CALL TO ORDER
The
Monthly Meeting of the Orchard Knolls Homeowners Association (hereinafter OKHA)
was called to order at
II.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A motion
was made, seconded and passed approving the Minutes of the February 2002 BOD
Meeting.
III.
OLD BUSINESS
LANDSCAPE RFP
The
maintenance of our common grounds is critical to our community. The overall appearance and maintenance
is a quality-of-life issue as well as having a major impact on value. A Request for Proposals has been distributed
to vendors; responses are due by 3/30.
Owners, residents and their guests are asked to assist in keeping our
community pleasant. Please pick up after
pets, do not litter and do not allow your friends, children and guest to so
either.
The saga
of OKHA relationship with our neighboring commercial establishment continues. Although at times PGC can be an good neighbor, the facility has grown substantially over
the years and has become a nuisance with regard to staffing, noise, lack of
adequate screening, potential environmental impact, and so forth. Further details are available for OKHA
property owners; please make your request via email to President Schinner. OKHA will retain David Gardner or another
attorney to look into taking legal actions against the PGC.
NEW FIRE STATION FACILITY
Without
notice to neighbors bordering the property, or to the OKHA, the County
constructed a large metal storage facility on the Fire Station property that
abuts OKHA properties. Attorney David
Gardner will investigate the process and report back to the BOD. At a minimum, neighbors and OKHA will ask
that the County heavily screen the structure and loading dock with fencing and
landscaping.

The
status, purpose and process of our ARC and approval process will now be
reviewed. OKHA Attorney David Gardner
providing guidance, the ARC base evaluated previous BOD decisions that were
made to facilitate the review process.
Some property owners and or residents are either unaware of the
application process, have either inadvertently or willfully circumvented the
process, or have followed understood procedures that may or may not comply with
OKHA documented procedures. The BOD is
reviewing the entire process, ARC members and will make recommendations at the
April BOD meeting.
