On Tuesday, April 7, 2020, Native Restorations were able to perform a controlled burn on part of Area 2, but not all of Area 2 or Area 1 and Area 3, due to the winds that kicked up before the storms came through. They said next week looks like no rain at all so he is anticipating completing all of the burns on Monday (April 13) or Tuesday (April 14). They also said what we were able to burn did burn really well.

  • Real Estate Tax Appeal Proposal Update
Expected by late April should hear something from the attorney’s. I asked if we can submit recent sales as comparable values, but it is too late for that this year. 
 
  • Open forum
it was mentioned that there are a lot of dead bushes in the common areas. We are inquiring with the Lake County Forest Preserve to see if it is too late to order bushes through the sale they facilitate. Board members will schedule a walkthrough of the property, along with Jerry Herb to assess how many bushes are dead and need replacing. 
 
Requesting if pond maintenance could start in April, Sarah will call a contractor. 
 
It was asked if individual homeowners can remove buckthorn in common areas and replace them with privacy bushes and hedges. It is perfectly acceptable to remove buckthorn in common areas and replace them with privacy bushes and hedges. The Lake County Forest Preserve provided a brochure on native bushes and hedges for this area.  
 
A homeowner asked if we could place a sign at the front of the subdivision to alert homeowners before a meeting, as an additional way to get the word out about a meeting. We will place a sign before the next meeting. 
 
Some homeowners expressed concern about a pool that is up that poses a safety concern as well as aesthetics concerns. Pools without a fence are in violation of the Village of Green Oaks ordinances. This will be addressed by the Village of Green Oaks. 
 
Justin Berger provided an update on the Road re-pavement. It is scheduled for this year, although when might be uncertain due to COVID-19.
