MINUTES FOR THE LAKE FOREST COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

BOARD MEETING (Special Post Isabel Storm meeting)

September 23, 2003

Meeting opened at 8:10 p.m.

Present: Bev Franklin, Steve Gilbert, Jim Evans, Harry Hopkins, Evelyn Hempstead, and Dave Wilson.

The issue tonight is to discuss community association reaction to all the fallen trees in the community as a result of the Tropical Storm Isabel.

The Rodriquez home on Lot 520 was damaged due to a limb that broke off a tree located on community property. The Association will pay for the removal of the fallen limb, and assess the remaining damaged tree to determine if it needs to be removed. (Note: This paragraph will be reviewed per discussion at the 9 Oct ’03 meeting.)

There are several other fallen trees from community property that are blocking paths in various locations. The Association plans to pay for the removal of these trees to clear the paths. The trees will be cut up and left on site for residents to take. Bev and Dave are meeting Mr. Tomlin tomorrow morning to review the inventory of trees that need to be removed from Community paths. Bev made a motion that the Board approve the expenditure of funds to remove these trees if Mr. Tomlin’s estimate is fair and reasonable. Jim seconded her motion.

The Association recognizes that trees located on community property and which have sustained storm damage, are the responsibility of the association for removal. The Association does not claim liability for damage to any homes that may result from fallen healthy trees or limbs located on community property as a result of storm winds. (Note: This paragraph will also be reviewed per discussion at the 9 Oct ’03 meeting.)

The next Board meeting will be held at Bev’s on Thursday 9 Oct at 7:30 pm
