Attendees: Kelly, Kristina, Cyndi, Sandy, Kayleen

Community updates

Fall Cluster Clean up – how did it go?

Around 14 houses were represented during the cleanup. It was a great turn out and we were able to be successful with the projects we wanted to complete. Thank you to everyone who helped out. 

Erosion

French drain and access path – completed.  Checking with Eddie/Jose on whether grass seed was put down or if that still needs to be done – he is putting down straw instead

We may need to circle back in the Spring and see if anything else needs to be done with area and possibly plant grass or ivy. 

Watch light updates?  2265 replacement and 2215 blinding lamp

***New work orders submitted 10/4. Keeping an eye on 2265. Update:  resident at 2269 sent email about blinking watchlight on his corner – may be the same lamp?

There hasn’t been much success in getting Dominion to come out and look at the issues we are having. Or if they do the problem seems to come back shortly after. There is also still the issue of the lamp without panes. Kristina will reach out to Erin to see if the RA is able to assist.

Deck renovations – materials and colors; Door colors and styles; new approved siding colors/trim capping

Community outreach – sent out via hard copy Wheelwrighter, email, and updated tap on website

DRB -Deck guidelines will be mentioned during the annual meeting, but we are not expecting to have a full discussion. Information materials have been sent out but no one has addressed any concerns with the proposed changes. 

Tree work/Tree committee

Steve Weissman has resigned from the Tree Committee. Mike Pendleton is thinking about signing on and acting as chair of the committee. Jeffrey Cai and Kerry Wingell will continue on as members of the committee

Scheduled work with J&L on December 11th – will be coordinated and carried through by the tree committee members – Board will be available if needed

The tree committee will be responsible only for the trees in the neighborhood that pose potential hazards to life and property – this may include removal of trees, topping trees or pruning back trees that are intrusive and potentially destructive to property.

The board will be responsible for smaller trees in the neighborhood that require aesthetic pruning/trimming as these fall into the category of general landscaping.  If one of these smaller trees needs to be evaluated due to possible danger to life or property, it will then be referred to the tree committee.

Precarious tree behind 2224/2226 – Awaiting call from Peter at J&L trees to ask some questions and get an official quote for bringing down the tree.  Tree Committee to get a second (and maybe 3rd opinion) from another company.

One company quoted $2,700 and said they would be able to take down the tree immediately. 

Parking lot

Reached out to Jay from RA – have not yet heard back, probably a long shot

Also waiting to hear back from Pavement Designs, LLC

Landscaping 

Issues?  There have been some issues with work being done on houses that didn’t request work to be done. 

There have also been concerns about grass seed being laid and then the landscaping company coming and using the same space to stage materials, ruining the previous work that was done. 

Swale installation has been completed.

Garbage/Recycling

Issues?

Attendees: Kelly, Cyndi, Kristina, Kayleen, Sarah Keally, Sandy

Community updates

Erosion

Swale installation DRB submitted – waiting to hear back

French drain installation along with 2231 path – DRB application in progress Kristina is working on getting pictures and signatures from affected neighbors for the application.

Concrete

Date of service – Tuesday 9/7  Will still need to coordinate with owners doing reno at 2245. Cyndi talked with the company and noted which homeowners will need to move cars. They also suggested other spots that may want to move their cars to avoid possible damage by loose cement flying throughout the process.  Board will reach out to 2245, 2247 and 2249 to notify them of the 9/7 date for the sidewalk repair that is happening from 2245 to 2247 that links to the tot lot path as this will block access to these houses temporarily. Also, need to ask owners at 2249 and 2251 if they can move their car so the generator can be put in their spot. The railing is currently in manufacturing, and will be installed by a separate company.  Cyndi does not believe the install of the railing will be the same week, but will reach out to get a date of when it will be installed. Once a date has been determined the Board will notify owners of 2245, 2247 and 2249. 

 Watch light by 2265

Cyndi called but was not able to talk with anyone. She plans to call again to be able to talk to a real representative. She wants to discuss and look at a light that was previously replaced with a very bright light. She wants to see if there are alternatives to the extra bright light. Sandy mentioned a conversation she had with Mike about the potential option of making the lights solar based. Mike has reached out to the RA to see if it is a possibility. Will follow up in the September HOA meeting. 

Siding updates

DRB submitted Sandy talked with Erin (new covenants advisor) and Meghan and they believe everything  seems good with the DRB application. However, the RA has started a two tier system in which smaller items can be taken care of by the covenant advisor and bigger items go to the RA DRB. However, the RA DRB has the ability to take over any item from the covenant level. To ensure that this does not cause a hold up in the DRB application, Erin has put us on the schedule for the September RA DRB meeting, so that a ruling can be made quickly. Erin asked for some additional items such as community photos and copies of meeting notes. Sandy sent those off and is going to check in to make sure they’ve got everything.

Door updates

Community input? Plan for going forward? 

Sandy discussed with Erin the door color options as well as the decorative glass options. She discussed how we are submitting a large number of colors to help future proof the design as it is easier to take colors away from the design guidelines than it is to add more. After presenting her slides they seemed on board with the idea. The current plan is to present at the October RA DRB meeting. 

Before the meeting we want to get more community input on doors via a survey. This will help the application move along faster if we have community buy in. Board plans to send out slides and a survey through multiple sources (i.e. email, Facebook, wheelwright website). The board wants to get as much feedback as possible and ensure that everyone has been properly notified. 

Sandy also mentioned wanting to clean up our guidelines to reflect things we are actually approved for. She also wants to start looking through all sections of the guidelines to clean up and adjust and update some of the smaller items, like house numbers.  Sandy will present these during the October meeting. 

One of the larger items she wants to look into is to get bids for garbage bins and front overhang areas. We will probably have to get an architect to draw that up. Kelly will reach out to see if she knows anyone that can help with planning. 

Parking lot – asphalt updates

Kristina to present for board/community discussion in September

Landscaping 

Issues?

Should we seek bids from other companies? Sandy reached out to Chris and sent him an email covering our concerns about the weight of the equipment and things starting to look dingy. He has not responded. Sandy will try reaching out again.

The board will look into getting bids from other companies. This will help to give a point of reference on the possible cost and see if the community is interested enough for the possible increase. It was also discussed whether personal landscaping should be taken out of the budget and each homeowner will be responsible for the upkeep of their own land. In the past, this has led to overgrown unkempt yards.  Cyndi made the point that those who do not have a lawn, subsidize the cost of personal lawn upkeep by paying higher dues for this service.  This will most likely be a point of conversation at the annual meeting. 

Garbage/Recycling

Issues?

Overall there have been no new issues reported and we have not heard of trash and recycling being combined again. There have been black bags left on the curb from gutter cleanings that weren’t picked up when first put out, but were eventually grabbed. 

Tree inspection 

JLL Tree Proposal

Steve and Kerry took Kristina around and showed her the big issues.  There are a few high priced items. First is the Oak tree by bus path on the edge of Old Crafts. It is on our property and it is dead and needs to be removed. We are not sure where or how they would get parking spots on old crafts. Steve is looking into it. 

A tree in the rear of 2267 is very dead and leaning toward the houses. It is a high ticket item

An oak tree behind 2207 is not large but is completely dead. It is mostly leaning away from houses but isn’t holding up well.

There is a tree near 2231  that needs pruning. 

The oak tree in front of 2230 continues to be a concern. They have been keeping their eye on it for the past  few years and the arborist feels like it’s not going to get better and it is a large tree on a small peninsula.  

There is a large tree on the island in the lower cluster that has branches at the top that need to be pruned. The arborist is not worried about the tree as whole but the tree would be healthier if the dead limbs were removed.

The estimated price is $13,600 but there is an option to take $750 off if they do not remove stump grindings. The neighborhood could use the stump grindings but we need to figure out how they would be transported to the areas that need them. We can also get $1,100 off if we postpone the non urgent work until the winter. We are ok pursuing the recommended work but we need a priority list of what needs to be done immediately and what can be postponed until we can get the winter discount.

Summer community cookout? Postponed due to weather

New date? Board decided to cancel the “summer cookout” due to high transmission rates but may decide to continue with the cluster clean up cookout in October depending on covid numbers in our community.  

Dennis has a grill he would like to donate to cluster Cyndi can keep the grill on her back deck for now. 

Will collect items for cornerstones during cluster cleanup cookout

Neighborhood donation pickup – Weekend of October 16th 

Kristina will look into Lupus foundation or Amvets – on to do list

Annual meeting

Room at RCC has been reserved pending payment

Financials

Continuation of discussion about fiscal health and early planning for 2022 budget.

Replacement Tree.
The board will let Merrifield decide the species of tree to replace the dead tree by the Oliver’s.

Parking Lot Work.

Additionally, Fairfax County stated that while they would not remove vehicles from Olde Crafts, the Park Authority will allow parking in the South Lakes Drive Park parking lot during the sealcoating.

The board will post flyers regarding the sealcoating on Sunday, August 6th.

Tree Removal.
In a 5-0 vote, the board approved Elliot to pursue a $4,000 bid from Tree60 to remove the one RA approved tree behind 2219 and to look into pruning and removal options with the other tree behind 2221. Additionally, the bid listed a shrub and another tree behind 2276 that were both proposed to be removed. Elliot will also investigate this.

Cluster Audit and Accountants.
Genelle received three local bids which stated Quickbooks would not be a problem and the work could be completed in one to two days. Also, Easton mentioned that the current tax accountant is having difficulty handling basic interest statements.

Financials.
Easton stated there were no major issues.

The next meeting will be Thursday, August 24th at 8PM. It will be held at 2274.

Fall Cleanup

The fall cleanup date is Saturday, November 12th.  The board decided to address the following at the fall cleanup: mulch the bus path, stain the remaining bench, pick up trash, remove the dead tree by Manuel’s house, and remove the limb overhanging the tot lot.  The Social Committee has a budget of $300-400 for food and drinks for after the cleanup.

Landscaping

There are still complaints about the landscapers cutting the grass too closely in some areas with riding mowers.  Dennis will call to remind them to use hand mowers.

Social Committee

Sarah and Jessica reported highlights from the last Social Committee meeting.  There were suggestions from the committee to provide a message board for contractor recommendations, help with projects, as well as snow removal.  The board also asked the Social Committee to determine if a budget would be necessary to plan further social activities.

Communication from the Board

Due to the lack of visits on the cluster Facebook page and website, the board authorized the purchase of a sandwich board to be placed at the cluster entrance.  The sandwich board will be displayed in advance of cluster events, announcing the fall cleanup, board meetings, and the annual meeting.  Additionally, a Wheelwrighter will be distributed within the next 30 days to announce the fall cleanup as well as the annual meeting.

Parking Lot

Genelle has one quote for crack sealing and is obtaining two more.  She is also obtaining bids for concrete work.

Trees

Following the walkaround, the board decided to hold off on further discussions on moving any of the newly planted trees due to the time and effort involved.  Bids are still being solicited for the stump removal behind Carrie’s house.  The board decided to cut down two dead trees behind Mike and Kerry’s house; the contractor’s cost estimate was roughly $400.

Next Meeting

The next meeting will be Monday, October 24th at 7:30PM at RCC.  Heather will present a draft Code of Ethics which will be a proposed amendment to the bylaws in December.

Reston Community Center, 7:30 PM

Board Members in Attendance:

– Elliott Wild
– Karen Reese
– Heather Maddox
– Dennis Schulte
– Matt Keally
– Manuel Torres

Opening Remarks

Due to some disagreements between board members Dennis opened the meeting with a statement that he wished the board can move forward to address new business.  To that end, Heather introduced a motion to develop a code of ethics to be added to the bylaws.  A draft version is to be developed by the October meeting.  Elliot, Matt, and Heather voted to support the motion.

Officers

Heather stepped down as president but will remain on the board.  Elliot will become the new president until at least the annual meeting, while Matt will become secretary.

Trees

Merrifield Gardening planted replacement trees in early August.  Carrie brought up that some of the trees were planted in locations unsuitable for large trees.  She also brought up that several stumps from the original trees were not removed and presented a hazard.  Genelle brought up that a tree limb was dangerously overhanging the tot lot.  The board invited all who were interested to walk around the cluster to survey the completed tree work and provide input as to how to address the stumps and remaining tree hazards.  Elliott set the date for the walkaround for Sunday, August 28th at 2PM.

Parking Lot Resealing

Elliott mentioned he had one bid for parking lot resealing, however, he wanted several more bids.  Two companies he contacted would not reseal a parking lot they did not originally pave themselves.  Genelle said she would identify more paving and sealing contractors and provide the names to Elliott.  Carrie and several others discussed re-adding a motorcycle parking space in the lower cluster that had previously been eliminated.  Genelle also said she would help coordinate an effort to fix cracking concrete sidewalks around the cluster, identifying homeowners who would like concrete work done in order to reduce costs to individual homeonwers via one large job.

Parking

Carrie stated her disagreement with a letter she received from Heather regarding parking of her husband’s truck.  Manuel also voiced his displeasure of the board’s monitoring of expired registration and inspection stickers.  The board members stated that they will cease all vehicle policing for the indefinite future.

Rats

Several residents reported rat sightings.  Karen will work to identify a pest control company.

Future Meetings

The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 26th at 7:30PM at RCC.  The board also scheduled a budget planning meeting for Monday, November 21st.

  • Manuel Torres, Treasurer

Also in attendance: N/A

Old Business

  • Website. The Board decided to hold off on doing a demo of the website until all Board members were present.  Access –who resets/approves users? The Board had a lengthy discussion concerning security of the site.
  • Parking Registration Form.  The Board examined and discussed an online form Heather had put together. The form appeared very well put together. The Board debated the need for such a form and how the community may receive such a form.
  • Tree replacement/health bids. Manuel shared that we had approximately $6,000 left for tree maintenance. And $1,200 for tree removal. The Care of Trees quoted $980 to remove two troubled trees behind Mike’s house. The Board will explore the possibility of JL removing them and also taking care of the logs they left behind from the last work they did.  The Board voted 3-1 in favor of fertilizing the three large oaks lining the entrance to the community at a cost of $425.
  • Winter Weather Service. The Board voted unanimously to hire Frontier as the provider for snow removal service.
  • Parking lot resealing bids/concrete work-assigned to Elliot. Dennis did some research, and it seems like grinding and milling parking lots is typically only done about every 15 years. Our last milling was done around 2008-9. Elliot will still get a sealing quote from ProPave and at least one other competitor.
  • Cluster Cleanup Follow-up. The Board discussed the success of the spring cluster cleanup and the excellent job done by the social committee.  The Board also discussed the supplies owned by the Board, and that there were not enough out in circulation to bother creating a tracking spreadsheet. Heather put together a shopping list in an effort to streamline the shopping for future Board/Social Committee members.
  • Erosion control-look at areas and revisit in fall. The Board also discussed things which could be done to proactively mitigate erosion, such as trimming low limbs on trees near erosion sites.
  • The Board discussed how frequently registration tags should be checked in the community and how that should be handled.
  • A resident requested the Board conduct an audit. The Board discussed the possibility and how much it might cost. The Board agreed that this was worthy of pricing CPAs and considering at a future meeting.
  • Tree Replacement.  The Board agreed to consider bids from multiple tree replacement services. RA requires Wheelwright to replace 8 trees. The Board will vote via email.
  • Intuit- Financials. Intuit has indicated they will begin charging a monthly fee to the Cluster. Manuel and the Board are going to look into other services.
  • Dennis suggested we discuss cords and buried cords at the next meeting. Heather shared that she spoke with Comcast, and that they have already been the community and will be working to rectify the unburied cord situation.

Next Meeting

The next meeting will be on Monday, June 6 th , 2016, at 8:00pm at Elliot’s at 2274 Wheelwright Ct.
