3. Sunset parcel update

Irrigation-
The concept is a good one, but the details are not complete enough.
They are going to do the berm and tap into our system.
The original plan does not give us gallons per minute per zones or what equipment will be used. A new plan was received today and we hope that it will provide the necessary details.
They are requesting irrigation approval. This will be reclaimed water.

4. Kylemont Pond

Nothing's been done. Issue is that the brush needs to be cleared back from the pond.Discussions started in Aug of '04. In Sept there was an on site visit with Kylemont's president. Lots of communication with Kylemont. The brush is preventing access to the pond. The President is saying that it will be done by the end of the month. President of Kylemont is invited to come to a maintenance meeting. Her accusations are that no other HOA has their plans approved.

Kylemont Berm Plan
Their Plan has been reviewed and approved.

5. Quail Lake

Medium and Two Sides landscaping plan

4 Benches and stepping stones are requested to be put in the medium. Benches in the medium could present some safety issues. Some plants were not drought tolerant or freeze resistant and have a good chance of failing. The plants that they are proposing need to meet the "Florida Fancy" requirement.
The Benches would not be recommended in a medium. Stu is available to discuss their landscaping plan, if they would like.

6. Lake Front Exit

Cars with Trailers have a hard time getting out of the park. They have to exit over the grass or over the curb.
Suggestion is to fill in the grassy area that they drive on with gravel right before the exit so that damage is limited.

7. LMA Website

Do we want your email address listed?
Board members will have their email addresses posted.

Tim Bryce is paid $300 to manage and add anything that is needed. Two people have volunteered to help with the website. Perhaps a direct link from the LMA website to the individual HOA websites?
The Board discussed if the minutes should be posted to the website. It was decided that we will post the minutes, after they are approved at the following Board meeting.

7. East Lake Fire Dept.-

The East Lake Fire Dept. has request to use the Lake Front Park for their annual picnic. The event is sometime in June. The Board approved the request, and instructed Melrose Management to collect a $300 deposit.
