HAMPTONS REQUEST FOR AID FOR HURRICANE TREE WORK

Mr. Lou Glatzer, Mr. Bob Currie, and Ms. Cindy Whittle (Integrity Property Management) presented the Board with a request on behalf of The Hamptons, Glen Condos, and Steeplechase for monetary assistance to help pay for the clean up efforts following Hurricane Francis.

The following was requested:

Steeplechase $1375.00
Glen Condo $2287.50
The Hamptons $2935.00

The request represents half of the total cost for clean up work. The work was performed by:
Sun 'n' Surf
Twin Tree Service
Phil's Tree
Ricardo Garcia
Don's Landscaping

Mr. Weinberg presented the Board with the legal opinion that the Master Association cannot spend funds to clean up the Neighborhood Associations. Doing so could open up the community to help pay bills for individual residents and for the golf course. He recommends that the Board not approve this request.

The Board told Ms. Whittle to see if the attorneys for any of the Neighborhood Associations could find a way for the Master Association to do this and if they can then the Board would be willing to revisit the request.

REQUEST BY MR. KEVIN MC CARTHY (1901 OAKMONT TERRACE)

Mr. Kevin McCarthy of 1901 Oakmont Terrace requested permission from the Board to allow on street parking in front of his house on a regular basis. Mr. Carthy stated that he has seven cars registered to his home and that there are times when all seven are at the residence. His garage and driveway could only hold five cars.

It was brought up that the City of Coral Springs does not permit on-street parking and whatever is decided tonight can be overwritten by the Coral Springs Police if they want to.

The Board had a discussion on the subject. Mr. Morrow and Mrs. Frank both suggested that the neighbors submit letters stating they don't mind this.

A MOTION was made by Mr. Morrow and seconded by Mrs. Frank to allow Mr. McCarthy to park up to two cars on the street as long as letters are submitted from the neighbors on either side of his home. This Motion will be evaluated again in six months and at that time may be amended or canceled by the Board. MOTION PASSED 6 YES and 0 NO.

LEGAL REPORT

Mr. Weinberg reported that there are presently three collection matters in his office: 1 bank foreclosure; 1 bankruptcy; and 1 resident that have their unit scheduled for sale.

Mr. Brawer informed the Board that the resident that is installing the wall to hide their fountain has finally started the work.

Mr. Weinberg brought the Board up to date on the matter of Mr. Ron Elkman (1420 NW 126th Drive). Mr. Elkman discovered a pipe in his backyard that he thought belonged to the Association's drainage system and was causing his backyard to flood. Mr. Weinberg suggested that the Board hire an engineer to find where the pipe went and what it was used for. The engineer's letter is attached and states that the pipe does not show up on any plans filed with the city and that he recommends that the homeowner (Mr. Elkman) cap off the pipe.

Mr. Weinberg went on to report that Mr. Elkman has asked the Board for assistance in cleaning up the berm behind his house. The Board stated that it was willing to work with him and asked Mr. Weinberg to write him a letter stating that the Board is willing to plant a ficus hedge as long as Mr. Elkman maintains it.

Mr. Weinberg was pleased to announce that there are no other matters presently with his office.

ARC REPORT

Mr. Brawer presented the ARC report for the Committee and explained the different applications. All applications except two were recommended for approval.

The Board also had a discussion on 2045 Augusta Terrace. The Board decided that the plant material that this resident wanted to use to hide his fountain was not satisfactory.

A MOTION was made by Mr. Berk and seconded by Mr. Scatcherd that the ARC report be approved as recommended by the committee except that 2045 Augusta Terrace not be approved. MOTION PASSED 6 YES and 0 NO.

NEW BUSINESS & AUDIENCE COMMENTS

The Board had a brief discussion on the issuing of a check to a charity. Mr. Brawer reported that he checked with Goldman and Juda and they said that there was nothing wrong with it especially since it could be shown that the money came into our account and then went out.

The Board had some additional discussion on the parking issue.

Mr. Berk asked if anything was happening with the vendor fair for hurricane shutters. Mr. Brawer report that he had not heard from the resident that said that she would head it up.
