Minutes from Delaware Trails Neighborhood Meeting 9/25/01

Meeting called to order at 7:05pm

Minutes were read from Spring ’01 meeting and approved as read.

1> Many neighbors voiced their happiness with the landscape effort at the Hoover Road entrance. Nicely Done!

2> Regarding dues: 84% of households have paid to date. We will collect a few more.

3> Davis Homes update: NO MUNSEE ENTRANCE/EXIT. 138 houses with a sizable landscape buffer. Since the overall neighborhood concern has been resolved, Davis Homes will proceed to meet with individual contiguous homeowners. Signing off on the restrictive covenants is necessary, but the ball is now squarely in Davis’ court.

4> An appeal to neighbors to sign up on the e-mail sheet. Very effective communication tool.

5> The Board encouraged neighbors to use the retail establishments that advertise in our directory. This is a revenue stream for us and our advertisers deserve our support.
