LANDSCAPE

Ray McDermott –reported that Leland removed the dead palm, stump and restored the landscape.  Leland had custom curbs fix a damaged curb resulting from the tree removal at his cost.  Ray made a motion to mulch the front since it has been 1 year.  The contract with Southern Greens was $240.00.  Blaise seconded and all were in favor.

OLD BUSINESS

1811 Abbeyridge –Lynn Riley – ARC Chairperson presented the original Lennar 99 floor plan book and proposed that we provide this to the new buyer before she builds.  It was determined that the plans for the new construction will need to be reviewed by the ARC and then the BOD will give final approval.   Lesley is to contact the buyer and provide her with the information so she is aware of who to contact and what will be required.

NEW BUSINESS -
The Taffers  who live on Hedgerow presented concerns over their parking situation.  They  park on the street but make every effort not to block ingress or egress.  They asked if overnight parking is permitted.  The BOD stated that the County governs the parking on streets and Copperfield does not have any rules against overnight parking.  Dogs were also discussed wherein they were informed that all dogs must be leashed.

A letter was presented from one of the homeowners stating that the property values are dropping in Copperfield due to poor schooling.  There was much discussion and it was determined that schooling is not affecting any declining values in Copperfield.

It was noted that there is rust at the entrance which should be removed.  It was also discussed that with a decision to put in a well this will hinder water flow and create more rust.  Ray will look into have the entrance cleaned.

It was also noted that a tree house is being constructed on Heather Stone.  It was determined that an ARA must be completed before any more construction continues.  Lesley will contact the owner with the information.
