  1. Guest concerns addressed:
    • Grills on decks clarified:
    • A gas grill that uses one pound (or smaller) bottles is acceptable. Two additional 1 pound tanks may also be stored on the deck.
    • A gas grill used as a charcoal grill is not acceptable.
      • The Board waived the Violation Fee for one Owner who received violations but proved that they meet the legal criteria for grills. The Fee for another Owner will be waived if the resident complies by the end of the month.
      • Another fee was waived because it was a first violation; a warning should have been given first. Any subsequent violation will require a fine.
      • Trash around the dumpsters continues to be a problem.
      • Mortgage Loan Company billed their Mortgage holders for July's special assessment after telling the Board that the Board should collect the assessment. Duplicate payments received by Seven Springs will be returned directly to the owners.
      • Problems need to be addressed either with the board or our Agent, Condo Care, not with the on-site maintenance personnel. The preferred method is to call Condo Care at (303)850-7766 and leave a detailed message with a call-back number.
      • The brick wall near J Building is collapsing and in need of attention.
      • An owner suggested that the Violation Form should more specifically address the issue, especially when the owner is not living in the unit.
      • Moving in and our of some building is difficult due to the limited access from the parking lots. A "loading zone" was suggested and will be considered.
    • Approved June meeting minutes as amended.

    • Regarding bids:

      • The bids to replace the wall on the south side of the main parking lot with concrete or landscape blocks are very expensive. Bids will be requested to simply replace the timbers. This item is not part of the budget and would be funded from Reserves.
