generated.

updating the governing documents, CC&R and By-laws, $15,000 were allocated.
c. Motion to “Pre-pay half of 2014

6. Old Business:
a. President Grobbel updated the Board
on groundwater contamination.
i.
Ford
Motor Co. completed work on the "Area 3" Permeable Reactive Barrier
(PRB) that is located on the former Visteon property near the northwest corner
of the Manors property. Ford will be
monitoring the PRB in the coming months to prove to the MDEQ that it is working
correctly and that the TCE in the groundwater is neutralized to within safe
drinking water standards as it passes through the PRB.
ii.
On
Nov. 13, 2013, Ford Motor Co. purchased the Grand/Sakwa property parcels that
are located to the north of the Manors and Kensington.
iii.
Ford
Motor Co. purchase could impact the timing, methods and locations for the
remediation of groundwater contamination coming from “Area 1” and “Area 2”,
however that contamination is not threatening occupied residential areas
b. Final Fall clean-up will take place
after pear trees lose all leaves.
c. The Board agreed to revise Master
Deed to create Phase 1 (129 units) and Phase 2 (37 units owned by CPTF). This would put Phase 1 at 91% completion so
that mortgages on these units can then become warrantable. This will allow (1) Lombardo unit and (10) CPTF
units to be developed under Phase 1. The
Board will identify the (10) CPTF units at a later date after discussion with
their representatives at Titanium.
d. possible other revisions and/or
additions to the Master Deed and Condominium Bylaws
i.
Discussion
on the list from previous meeting was deferred to the next Board meeting since
the attorney has not yet started looking at the list.
ii.
By
then the Board should have enough feedback to know what is feasible and what
the costs and timing will be to draft the revisions and get approvals.
iii.
In
the meantime, the proposed budget will show $15,848 for this work in 2014
(including the Phase 1 & 2 revisions to the Master Deed)
e. Discussion on recycling and trash
carts took place. Rizzo has changed to
new one-man trucks that load from the top, causing problems for the truck
operators and the Association. President
Grobbel drafted a letter for the Shelby Twp. Solid Waste Committee. The Manors Board is proposing the following
to solve our mutual problems:
1) Ask Rizzo to provide one 95 gallon trash cart to each of the
Manors units that do not already have a 95 gallon trash cart, preferably at no
cost to us;
2) The Manors Board
will inform the residents that their trash and recyclables can only be set out
to the curb in dedicated 95 gal. carts and that at all other times the carts
must be stored inside their garage (totes for recyclables and plastic bags and
smaller containers for trash will no longer be permitted); all residents of single family subs are
already required to use only the 95 gal. carts but the Manors had been
previously exempted because we were a duplex development and Rizzo’s old trucks
could accommodate us because they were loaded at the rear of the truck from
ground level.
3) If a Manors resident
cannot store both of their 95 gallon trash and 95 gallon recycling carts inside
their garage, they can:
a) arrange for Rizzo to have their
95 gallon recycling cart picked up and taken back
b) then dispose all their
recyclables and trash using their 95 gallon trash cart
7. Next Meeting:
The next Board meeting is on Friday, 10 January 2014, at 9:30
AM at the offices of Kramer-Triad Management Group, L.L.C., 320 East Big Beaver Road, Ste 190, Troy,
MI 48083.
8. Annual meeting is set for Wednesday,
15 January 2014, at the Township offices.
9. Meeting was adjourned at 11:05 AM ET.
