5. Committee Reports

B. Parks Committee Report by Annie Berger, Chairperson. The comments from the annual neighborhood survey were given to Foothills. Annie Berger stated that the HoA needed decide what they would like to have done with the matching funds program this year. The maximum amount is $7,500. The top requests were: finish the boarder around the playground in W. Laurel Ave. Park; increase the basketball court in Wayside Meadows to a full court; replace the asphalt path from the playground in W. Laurel Ave. Park to David Dr. with concrete; fix the second bridge west of Wadsworth which keeps flooding; and replace the composite benches and tables in Wayside Meadows with no-maintenance powder coated mesh steel. A vote was taken and the three top choices in order of preference were to fix the bridge, replace Laurel path with concrete, and replace benches with maintenance free materials. The list will be submitted to Foothills. It was suggested and agreed to that the roof at the eastern end of the walkway to Pierce will be removed and replaced to match the rest of the walkway.
It was brought up that many homeowners in Chatfield Estates (southern end of the neighborhood) feel there has not been a lot done to their area. The area along the perimeters of Chatfield Estates is not owned by Foothills and therefore does not qualify for the matching funds program. The HoA has been holding in its saving account approximately $7,000 for an entrance sign at Upham and Chatfield. The board has held off on doing anything until they know the outcome of the King Soopers development and the possible closure of Upham St. Any suggestions from homeowners as to what they would like to see done are welcome by any board member, we would like your input!
A letter will be sent from the HoA asking the Church on S. Pierce to please move their shed to a less obvious spot.
