Townhouse fences have not been cleaned or painted for many years.
Boiler Service both buildings.
Service Heating Ssystem prior to
September 15th. To avoid any unforeseen problems in heating season.
Garbage Smells.
I have visited Aston (Mews?) and
checked out their garbage areas in both buildings they no longer use their
chutes, I spoke with a couple of people that live there and there does not seem
to b any problem with delivering their garbage directly to the bin.
Maybe we should revisit this idea.
Susi tells me that when garbage
comes down the chute in a Safeway type bags it many times rips open by the time
it reaches the bin. Personally I
have stopped using the chute and bring my garbage down to the bin.

Susie 8900 Laundry Room flood
problem, drain is higher than floor.
July 12th
meeting no action taken
Update July 19th
from Susi
Hello,
The Roto Rooter episode!!
There was a blockage in the drain (Door knob) but it was there
for the sole purpose of keeping the water from coming up through the drain and
flooding the laundry room!!! He snaked it twice and no other line
blockage. Bottom line.....the current
1 1/2 in. drain pipe should be min. 4in. to accomodate the 6 machines.
Choices? Change to larger diameter drains...or leave drain as is and it
only floods the store room....or try front loaders again.....or bigger better
signs!!!
Susi
General Note. It would be really helpful if we had the plumbing
drawings for the laundry room connections.
I requested several weeks ago that all available drawings be returned to
the office in 8900, In additional
Dave is looking into getting a complete new set.

Maple
tree outside front door 8640 needs to be removed.
Too close to building
Wouter DeVires will remove in September
if we approve) no cost to us.
Jackie thought she
might like to take this tree to her property off site, after looking at it she
decided not to but thought the tree should remain where it is.
Please note the
following:
I strongly
disagree that this tree remain where it is or even on our property, to leave
this tree where it is to condemn it to a miserable life. This tree is improperly
planted and needs to be removed.
Functions of trees
Shade
Trees are most frequently planted for shade. The most important shade tree on
home grounds is usually located near the southwest corner of the house. If
placed properly, it will shade the house during the latter part of the afternoon
in summer. Trees provide better shade than artificial structures. Air passing
through the branches is cooled by transpiration from the leaves.
Distance
Depending on the mature size of the tree, the distance it is set
from the house will control the amount of shade given in a certain area. A tree
50 feet high with a 30-foot spread will cast a shadow equal to the tree height
at 3 to 4 p.m. in midsummer. But in winter, the shadow at the same time of day
will be 120 feet long. To get the most useful shade on the house at a practical
distance,
place the tree 15 to 20 feet from the
house. Small trees may be planted closer than 15 feet, but large trees should be
planted 20 feet or more away from the house.
Location
If the house faces south, or southeast, maximum shade on the front will come
from a tree that is placed to the southwest, or left front. If the house faces
southwest, a tree for maximum shade would have to be placed centrally and south
of the house (Figure 1). Make a diagram of your house and sketch trees with
their shade patterns to determine the best locations.

And there dozens of other sites also
covering distance from buildings trees should be planted.
Lets get a vote on this at the next meeting on having this tree removed. And go
back to the Wouter plan. Which will have
the tree removed in September.
