutters and sills at her unit and also water damage around the windows at unit 12. The Board agreed that gutters were the responsibility of the homeowners but sills were the condominium responsibility. Mary said she would submit costs  to Eli for repairs to her sills.
- The Board discussed a request by Bernice Gottlieb for payment to remove ice around the skylight in her unit and agreed that under the bylaws this was the responsibility of the homeowners. The Board asked Rob to send Bernice a letter explaining this.
- The Board discussed the fact a number of cars were exiting the property through the entrance. This was extremely dangerous and homeowners are asked to remind visitors who were not familiar with the property not to do this. Lauralynn said she would ask Bay to have another “No Exit†sign erected at the entrance and possibly in front of units 10, 11 or 12. Sabe said he would investigate speed bumps that could remain on the property in winter.
