Minutes from November Meeting

TREE TOPS Update for Early January

I got a spare moment tonight so I thought I would pass along a few more updates.   After sending the information out last night several residents asked me if the proxy votes we be held in confidence.   The answer to that is YES.   I have asked Diane to take the proxies that we receive prior to the meeting and the meeting votes and Diane and a member of her staff will announce the results.   We will not release individual names that voted for or against the amendment.

Some other news that I wanted to pass along:

Gate Codes

Each resident should have two gate codes to the front entry gate.   One is active all the time and is for use by homeowners.  

The second code is only active during day hours.   This code is contractors that you have working on your house. 

If you do not know your codes, please email Diane at diane@montgomerypropertyservices.com.

Pedestrian Gate Key

When I moved into the neighborhood I was not given a key to the pedestrian gate.   We have located keys to the Pedestrian Gate and if you would like to make a copy if you don’t have one, you can email me at brian.bradway@raymondjames.com to arrange to borrow a key so you can make a copy.

We also looked into other solutions for the pedestrian gate such as having a combo lock, swipe card and keypad system.   At this point we have decided not to move in this direction.   Some residents had concerns with the combo lock and the swipe card system and keypad system were very expensive.   The bids were between $5000 = $6000.

Tree Tops Gate Programmer and Tree Tops Welcome Committee

Shawn Bai at 9618 Tree Tops Lake Road has volunteered to be on the welcome committee and be one of our gate programmers.   We are still looking for another individual for being on the welcome committee and gate programmer.   Please consider helping out on one or the other committees.

I am working on a package for the welcome committee and will be turning that over Shawn.   Diane will let us know when a home is sold as we are notified by the title company to ensure the resident is up to date an HOA fees.  

Dog Droppings

I was recently asked to remind the residents of Tree Tops to PLEASE pick up after their dogs.   Not much else to say here but we do ask for your compliance.

Holiday Decorations

Did you know we have a deed restriction on when holiday lightning needs to be removed?  I didn’t until I was reminded.   Please have all holiday lighting removed by 1/10.

STAY WARM TREE TOPS….IT COLD OUTSIDE!!!! 

Happy New Year Everyone -

I have been really busy at work the last couple of weeks due to a upcoming reorg in our department at work and have not had time to write a early January update.   I hope everyone had a GREAT holiday and is off to having a great new year.

As soon as I get a chance I will post a message with updates that I want you all to know about.   This message is to quickly reach out to you on the proxies and distribution list updates.

We have only received 40 proxy forms at this point.   We need all of you to quickly make your decision and are asking that you either mail, fax or drop off your proxy form at my house.   I am going to place on my front porch a box that you can place your proxy in if you simply wish to drop it off.   I will empty the box each night.  My house is 10712 Beagle Run Place.   If you prefer to mail or fax that is fine.   The fax number is (813) 926-1912

If you need a new proxy, information we sent out in the past or have questions please email me at brian.bradway@raymondjames.com.

Lastly we have had several homes sold in the last month and new residents moved in.   I am going to email this to our distribution list and if you would like your name removed or added to that list, please email me above.

Have a great evening.
