VII. OLD BUSINESS

1. Board Replacements. Carolyn Steele reminded the Board that one position is still open on the Board.

VIII. NEW BUSINESS

1. Chardonnay HOA Declaration Problem. Dan Ruskiewicz reported that in the process of foreclosing on an owner in Chardonnay, the owner questioned the authority of the Association to assess owners in Chardonnay. Neither the association’s attorney nor Dan could find any authority in their review of available documents. However, the attorney stated that documents could have been filed before the property was developed by Mobley Homes that provide that authority. He will continue his search. However, without that authority, Chardonnay owners could be exempt from paying the Association and still enjoy the benefits of the Village. The Association would loose $40,320 in revenue.
2. Joint Committee Funding. Dan Ruskiewicz advised the Board that the joint committees that were formed had no means of funding administrative expenses and made a proposal was made By John Miley that $1000 be put into a fund that is split 40-40-20. The Phase III share will be $400. Dan stated that Phase II approved the proposal, but Phase I deferred the vote to their next meeting. The Board agreed to defer the item to their next meeting also.
3. Belemere Fence Repair. Dan advised the Board that there is a wooden fence on the boundary line between the Association common area and Belemere Apartments. The fence was installed by the U.S. Home building division to provide privacy for the houses built in Somerset. The fence was not placed on the homeowner’s property line because U.S. Home wanted to give the appearance of a larger back yard. He advised that the fence, although placed on common property, should have been placed on the homeowner’s property line. Therefore, the owners that have called to have the fence repaired have been told that only minor repairs will be made such as replacing pickets and that eventually the fence will be removed and not replaced. There is a chain link fence abutting the wooded fence that belongs to Belemere Apartments. Two owners have built their own fence on their property line. Two other owners have planted hedges to block the view of the fence. However, one owner has requested the Association to replace some of the pickets. Dan requested approval to replace the pickets. The Board approved.
4. Storm Damage – Tree Removal. Dan advised the Board that there he has received several calls to remove very large tree in common areas mostly next to ponds that have fallen on private property. He stated that the Association is obligated to remove the trees but suggested Grounds Chairman look at the size of the trees so they are not surprised at the cost to remove them. The Board approved removal of the trees.
5. Mini-parks on Sussex/Burrington. The committee will make a recommendation at the next Board meeting for re-locating or removing the playground equipment at the mini-parks.

IX. NOTICE OF NEXT MEETING

The next Board of Directors meeting will be on August 30, 2000 at Greenacre Properties, Inc., 4131 Gunn Highway, Tampa, Florida
