Residents’ Forum
A resident from Court 15 came to discuss parking problems
especially with the four spaces in back of the court. The resident routinely
comes home to others parked in those spaces including contractors working for
the Glen. Could signage be improved? Perhaps, better painted spaces in the
drive? Bob Patrician agreed to restate the parking policy in the next
newsletter and look into other remedies when the court lot is due to be
re-striped later this year.
A Court 1 resident asked that the recycling cans be moved so
as not to block the parking signs at the front of the courts. Beth Cousino will
ask Capitol to move the cans to other side of entries.
A Court 16 resident noted that his hydrostatic water problem
in the basement was solved with extending the downspouts. He recommends the
Glen invest in longer spouts wherever possible and use the green colored
variety for improved aesthetics.
Minutes
05.07.07.01 MOTION
Move to approve the minutes of June 14 and June 18 as submitted. The motion
carried 5-0-0.
President’s Items
The variance meeting held on June 18 produced a recommitment
to promulgate revised rules in many areas in order to be clearer and to inform
the handbook revision. A particular effort will be made to make those residents
who are new to the community aware of our processes and rules.
The truck has reached the point of negative returns and
based on researching the value versus the maintenance obligations will be
donated for a tax credit. As of now, we will not be replacing the vehicle. The snow
blade will be retained for possible future use or sale.
05.07.07.02 MOTION Donate
the Fairlington Glen truck to Salvation Army after removal of snow blade
equipment. The motion carried 5-0-0.
Pool/Office/Workshop
Task Group Report
Kari Doyle presented the results of the recent Task Force
group meetings and information gathering including recent participation by the
Maintenance Committee. Some ideas about space usage were vetted. The
Task Group will develop options in order to begin the design process and a
progress report will be presented to the community in the very near future.
Patio Trees
The Landscape Committee will send letters to the co-owners who
may need to remove trees and limbs from inside their patios. The goal is to
bundle the co-owner work together in order to secure better rates from the
vendor.

out to do a patch and bid on the repair.
