Maintenance Report-David:  The Property Manager stated he ran the generator, checked wells, replaced gate arms and adjusted them, checked out dead trees and culverts, walked Maffly's property to assess the situation, found water running and turned the water off to the property, opened gates for homeowners, helped with the fire on Rosebush Drive, researched fire supplies for standpipes, cleaned up barbwire and performed various other “maintenance” jobs.  David stated that coming up soon he will remove the speedbumps, install t-posts and snow poles, working on bunker doors and the roof cap over the meters at the wells.  He stated that some dump valves need replacing.  He will be taking posts down on Triple Ridge before the snow comes. 

 

Culverts/roadwork – This subject was not discussed as the quote was not received prior to this meeting.

 

Fire supplies – Duquette Pines Association does not have a fire hose or nozzle.  After researching, we could get a hose setup, to have on hand, for a cost of $160.00.  Steven motioned to purchase the fire hose and nozzle.  Kurt seconded, all ayes.  There was discussion as to the threading of the fittings for the hose/nozzle.  The threading needs to be a “fire” type threading.

Erbe's carport – There was discussion as to the distance of the carport from the road and that there has to be another place to put the carport, on their property.  Kris motioned to deny the carport being placed in the area the Erbe’s are requesting.  Steve seconded, all ayes.

New Business:

 

Stubblefield Trees – Kurt viewed the property and talked with Mr. Stubblefield.  The property is under two (2) acres total and Mr. Stubblefield has 23 trees marked for removal.  Mr. Stubblefield stated he is concerned about the trees falling on his house.  Mr. Stubblefield stated that he talked to Alan Ward about removing them.  The Board reviewed the rendering that Kurt had on his laptop and discussed the removal.  The Board stated there are 8 trees that are close to the house that could be removed but the rest should not be removed as none of the trees are dead or diseased and that removing so many healthy trees all at once could possibly interfere with the natural ecosystem, not to mention that it is against the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the subdivision.  The debris from live trees, coupled with the debris he already has on his property, would create more of a fire hazard and bug problem for the subdivision.  Mr. Stubblefield stated he wants to have the trees removed asap.  Kurt motioned to not allow the removal of any trees.  Kris seconded, all ayes.

 

Fire Protocol – With the recent fire on Rosebush Drive, nobody on the Board was contacted when the fire was reported to 911.  Lisa B, spoke to the Sheriff and he will draft a protocol document for Duquette Pines.  Instructions for what to do in case of a fire and a fire supply box, with a hose and nozzle, will be put in the shed.

 

Adjourn:  The meeting was adjourned at 7:56 pm.  Next meeting will be November 6th.
