Board Member Actions
The minutes from the 7 July 2001 meeting were approved.
The board agreed to maintain the vacant position as a
vacant one until the annual meeting.
Paving Project
David Raynes is to coordinate and mail a letter to Crump
Paving confirming the POAs dissatisfaction regarding the
paving and the repairs. Attorney Joines in Wilkesboro
was mentioned as a possible assistant in this process.
The Board was reminded that road maintenance is CRITICAL
and that there should be money budgeted annually for
this maintenance. Paul McWhirter and Raymond Hansmann
continue monitoring the roads. Gary Gibson is working on
the guardrail.
Keys Cabin
The Board expects to provide two options for the General
Membership meeting regarding the continued deterioration
of Keys Cabin. An estimate of $8,000 for materials to
stabilize the structure was provided.
Fire Concerns
David Raynes expects to contact several local officials
and have a meeting with the Board. There maybe several
state requirements that may cause POA compliance
problems.
Trails
The developer continues trail improvements.
Financial
Mountain Resources continues collecting and disbursing
funds on behalf of the POA.
Recreation Area
The tee-pee and log cabin are completed. Some
cleaning-up of the area remains. The treasurer will
check to ensure that the POA has appropriate insurance
riders for this area. Raymond and Paul will check the
area for clean up.
Gate
The board approved the plan to further upgrade the gate
security with some additional cameras and non-intrusive
subdued "old-timey" type lighting for the gate area.
(The developer has final approval for lighting.) Also
approved was a "timed keypad" for contactors and others
who require intermediate access. The intent is to
improve security without causing inconvenience for the
POA members, renters, and other authorized users.
Raymond, Steve, and Phil will coordinate the gate and
lighting as required with Secure South and the
developer.
Safety
Paul presented information on a defibrillator. No action
was taken.
Off the Road Vehicles and Motorcycles
Previous action at the last Board meeting was rescinded.
This action enables The Board to be in compliance with
the property owners' covenants, the overriding
regulations.
Respectfully Submitted, Leatherwood Mountains Property
Owners Association, Inc.
