COMMITTEE REPORTS

1. Architectural Review

2.Grounds and Maintenance -

• All Season's owned by Harold Ragland from Trevillians has been rehired to do common area maintenance for the coming year.

• VDOT was contacted and removed the sand build up on our roads. VDOT was also consulted about our continuing concerns with speeding in the subdivision. Rumble strips installation is being investigated as an option though VDOT recommends against installation due to the noise it creates.

• The presence of dog waste in common areas and on private lots continues to be a major concern. The idea of installing anchored trash receptacles along with signage reminding owners to clean up after their pets is being investigated. Joe Gottlieb will follow up with beginning this program and engaging the services of a trash service for regular pick up of waste. It was decided to target the area along Arrowood first.
