For those of you who were not able to attend the
annual HOA meeting this weekend, here is a summary of what was discussed:
We have received enough votes opposing the proposed
changes to the commonly owned properties to call the matter settled. We will
not be passing on the land to adjacent homeowners. We are in the process of
collecting bids for putting in a sidewalk through the easement between the 320
North culdesac and 1420 East. When we have a final cost projection on the
sidewalk, we will know what other improvements we will be able to have finished
this season.
Future plans for commonly owned property include
improvements to the retention basin. We would like to re-treat the lawn in that
area so that it is more useable and attractive. We would also like to put in a
path around the perimeter for jogging etc. and possibly some soccer goals or
some other play equipment, depending on what is feasible and compatible with
the need to have the land function as a retention basin as necessary.
The City of Provo has a neighborhood grant to use
toward improvements in different neighborhoods around the city. We will apply
for the grant this year. They will match funds up to $5000.00 and/or volunteer
hours to be used in approved projects. This will go far toward any improvements
we would like to make to our common properties. We can also apply more than
once and receive the grant more than once.
The path in the north end of the neighborhood we
will put on hold until the new Ivory Homes development is underway. They have
an extension of our path into their neighborhood. We would like to cooperate
with them in that installation.
The roads in our neighborhood will be ground down
and resurfaced, beginning on Tuesday May 8th. Depending on weather,
etc. the contractors plan to be finished within two weeks.
We are looking into a neighborhood watch program.
Mirna B volunteered to head this up. We will need volunteers from
different areas of the neighborhood to be on this committee. If you are
interested, you can contact her or one of the HOA board members.
We also discussed the possibility of voting on an
updated version of our HOA’s CC&Rs/ By-Laws. Watch for more information
about this in the future.
We have set a tentative date for our annual
neighborhood block party for the evening of June 9th.
