Highlights of the January, 2010 Deercreek Country Club Owners Association BOARD MEETING
The following is a summary only.
There was discussion about the speed bumps that were recently installed following the paving in the south natural area. The following comments were offered:
- The speed bumps installed are made for neighborhood roads like ours, i.e. "low speed roadways" which includes 30 mph roads.
- Every speed bump in this community is handmade and is different. Over time every speed bump in this community will "wear down" to the point that they are no longer effective.
- The speed bumps installed are manufactured to an industry standard and are "new" and at a height that is sold for this purpose. Anything less is a subjective - judgment on how high, how deep, etc.
- If you go over them at a high rate of speed, you will experience issues - That is what they are designed to do! The bumps are designed for 5 - 10 mph and the humps are designed for 10 - 20 mph speeds.
- Lowering the speed bumps would at some point become ineffective as a speed deterrent and would become only a slight road impediment.
- Among 688 homeowners, it will be difficult to reach consensus on this issue.
- The Board thoroughly discussed the speed bumps with respect to whether they should be retained or removed. Two motions failed before the following motion was approved:
Remove the speed bump and replace with speed hump.
Mary Stelbrink was unanimously approved as the Chair of the Common Property Committee. Danny Becton asked all board members to talk to residents about joining committees that are in dire need for volunteers. Common Property and Communications have the greatest need. The Chair, in order to address this issue, created an Ad-Hoc committee of "Committee Membership" with Board volunteers Doug Klippel and George Partin volunteering to lead this effort. A monthly report to the board will be requested. The next meeting of the Board of Directors is scheduled for February 25, 2010 at 7:00 p.m., at Deercreek Country Club.

A Senior (we hate that word, but you have to be 50.....and it really is the new 40 right?) 7.5 Tennis team, captained by Cheryl Rowan, was formed at Deercreek. The team played three courts and had one 4.0 player and one 3.5 player on each court. The concept was unique and enjoyed by all players. |
