President’s Report:

President asked for the minutes of the April 6 meeting be approved. Motion made, seconded and approved.

The President introduced Mr. Futey who presented the concerns property owners regarding a drainage problem at Land End. Per Mr. Futey, rain water and debris is running from the Philips property on the north side of Carrollton, under Carrollton Road through the culvert and onto a strip of property owned by Mr. Ochs. This water in turn runs into Lake Ogleton. The debris that flows through the culvert has been damning up causing the water to floods onto Mr. Futey’s property and also allows standing water to accumulate, creating a potential breeding ground for mosquito’s. The property owners would like to see some fix made. Following discussion the President noted that some temporary fix will be investigated. However more aggressive means may not be readily available to the Community since this is private property which sits within the critical area zone and subject to strict County regulations. It was noted by Board members that this may be a recent phenomena created by the flooding from Hurricane Isabel. Board members who frequently walk through Lands End commented that they have never observed flooding or excessive standing water. The PWD was asked to research

The President informed the Board that an application has been submitted to FEMA for reimbursement of the clean-up cost of Hurricane Isabel.

Treasurer’s Report:

Treasurer provided the Board with updated financials. The Treasurer noted that at the end of April the Community had $28,182 remaining in the budget. This funding would be available to support all activities through the end of the June. It was noted that this funding historically is also needed to support Community activities through September or later, pending receipt of the next fiscal year budget funding.

PWD Report:

The PWD provided his report. The PWD presented a design to protect the shoreline of the overlook as developed by Flood Brothers Marine Consultants. This design would include a series of offshore revetments, perpendicular to the shoreline. The actual cost for this project is not available and would have to be developed by another contractor. However a permit application to the County would be necessary to precede and cost $575.00. A suggestion was made that the permit application be made to provide the Board sufficient flexibility to undertake this project if that is the Board eventual decision. Director Walsh moved to direct the PWD to contact Flood Brothers authorizing them to submit a permit application to the County. Motion was seconded and approved.

Old Business:

Annual meeting is scheduled for June 5.

Dumpster are scheduled for June 8^th through June 10^th

CES Security started to patrol the neighborhood today, May 4^th.

New Business:

Use of Community property: It was noted by various Board members the continued, unauthorized use of the triangle property at Lands End, specifically a permanently parked boat. It was suggested that the President contact the owner of the boat and ask that it be removed. It was noted that other Community properties are being used for various purposes without the consent of the Board. Director Vaughn recommended that the Board develop and adopt a Policy that would clearly spell out the appropriate use of Community property.

Vice-President’s Report:

No report.

Community Development Committee:

Chairperson noted that the land use survey result would be completed soon and provided to the Board.

Next Board meeting is the Annual Community summer meeting scheduled for June 5.
