PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Glen Abbey West faired better than most in the GlenAbbey subdivision. Flooding is severe at Torontoand AlexandraWoods. Roberto attended a Debary City Council meeting on October 6th. The city has not been proactive to prevent flooding. New development played a role in flooding. Storm drainage was not increased enough to handle development. The city recently hired an engineer to assist with the resolution of current and future problems. Saxon Woods is a major contributor to GlenAbbey’s flooding problem. Roberto advised homeowner’s to contact the acting City Manager, Maryanne at the Mayors office to inquire about the actions or inactions of the city in eliminating the flooding. Either the city or the county trenched at the Pine Meadow retention pond to allow water to flow down to sewer grades. Additionally, there is a hose on opposite side of pond where city is pumping into the pond. A resident in attendance reported that it was a homeowner that dug the trench.
Roberto touched briefly on the closing of the Glen Abbey Golf Course. It is reported that the owner (LaConte) filed a law suit against the city of Debary alleging the city did not address prior flooding of the golf course. There was a newspaper report that the deed was signed over to the bank in lieu of foreclosure, and that the bank already has a few potential buyers. The association will watch for a foreclosure in the public records through their attorney.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Common area fence: It was brought to the attention of the board that the easement area at the corner of Glen Abby Lane and Pine Meadow is owned by the developer TimO’Neil and a street is planned in the future. The board requested that Robin speak with Barfield Fence about amending the contract to include only the areas of Pine Meadow and Pineside Dr and around the pond on Pine Meadow. After the information is received, Robin will discuss the changes with the board before moving forward.
