Management reported that the Association was served a summons to
answer a complaint by the Board of Managers of Hidden Lake Townhome
Owners Association.
Management shared correspondence from and to the Village of Lisle
Manager relating to the entrance at Tyrnbury. This spring the Village
will ask an independent professional to perform an assessment of the
pine trees in that area and subsequently share those results with the
GTIA.
Management inquired if the Board would like to purchase evergreens for
the nursery from the Kane-DuPage tree sale. The general consensus was
to again purchase approximately 100 of the larger size transplants;
suggested varieties included White Pine, Colorado Blue Spruce and/or
Black Hills Spruce. Gerry Jackson volunteered to pickup the selections
when they are available.
Winters Nurseries suggested that they plant Linden, Hackberry, Gingko
and Autumn Blaze Maple deciduous trees along College Road. Management
will ask Winters if they would also transplant smaller trees from the
nursery. It was agreed that the Maintenance Committee will research
and present ideas to possibly budget for a professional landscape
architect or present a cost share proposal to implement a long-range
landscaping master plan for College Road to share with GTIA
residents.
Management submitted copies of a resident’s correspondence, and a
response from the Village of Lisle. The resident expressed his
concerns about the proposed cell provider antenna to be installed at
the water tower behind his property. The Village of Lisle Public
Works Department is working with U. S. Cellular to respond to these
concerns.
