COMMITTEE REPORTS

ARC–       
ARCC-    Chris Brogan indicated that there was no activity since the last meeting for ARC and ARCC.

LANDSCAPE –
Ray McDermott reported on purchasing the materials for the outlets and lights at the entrance.   The cost is $192.13 in which  he has been reimbursed.  The work will start shortly.
 

OLD BUSINESS-
Pepper Tree Follow up- Ray McDermott indicated that the Saretsky’s have secured a survey of their property line which includes all of the fence but the last two- ten foot sections.

It was explained that the area (tract g) was not part of the original COP subdivision and  is not a naturally flowing water body.  It was originally a source of water for the citrus growers.  Lennar  deeded  the tract over to the subdivision.  Since the fence is the property of the Saretsky’s, the repair has been put on hold.  The Saretsky’s will be completing an ARA to replace the fence.  If COP replaces the last two sections, it was discussed that it should be removable for access and repairs.

Bobcat- Jim Cooper discussed the presence of the feline with a private trapper who indicated that the cat is no longer in the area.  Chris did some enquiries to trap the cat which would have been lengthy and costly.
 
NEW BUSINESS -
New Yard Legislation- Discussion followed on the new legislation requiring Florida friendly landscape. “ It is Florida’s way of stopping the use of using city water.” The BOD acknowledged that it will be difficult to enforce some of the governing Copperfield document guidelines.
