Architectural Review-

2. An application for a new house on lot 87 has been submitted after several consultations with the review committee. The application seemed to be in order.

1)The two DOGIPOT Pet Stations have arrived. The board approved expenses associated with the installation of the devices and finalized the location of the two stations. One will be located near the intersection of Whispering Oaks and Arrow Wood and the other along the 1700 block of Stoney Creek Drive near the speed limit sign. Arrangements are being finalized with one of the local trash companies for emptying the stations.

2)A tree in one of the common areas fell into a resident's yard. Funds were approved to have the tree removed. Although this tree did no significant damage, the board will review its insurance policies regarding this type of accident. Residents are encouraged to inform a board member if you feel a tree in one of the common areas is in danger of falling so it can be inspected and/or removed.
