Westover Woods HOA Board Meeting Minutes June 22nd, 2021

Call to Order - Members present include Greg Ebert, Ralph Culver, Mike Carrigan, Mike Lowden, John Copas and Larry Edwards.


Financial Report

Financial Report was reviewed and approved.


Old Business

Our attorney stated that to date, there has been no formal response from the Avon Town Council attorney concerning the walking path or gate. The Avon Town Council did indicate they were not willing to permit a gate. With the current zoning ordinances and the fact, the roadway is publicly owned there is little hope of success in pursuing the installation of a gate. The Town Council did suggest speed bumps or a more visible police presence might be a consideration. The HOA attorney has contacted us and related the following “the Avon Traffic Calming program is apparently being rewritten and is about to go to the town council for approval. It will likely be passed in July or August. When that happens, we must reapply under the new program.” Our attorney went on to say “At this juncture, all we can really do is wait until the town’s revised traffic calming program is approved and put into effect (likely July or August).”


New Business

Larry stated the irrigation system was not working. The cover on the irrigation controller had been left open and recent rainfall had flooded the box destroying the circuit board. Larry advised it would cost approximately $165.00 and two-hours labor to replace. It was recommended the irrigation controller be secured with a lock to prevent such occurrences.


Other Items

Meeting was adjourned at 8:05PM. The next board meeting will occur on 8/24/21 at 1309 Reeves Rd in Plainfield.

WOW Board MEETING

4/27/2021

Time:  7:00 pm

Financial Report

Financial Report was reviewed and approved.


Old Business

Our attorney has been in contact with the Avon town council, town manager, and the town attorney. The town council has asked the town attorney to formally respond. We are waiting for the letter to determine appropriate action concerning the walking path and the gate. 


Larry checked 705 Westover Rd and three other properties where the coating was chipping off the fascia and eves. After removing the plastic coating, it required two coats of paint to repair. Larry advised that in the future it would be more cost effective to replace the sheet metal. Gutter replacement for the year 2021 has been completed. Aeration and seeding has been completed.


New Business

Rob stated he was reducing the number of snow removal contracts to better serve Westover Woods. Larry stated that during snowfall it was first come first served. It would be critical for the HOA to request snow removal as soon as possible so as not to be given a lower priority. Larry was given the authority to contact Rob immediately when snowfall reached three inches without having to contact a board member. 


Other Items

Meeting was adjourned at 8:23 PM.
