Old
Business:
- Paving update: The concrete has been back ordered.
Repairs of several areas in the asphalt where the rain
accumulates should begin Thursday or Friday. The first step
is to raise the concrete sidewalk edge, followed by
re-asphalting of those areas some time after that. Jim
Naughton will put notices on the mail-boxes to inform owners
to move their cars. After the concrete repair is completed
and the asphalt re-laid in those areas, final striping and
stenciling will be scheduled as necessary.
Owners are asked to check for notices at their
mailboxes. The concrete repair will cost $4000 to $5000 over
the budgeted cost of repaving since the additional concrete
work was not part of the original bid. There is no additional
cost to the cluster for the redoing of the asphalt surfaces.
- Delinquent dues: The board has filed a lien against
owner(s) who are significantly in arrears on their dues. The
board will continue to pursue options to collect these dues.
- Exterior maintenance: the board has agreed to
censure owners who do not maintain their grounds and physical
property exterior. The board will send a letter of warning to
owners and, if compliance is not forthcoming, will file a
formal complaint with the Reston Assn. against the offending
party.
- Montessori school update: The RDRB has approved the
plans for the Montesori school on Ridge Heights Rd.
New
Business:
- The notice to be posted on the mailboxes for the
concrete work also details dates for leaf removal by Genesis.
- The new snow removal contract has been approved and
signed.
- The board has begun work on a latticework guideline
for the cluster.
- An acceptable Butternut color has been
custom-created by Duron in Herndon so that owners who would
like to stain the wood walking surfaces of their decks with
something more durable than the siding formulation of
Butternut can do. Owners should ask for the deck surface
stain in butternut. The formula for that stain is: Maxwood
Solid Deck and Siding, c-6y, b-y40, f-44, w-3y16(note: this
formula is only approved for our decks: siding formulation is
also on file).The paint formula for the Butternut color has
been corrected and is on file at the Duron store in Herndon.
- The board authorized expenditures to see that new
owners get complete and accurate exterior guidelines.
- The board has approved the creation of a DRB
bulletin board on the cluster web site. It will list what DRB
applications the board has received. Mary Medlin will work
with Pete Blondin on this.
- The board has signed as acknowledgement of a DRB
application by Helen Romm at 2035 Lakewinds to remove a tree.
- The board is discussing the viability of
transferring some monies from grounds maintenance to
structural maintenance. This would allow more of the carports
to be refurbished sooner.
- The board reviewed a letter from new Lakewinds owner
Leon Bernal who expressed concern that the grading and other
related issues in areas adjacent to his property were having
an adverse effect on the water drainage on his property. Bill
Cook agreed to review the site so that he would have a better
understanding of the situation referenced in the letter. Bill
will contact Leon Bernal to follow up.
