The meeting was called to order at 7:42 p.m., by Julie Thompson, of Dominion Management Company.

The meeting minutes for the November 14, 2000, meeting were provided. Upon review of the minutes, Colin made a motion to approve the minutes. Teresa seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved. These minutes will be forwarded to Milagros V. Nguyen for inclusion on the web site.

Colin noted that the Committee met last Thursday night and are ready to put the two sections of the architectural guidelines together to form the draft document. He indicated that lot 31 has requested a freestanding shed, however, the committee is concerned about the size. It was noted that other sheds had been approved within the community and the committee would consider these approvals when reviewing this request. Sherry is attempting to find another candidate for the committee.

Mr. and Mrs. Kadahami attended the meeting to discuss the basketball hoop violation. They explained that when they purchased their home, they thought that placing the basketball hoop on the cul-de-sac would be a good place for the kids and did not realize that it was a problem. Julie explained that while at the end of the cul-de-sac might be appropriate, other basketball hoops within the community have had to be moved as complaints were received. It would not be good practices for the Association to overlook one basketball hoop when they enforced the removal of others. The Kadahami’s agreed to move the basketball hoop.

The Kadahamis also expressed their concerns for paving the street and the placement of a "No Outlet" sign. They were provided a brief update on each of these concerns.

It was noted that representatives of Madison Homes has been on site to review the status of the cracks in the streets. No contact was made by Madison Homes.

The Board of Directors continues to update the homeowner roster.

The neighborhood party was tabled until another time at which it could be scheduled.

Colin provided information on the costs associated with the set up and maintenance of the web site. He noted that there were some editing changes that needed to be made, however, the basic design is good. A brief discourse took place on the type of items that could be placed on the web site. Steve made a motion to authorize a check in the amount of $566.40, for Colin to set up a web site with the supervision of the Board of Directors. Teresa seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved.

Tony and Julie met with an electrical contractor. She provided a proposal in the amount of approximately $1,400.00, per entrance feature plus the cost to direct the electric to the site. Solar lighting was discussed. Steve volunteered to provide information on solar lighting.

Tony reported that he had spoken to representatives of INOVA regarding the re-zoning application before the Fairfax County Planning Commission. He set up an informational meeting to include representatives from INOVA, as well as the engineers who developed the plan.

Julie noted that the Board needed to schedule the annual meeting for the Association. After a brief discussion, March 15, 2001 was approved for the annual meeting.

Steve noted that there were several trees, in the common area between the houses, that had fallen down and presented a hazard. He asked Mark Green, of Green Enterprises to provide a proposal for the removal of same. It was decided that the cost would not be excessive and that Mark should go ahead with the removal in the interest of public safety.

Steve also noted that the light across from his house was inoperable. Julie indicated that she would contact Russell Rosenberger of Madison Homes to determine if this light has been turned over to the County.
