Listed in the “Motions” section on the Countryside website or copies are available in the office.
Lanai Enclosure: Many owners contacted the Committee to review the problem that occurs because when glass sliders need to be cleaned the panels must be lifted off their tracks which presents a safety hazard. The new policy adopts new standards for Glass
Enclosures on both the Ground and Upper Floors.
Architectural Change Form: A new one page form requiring the same information as
required on the two page form was adopted.
Regulations for Installing Swimming Pools: The policy protects the Master Assn. and
neighbors from possible damage by construction companies working on the project. Prior to installing a pool you must follow the new procedures.
FUTURE PROJECTS REPORT: Five projects were approved for the 2007-2008 budget year. They are in the process of completion. The Davis Boulevard Entrance has been enhanced with the final step of new Countryside lettering going up soon. Lighting around the Clubhouse Complex to beautify and improve security will be undertaken soon. The 5th Hole Restroom will be refurbished this summer with new fixtures, painting, flooring, etc. It was deemed impractical to replace the entire structure at this time. The Condition of our Lakes has improved with the addition of the Triploid Carp, an aerator will also be installed in one of the lakes to see if that improves the lake quality. In addition, a new lake management company has been hired and the lakes have improved significantly. Lake Bank Restoration projects for the lakes bank opposite the 16th and 17th fairways is now in progress.
The membership identified 5 areas for the committee to address in the 2008-2009 budget year. These will be presented to the Board during the budget process in June.
