The next board meeting will be
held on Friday, June 6th at Jon Peterson’s home.
Agenda Items:
The
board approved the minutes of the March 1st meeting.
Vehicle
Parking:
The
proposed amendment to the covenants regarding vehicle parking was tabled at the
last homeowners annual meeting, hence the current regulation is still in place:
No camper, motor home, truck, trailer,
boat or disabled vehicle may be parked or stored overnight or longer on any lot
in open public view.
Under this regulation, truck is defined as any vehicle carrying a truck license plate.
The
Zionsville code of ordinance stipulates that no trucks or tractors may be
parked on roads between dusk to dawn.
It
was agreed that a letter should be sent to all homeowners reminding them of the
current regulation and asking anyone in violation of the covenants to take
appropriate action.
The
letter should also include a reminder of the speed limit within the subdivision
(30 mph) and another push to utilize the http://www.huntington-woods.com/index.cfm
website as the main means of communication.
Painting
of subdivision mailbox posts:
A
quotation was received to paint all mailbox posts within the subdivision for
$700. The board agreed that it was not necessary at this point to get the
mailbox posts painted. Many positive comments were received regarding the
freshly painted fence along Ford Road.
Replacement
of community trees along Ford Road:
Tim
is following up with landscaping company regarding tree replacement.
Traffic
Control at entrance to subdivision:
Mike
informed the board that a letter to the Zionsville Safety Board would be
required to have traffic signs posted around the entrance area. Mike offered to
write a letter to the Safety Board requesting the posting of a YIELD sign at
the entrance road, giving the loop road the right of way.
Mike
will also ask to have the speed limit within the subdivision reduced to 25 mph
and having speed limit signs posted in appropriate places.
Street
signs:
Jon
is requesting quotes to replace the street signs within the subdivision with
more attractive signs, modeled after the street signs in the Thornhill or
Enclave subdivisions.
Dumpster
for community use:
Holger
to follow up with Tim regarding getting a dumpster for a weekend for community
use.
Wetlands:
Mike took the initiative to follow up on a question from a homeowner regarding the creek that runs through our neighborhood. There are several areas where the water stands, even during the driest months. The concern of the homeowner was related to the West Nile Virus transmitted by mosquitoes. Mike informed the board that the creek area was designated wetlands and grading would be practically impossible. He requested Boone County Health to come and check the creek for mosquito larvae and spray if required. Mike will respond to the concerned homeowners.
