 Notes from the meeting:

 Planting and Design Committee:  

·   Janie reported that in early April the committee met with Larry Wiltshire from Shenandoah to discuss the seasonal plants for the entrances and the beds around the community center.  Larry drew up a detailed plan that includes annual plants for seasonal color, as well as suggestions for enhancing the beds with shrubs and perennial plantings.  A prioritzed plan was submitted to the Board on May 3.  As yet, approval of the plan has not come from the Board.

 Grounds and Landscape Sub-Committee:

·   Any resident who has an erosion or drainage problem needs to bring it to the attention of Sylva Southwell.  She will forward the concern to the County inspector, Mr. Brad Butler. 

·   County Supervisor George Schwartz is very interested in solving the erosion and drainage problems here in Falls Run.

 

Streets, Sidewalks, Etc. Sub-Committee:

·   Peggy reported that the Villa streets are  now paved.  There is some concern about all the debris from the paving that is scattered along the gutters.

·   Peggy sent a follow-up e-mail to Koger Management asking if any of the road and sidewalk defects listed in her report have been addressed.

 SWM Ponds and Walls Sub-Committee:

·   Work continues in and around the SWM ponds.  The bonds will not be released until the County is satisfied that the ponds and surrounding areas are stabilized.

·   Standing water in the SWM dry ponds are a concern because of the fear of West Nile Virus. 

   The next joint meeting Property and Grounds Committee meeting will be Thursday, June 8, at 1 pm.
