Board members present: Jessica Joyner, Mike Pendleton, Sarah Keally, Kristina Myers, and Jill Jenkins
Residents present: Steve, Kerry, and Jeffrey
Tree Work:
- Tree committee did review with Chip Johnson and also a licensed arborist.
- Agreed with all of the recommendations from the last arborist and got an estimate from JL Tree Service (strongly recommended by Saddler Oaks)
- The estimate was significant to remove two trees that are dying and the tree committee is recommending their removal to the board.
- Application for the removal was provided to the board and will be submitted to the Reston Association (RA); Jessica has signed as the Board President.
- We believe that RA will approve the work once the application is submitted.
- Board voted to approve the Tree Committee’s application for tree work to RA.
- It was recommended we pay for the new trees with the landscaping contract credit.
- Tree committee will talk to homeowners to see which trees will be selected for replacement and get the trees for the cluster.
- They will also check with RA to see about the trees in their free tree program.
- Will provide list of trees to be taken care of and trees to be monitored (disclaimer) for the website (generic) and to contact tree committee if they have questions.
- Board will send out notice to the cluster residents once tree work has been scheduled.
Erosion work
- Update contact for this to cluster PO Box so they get the right contact info.
Drainage Issue:
- Sarah is assigned to this and will work on it this week.
Path Issue:
- Blaze trail contact from concerned person (non cluster resident) and board has decided not to respond
- Cluster lawyers have reviewed the issue and said we are in the clear, we don’t have to maintain the path in question, and no need to respond to the requests.
- Recommended to get a path end sign and the sign will be placed at the end of the trail.
- Board will continue to remain silent and not respond to their requests.
