Block Party Recap
- Event went well and we can consider it a success. S’mores demolished, not much water left over.
- Food truck made the minimum within 1 hour and will return the $250 deposit within a couple of days.
- Suggestions for next year
- Food AND dessert truck
- Face painting
- Temporary tattoos
- Chalk/bubbles
Playground
- Mulch is in! Was put in the day before the block party. Did it without check in hand, which was VERY nice. Will need to schedule follow up in February. We also need the paperwork for the records.
Adopt-a-Highway
- Trash pickup will be at 8am Saturday. Looking for one more volunteer.
Architecture
- Losing a member of the committee—FB post soliciting volunteers will go out; Kerri volunteered to make the post.
Wooded Pathway
- Half-finished with cutting the trail wider and will be out there again this week.
- Some kickback, but it has been addressed and resolved.
- Will reach out to Woodstone HOA about property lines, etc.
- Angela will make a vector map of the trail once it is drawn.
Tickets/Complaints
- Several complaints
- Fencing common area
- Basketball hoop on Whetstone; determined that basketball hoops are not covered in rules—if it is ON street, it is in VDOT regulation territory and is subject to VDOT’s regulations for hoops in the street. Will respond accordingly.
- Fencing next to a house—fence extends past home and is out of compliance. Connor responded that it is actually his home and believes he is within ordinance because the fence lines up with the front of the house. Will confirm.
- 4313 Rolling Stone Way—need to confirm if work is being done on the home, and if that is affirmative, the homeowner will need to submit the necessary paperwork to the committee. Will reach out via email.
Misc.
- Meeting on Tuesday May 28, 7pm, John Marshall Library about the future of the old Franconia Government Center: no one knows what will happen to the property.
- Next meeting: will coordinate picnic details.
Adjourned at 8:34pm.
