CORRESPONDENCE
A. TAYLOR LAKE COURT – LICENSE AGREEMENT
James Melledy reported that there is no new information to report regarding the Licensing Agreement.
B. FAIRVIEW DRIVE PARKING ISSUES
Carol O’Donnell expressed her concern (also raised at the February 17, 2019 Annual Members’ Meeting) regarding the numerous parking problems on Fairview Drive. The matter was discussed at length with the observation that Fremont Township and the Lake County Sherriff’s Office has been contacted multiple times regarding the problems, with no current resolution. Some items discussed included the possibility of installing “No Street Parking” signs on sections of Fairview Drive or WSPC issuing “Homeowner Only” parking permits. Fred Aichele recommended including the Fremont Township, Lake County Sherriff, and/or Countryside Fire to be invited to a regular board meeting to discuss the issue in an effort to gain insight and recommendations on how to manage the parking issue. Nicki Sullivan and James Melledy will follow up on the matter. It was also discussed that a residence appears to have been subdivided into multiple units. The Lake County Building and Engineering division should be contacted regarding code enforcement and property complaints.
