SPOA LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE REPORT
SPOA MEETING OCTOBER 28, 2016

The patch on upper Westgate is not out for the bid because we are not sure if we have the funds to complete the work. Thanks to Naomi McGinn, Terri Diets and Bill Jovick for putting the plan together.
The new plantings on Hillcrest are looking good. They will look better.  The Hillcrest gates were painted and the area planted thanks to Con and
Julie.
We are waiting for a surveyor for a report on Hillcrest.  We will get a bid for stump removal for the trees removed on the small island on Atlas Peak when we have the funds.

FUTURE
Rocks will fill in the buffer areas that are not planted on Westgate. We will include rock on the small area on Hillcrest adjacent to Madrid's.
The islands on Hillcrest near St. Andrews will be fixed up - not totally redone as it looks in good shape. Water leak is a continuing problem. When
the soil is tilled and a few plants added and mulch (bark) put down, that island should be fine for the near future.

Small islands off St. Andrews will be re-done as money permits. The project will start with Pinehurst and then Merion Circle.  The landscape committee will not need an architect for these projects.

We hope to have a pile of funds in the near future to tackle the big island on Hillcrest and then the huge island on Westgate.

Respectfully submitted,
​
THE LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE

Landscape Committee Report
SPOA July 29, 2016

Because Julie and the Landscape Committee have basically the same report, Julie said the Committee should report first and she will fill in.
​The 22 islands have been neglected for many years, so we are making a start on "the fix". There is a limited budget and the county has most of the decision making authority.
  • Atlas Peak islands have been refurbished and are about to get much needed new irrigation.
  • Westgate's bare patch is under discussion with the homeowners.
There is money to plant the patch but overgrown trees have to be trimmed first.
  1. The first two islands on Hillcrest will be refurbished soon. Bids were
    sought and the contract was awarded to New Image Landscape, our
    new landscape company. The plants will be drought tolerant/deer
    resistant/non invasive etc. These islands, if they work out as planned,
    will be a prototype for the rest of the SPOA islands. There will be
    variations of course. Irrigation has to be replaced on these islands too.
  2. JOM Evans' office was contacted re painting the three entry brick
    monuments before planting begins.
  3. A county survey/with cost split by SPOA will be taken regarding what
    property belongs to whom on the left side of the entrance on Hillcrest.
    The county and SPOA want the question of who is responsible for
    which piece of land settled.
  4. FUTURE: The Committee will begin prioritizing and costing future
    projects as the above mentioned work is being done.
  5. We hoped the assessment would have been more so that this work
    could be done swiftly.
Respectfully submitted,
SPOA LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE
Nancy Pollacek
