Call to OrderDennis Bender called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Board Members present were Dennis Bender, Sharon Palm, Debbie Olszowka, Terri Wong, and Burt Young. George Hulsizer was absent with notice. Debi Perkins represented Towne Properties. Tony Wilson and Bob Wilson represented Brickman.   Dave Burling represented the Landscape Committee.  Three owners were also present. Landscape Committee Report - Dave Burling gave the report. The committee met and had several proposals for upgrading some of the neighborhood entrances. The Board reviewed the proposals and approved them. Brickman -Tony Wilson gave the report. Brickman has begun regular mowing and is opening up the irrigation systems. The fountain was put back into the pond by the Meadows.  Three proposals were submitted to the Board covering tree removal in the common space off Eagle Ridge, removal of two white pines on Woodglen and stump removal. The Board approved the tree removals but tabled the stump removal until later in the year. Minutes ApprovedThe Minutes of the previous Board of Trustees meeting held March 17, 2009 were approved with no changes. Managers ReportThe Board reviewed the current Management Report and Debi responded to questions. FinancialThe Board reviewed and approved the current cash statement and delinquent status report.  Any owner not current on their BR account by May 1st is subject to a lien per the terms of the Association's collection policy. Towne will have a list of those delinquent owners for the Board to review at the May meeting. Architectural ReviewThe Board reviewed six applications. Four of them were approved. Part of one application was approved but the Board did not approve the second part of the application nor one other application for a fence. Applications for fences must include a site plan showing the location of the fence and only split-rail fences are allowed as perimeter fences. These owners will be notified of the Board's decision. Old BusinessA. Common Area Infractions - the Association's attorney has been in touch with the three owners who have installed items on BR common areas. Each owner has a deadline to remove the item before further legal action is taken.  Mr. & Mrs. Kelly who have a fence on the BR common area were present at the meeting and made a personal appeal to the Board to reconsider their decision. After listening to their arguments and reviewing their supporting documentation for their argument, the Board decided to stay with their original decision to have the Kellys remove their fence from common area. B. Drainage Inspection - the drainage committee will be meeting later in the week to discuss the progress made on this issue. New BusinessA. Open Board Position - with the resignation of Mitch Lippert, there is one open position on the Board. Three candidates submitted their name for consideration: Patty Broom, Dave Burling and Karen Zisler. Patty Broom was not at the meeting. Karen withdrew her name from consideration. With one candidate remaining for the one open position, the Board agreed to appoint Dave Burling to the Board. B. Windbrook Maintenance - the Board for Shepherd's Farm I condominiums approached the BR Board for reimbursement for snow removal on Windbrook during one of the January snowstorms. The area missed is normally cleared by West Chester Township and not Beckett Ridge. However, the issue now is who is responsible for the street maintenance of Windbrook, which is a private drive. The Association's attorney will investigate and report back to the Board. AdjournmentThere being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 8:17 p.m. at which time the Board went into executive session. Next MeetingThe next Board of Trustees Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. at Tri-County Baptist Church.
