(puddle) has to be cut back flush with the wall.
c. Pump impellers to be modified and re-installed.

signs have been removed. New signs are ready for installation. Marvin
Smart has volunteered to install the new sea gate signs, wind
permitting, and as soon as his barge is available.
-
PCCOA sent a letter to Live Oak Concrete Company asking them to refrain from
washing out concrete trucks on the common property (circa Dolphin and Bay).
- The
landscaping at the corners of Tarpon and Pompano have been resolved; the
trees have been pruned in order to give clear visibility to traffic
traveling both streets..

resolved.

Architectural Control Committee
-
113 Mackerel Court.
Block 2 lot 10 – pass first PCCOA inspection and the elevation certificate
has been placed on file; construction has begun.
-
109 Bluefish Court
Block 7 lot 13 – construction is moving along well, several residents have
made positive comments regarding Builder keeping a neat and tidy work site.
- 838
Bay Street Block 11 lot 23 – - Remodeling is going ahead. The project had to
be halted until the property owners obtained the required approval for a
pool. The ACC will make a final inspection of the pool.
- ACC
asked that the issue of portable outbuilding on docks and in yards be tabled
until the next meeting giving the board time to assess the situation.
- The
property owners at 114 Sailfish Court were asked to explain their concerns
regarding nuisance lighting. Mr. Thomason explained his concerns over
bright dock lights and large spotlights being left on all night. These
lights cause a disturbance to other property owners. The board agreed that
some kind of regulation would be hard to impose but that a courtesy letter
would be sent to all property owners asking them to be neighborly and turn
off lights at a reasonable hour.
- Mr.
Thomason also requested a variance for an existing fence at the rear of his
property. The 6-foot fence exceeds the allowable height by approx. 6 inches
at the highest point due to the grade of the ground.
A motion
was made to approve a variance for the fence at 114 Sailfish Court provided
there are no objections from affected neighbors.
Moved:
Jimmy Raper
Seconded: Joe Seburn
All approved
A letter
will be sent to 4 close neighbors to ask their concurrence.
8. The
President stated that he had acquired two estimates for clearing the brush on
the common lot.
Motion
was made to hire a contractor at the lower estimate of $1900 and approve the
clearing of the common lot provided that;
·
all brush is
removed and
·
the property is
left in a way that can be easily kept tidy and mowed by lawn mower.
Moved:
Joe Seburn
Seconded: Pat Walters
All approved
Once the
property is cleared additional bids will be obtained for the monthly mowing, in
order to make a comparison with the current mowing contractor.
