The January meeting will be held at Frederick Gas.

Open Forum - Julie said the contractor asked if he should go outside the scope of work when it comes to ice storms and clear more sidewalks than his contract calls for. There was a discussion and it was decided that the contractor should not go outside the scope of work. Lynn stated she feels the contractor should be responsible for clearing Christopher Crossing. Nick read the most recent newsletter that clarifies the responsibility of snow removal by the homeowners.

Lynn stated the Architectural Guidelines are final and official. The Architectural Committee wrote the guidelines and it should not be necessary for the board to be involved other than hearing any appeals on a request that has been denied. Lynn stated that due to disagreements over the guidelines the Association has lost some support from the community. She wants to encourage all homeowners to come to future meetings. She feels 2001 will be a much better year. She wants to set the tone for everyone to get along and run the meetings in a business manner. Lynn commented that Angie Toms had done an excellent job with the newsletter and the newsletters have been a good tool for getting information to homeowners and addressing problems.

Peggy Cline stated she has been visiting neighbors in the community and introducing herself as a new Board member and encouraging residents to attend meetings. Peggy also stated some cats in the community are running loose. Lynn asked that this issue be addressed in the next newsletter. Peggy stated adjacent neighborhoods have “scoop your poop” signs installed by the city and feels that North Crossing needs those types of signs. Peggy stated the intersection of Christopher Crossing and Timber Grove Road can be dangerous because the view is somewhat obstructed by a fence. Residents need to be cautious here.

Chuck Kilgore stated that Ausherman and their salesperson should be given the new guidelines.

Nick stated he appreciated the opportunity to serve on the Board the past two years and wished luck to all of the new Board members.
