Resolution # 6 : Olmsted Dedication
There was discussion of drainage issues along Northbrook Road caused
by gopher damage to berms. John Fenn has contacted Penoni Associates and
is satisfied with the actions being taken to address this issue.
Supervisor Brutscher is concerned that property
owners along easement (BVA access) are treating that land as their own by
mowing, planting, etc. Ray Kennedy will contact the Homeowners’
Association, managed by DC Consulting, to have them communicate this to
the Olmsted Board of Directors. It was noted that the grass is supposed
to be left long in that area, except for the mowing arranged for by the
HOA a few times a year.
Ray Kennedy is aware that there is language regarding
the conservation easement that needs to be inserted into revised deed of
easement, per the Solicitor.
Motion: Brutscher moved, Sellers seconded to
accept Resolution #6 and approve the dedication of Olmsted with three
conditions:
1) $40,000 will be retained in escrow to cover:
- work on Basin 7
and the berm behind Lots 1 & 2
- $trail
repairs (expected to be approx. $5,350)
-
outstanding fees due to the Township Engineer and Solicitor
2) Notices be sent by the Olmsted HOA to lot owners along the easement
(with copies to the Township) clarifying the easement and instructing
residents that they can’t mow in that area
3) Conservation easement language will be inserted into revised deed of
easement
Motion carried with all in agreement
