5. Items Discussed:
- Football game parking. Can we charge for parking? Should we buy no parking signs? Emergency vehicles may not be able to get through if cars are parked on both sides of the street.
- Entrance ?– Bradford Pear trees are mature, getting too large, top-heavy, limbs prone to break. Trees may need to be replaced or branches thinned out. Trees need to be trimmed away from power lines. Also need to pressure wash the entrance. Do we want to pay for water sprinklers at the front entrance? Water is needed if we plan to plant flowers.
- How do we dispose of tree limbs/trash that won?’t fit in can? Pay Waste Management extra, haul to dump ourselves, or burn in place. Be respectful of others and weather conditions when burning debris.
- Leash law was discussed. Dogs should be fenced, not allowed to roam the neighborhood. Brenda Johnson has copy of leash law Resolution 90-8-27-15 dated 2/5/01, if you would like a copy.
- A traffic light will not be installed at the HWY 119 intersection. Traffic count is too low at present. All should slow down in neighborhood and observe the 20 m.p.h. speed limit. If you have visitors parking on the street, please don?’t allow parking on the cement covers to the storm drains, as these are fragile and can break from the weight of a car.
- Let?’s continue to observe the Oak Ridge covenants, keep homes/yards maintained, and be respectful of our neighbors, so that Oak Ridge continues to be a great place to live!
