UNIT OWNER PRESENTATIONS

 

4515-A – expressed concerns regarding the following:

 

Jim S. addressed the landscaping issues by stating that a spring evaluation would address the area of the tree removal at 4507; suggested that the tree pruned at 4511 would flourish come spring, however, it would be monitored.

 

The Board agreed that the stakes should be removed as grass is not going to grow now, and the issue would be addressed during the spring evaluation.

 

As to the generic notices, he stated that this is a general practice in dealing with specific issues within specific courtyards throughout the property, and should not be taken personally.
