On May 26th & 27th obnoxious behavior and excessive noise was emanating from Unit 718 in the early morning hours (2 to 3 a.m.).

Owner Requests:

Unit 736 (Dolan):
Construction issues:

1. Trash pickup impeded due to construction materials and equipment.
2. Parking availability.
3. Delivery of goods to units.
4. Unit owners placing large items such as mattresses & grilles out for pickup but not calling for large item pickup.

Frank Dean discussed these issues with Barbara Dolan. Frank has since contacted the trash removal drivers and has an agreement for the receptacles to be placed on the sidewalk for pickup. Frank explained the necessity of blocking access to the lot for liability and loss of work when cars are not moved. The issue of owners placing large items out for pickup and not calling for special pickup was addressed at the annual meeting. Everyone was advised that if this situation occurs they are to notify Mann Properties and they will schedule pickup and the association will be billed, i.e., you pickup the tab for your neighbors indiscretions.

Unit 726 (Russell):
Requested that the trusses and building materials be moved to the Super Fresh parking lot and brought back as needed.
Frank Dean advised Mr. Russell that getting approval from Super Fresh and moving the materials back and forth would be to time consuming and costly for the association not to mention the liability issues with having vehicles in the parking lot.
