Engineer
Morris reported that within the past week, Joseph Palermo, developer of The
Eagles, Phase 2, satisfied the requirements approved by the Board at last
week’s meeting. Mr. Palermo
submitted a $1,000.00 check for the deposit fund as requested, and a $5,000.00
check as remaining financial security for the FDB and walking trails in Phase 1.
Items completed last week were the removal of silt fence and debris
throughout Phase 2. Engineer Morris
recommended withholding the $5,000.00 check as financial security for completion
of the other items. Mr. Kujawa
emphasized that Phase 2 is before the Board today, not Phase 1.
Attorney Adair asked Engineer Morris if he is simply confirming with the
Board that the conditions set by the Board last week for allowing a reduction in
the amount of financial security for Phase 2 have been complied with.
Engineer Morris confirmed that.
Mr. Kujawa reminded him that the Board is only considering Phase 2 today.
Dr. Shivers said the Association recognized Tim Wells’ letter of
conformity – it is a construction letter, not a function letter.
All the Association expects is a dry pond that they can maintain.
He addressed Attorney Adair with the question of when his ruling on what
the standards will be for the walking trail.
Attorney Adair said he does not decide what the final configuration of
walking trails will be—the Supervisors will determine what, if any,
modifications from the original design for the walking paths are going to be
allowed. The Board understands the
need for clarity on this issue. If
the Association does not meet with Mr. Palermo soon, he will put in the wood
chip trail and leave as told to Association members by Mr. Palermo.
Dr. Shivers said they need to know specifically what the trail would be
constructed as or would be required to be constructed as because the trail, as
Mr. Palermo has proposed, is uninsurable and unmaintainable.
Mr. Kujawa indicated the Board would discuss the matter with Attorney
Adair on Thursday.

Kujawa presented the Building Construction Report for May as follows:
