John reviewed the 2018 Budget, Balance Sheet and 2019 Budget. Major repair last year was the upper road resurface. Assets are just over $74,000
Shawn opened elections for three board positions. Shawn Maynard was re-elected as President. Bill Kerner and Justin Wood will also serve on the board
We are looking at the possibility having 2 homes built on the west end of Jessie Creek (Wadman Property). There are 5 lots available, but only water for 2 currently.
The owner of the Kapp property – beyond the Wadman property has requested an easement through Pole Patch to access his property. We have had an attorney draw up an easement that we have agreed to. Currently there is no plan to develop this property.
Don reported on the water system. We are using Tyson at Pleasant View City to be our “water master” He does this separate from his PV job. We are still working with the city to take over our water system. Tyson has been working with the city council in working towards this goal. We will meet with the city council probably in March. This is not something that we need to do…we are just looking at it. John can provide testing on our water system to anyone who would like to see them
Shawn talked about increasing our yearly HOA fee. The lower section of Pole Patch Drive is going to have to be replace in the next 5-7 years. We need to begin to accrue funds to replace this section. $150,000 is the estimate to replace the road. We propose to increase the dues by $350.00 to cover this.
Pole Patch purchased a tank sprayer to keep the weeds down on the side of the road. John D’Agnillo is spraying the weeds currently. This sprayer is available to anyone who would like to use it.
Snow removal is going very good this year. We are seeing a couple issues with trees hanging into the road. If you have trees on your lot, please make sure they are trimmed off the road. Overall, we are happy with the service this year.
We replaced the keypad on the gate this year, it is now lit at night.
Solar panels are pre-approved to go on roofs. Free standing panels need to be approved by the board.
Please keep fire hydrants on your property free of snow.
Speed has been an issue on Pole Patch. Also, if you are walking early morning or late at night, make sure you wear reflective material.
All documents relating to roads, water, etc. are available on our website. Contact a board member if you would like to see them.
The approach to the gate is very rough. This road belongs to the city, and they don’t have plans to repair it. When we make any repairs to our road, perhaps we can overlay that small section.
