Committee Reports

Modifications - Janis Sherer Ballard reported that there has been a change on the Modification Report. It now reflects the number of votes cast on each issue. Larry Leiter of the Hammock and Barbara Fischer of the Pines have been added as permanent members of the committee. Pat Gregorio of the Glades and Mark Jackson of the Oaks have been made alternates. Milt Rothweiler will contact Carol Frankland of the Crest to see if she has an interest in serving on the committee.

By motion made, seconded and approved the Board adopted the above member changes to the Modifications Committee.

By motion made, seconded and approved the Board ratified the actions of the Modifications Committee from July 1, 2001, through September 30, 2001.

Budget – Vince Contino reported that the 2002 budget will include $12.00 per home for community activities. The biggest change is that SMR will not be subsidizing the budget. The annual fee will increase from $90.00 per year to $91.00. $20,000 from the Association budget will be put into CDD1 because the CSO spends a great deal of time on CDD1 activities.

By motion made, seconded and approved the Board adopted the proposed 2002 budgets for the Association and Summerfield Forest.

Safety Awareness – Frank Krebs reported that he had attended the Sheriff’s Office meeting. As a result of that meeting he noted that Palm Aire East has been experiencing a large number of vehicle burglaries. Lakewood Ranch East has been experiencing a number of construction burglaries. There have been numerous burglaries countywide where people have left their garage doors open while working outside.

Frank also reported on signs that have been requested for Otter Lake and Heron’s Nest. He reminded residents to come to the Safety Awareness Meetings.

Phyllis Troy noted that the traffic light should be installed at Lakewood Ranch Boulevard and Summerfield Parkway within the next thirty days. The sidewalk from the CSO south must be installed first. Once the light is in, the crossing guard will be moved to the new location at the light.

Restriction Revision – Gary Berns presented the final version of the Playset Restrictions. A vote was taken of the Voting Members present and the decision was unanimous to adopt the revised Playset Restrictions.

By motion made, seconded and approved the Board adopted the revised Playset Restrictions (copy attached).

Gary Berns then raised the issue of rental deposits for the Hollow. He noted that they are a different type of set up because they are a condominium association.

By motion made, seconded and approved the Board exempted Summerfield Hollow from the requirement that a $500 security deposit be paid for each rental property.

District Supervisors’ Reports – Joanne Dain reported that the subcontractor retiring the gas lines has been pulled off the job several times. There are 117 more lamps to be retired. This should be completed by the end of this week. A letter has been drafted to the Public Service Commission requesting that the District not have to pay the service charge for retiring the lines.

Joanne then reported that the contract for the Sheriff’s deputy is with the Sheriff’s Department. There are still some legal questions. She is awaiting a call from the Sheriff’s Department.

June Stroup reported that there is still no report from the irrigation consultant regarding the low pressure problem. The District will be looking at the parking lot at Heron’s Nest as far as lighting to discourage some of the evening activities taking place there illegally.

Compliance – Ellen Krebs presented a new procedure for hearings.

By motion made, seconded and approved the Board adopted the new procedure for Compliance Hearings (copy attached). It will be included in the revised pages of the Homeowners’ Manual.

Gary Berns reported that there are currently six outstanding fines for violations of the deed restrictions.

By motion made, seconded and approved the Board ratified the actions of the Compliance Committee from July 1, 2001 through September 30, 2001.

Landscape – Dick Weiss gave an update on drought replacement. Since the sod had developed a fungus, the contractor is paying for 95% of the replacement. The landscape bed at the front entrance on SR70 will be ripped out and replaced. Aztec Grass will be used. The entrance sign has been pressure washed.

Neighborhood Reports – Several of the neighborhood voting members gave brief reports. A question was raised by Nancy Woyciechowski regarding deadlines for completion of conversion of gas lamps. Dick Weiss responded that if a resident needs an extension and they contact the CSO, they would automatically be granted a 30 day extension. Extensions can be granted for up to 60 days. The 90 day time frame will start next week.

Dick recognized Art Correira of the Place for efforts in locating conversion kits.

As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Janis Sherer Ballard
