Pool Rules Review • Discussion with BOD this year from homeowners regarding existing pool rules • BOD reviewed existing pool rules with attorney, who is comfortable with our rules. • Better than many other HOAs, no changes needed • Pool Guests • Parties with more than 4 guests require approval of pool committee and $100 deposit. • Please submit at least 1 week in advance • Guests may not utilize any amenity, especially the pool, unescorted • Many instances of members giving their pool key to non-members for unescorted use of the pool • This is a huge liability issue and is strictly forbidden
Operation Slow Down • BOD contacted Forsyth County Engineering Office to discuss options to slow down traffic in the neighborhood • Two Options Identified: • Speed Bumps • Drivers can maneuver around and/or continue to speed over speed humps with no penalty • Speed humps could pose as a nuisance to current homeowners and steer away future home buyers • Stop Signs • Recommended by the FCEO as the most legally enforceable method of slowing traffic • Stop signs installed, funded & maintained by Forsyth County until replaced by AOD • County agreed to install 1 or 2 "Watch for Children" signs at their expense • Next Steps • BOD approved the process to solicit the community for a petition on this issue • 51% of IFHOA members must sign the petition before FC will take action • Table in back of room • If Approved, FC will • Create 3 way stops at: • Ivey Falls Dr & Ivey Oaks Rd • Ivey Oaks Rd & Ivey Crossing Trail • Install the “Watch for Children” signs
