The Board, all committee chairs, and especially myself do appreciate all of the feedback that was provided during the recent Community meeting on Saturday, September 2, 2017. We value your questions and concerns.
Below is a quick summary of some topics discussed at the meeting:
- Board Nominations: Please note that nominations were solicited at the Community Meeting in May. In addition, a page on our website has been dedicated to Board nominations middlesexbeach.org/committees/nominating/. In response to your feedback, next year the Board will send a reminder over the summer to all property owners.
- New Construction: We will explore possibilities that may be incorporated to limit development of super-sized houses.
- Rental Property: The Board heard the desire to investigate a rental impact fee and will explore options.
- Parking: The current parking issues on the East side are being explored. At the Board Meeting on September 16, 2017, a Parking Committee was created.
- Trash and Garbage Enclosures: Enforcement to regulate the size of enclosures, sufficient to hold all cans, and enough cans to handle the trash generated per property. In addition, enforcement on the rules related to recyclables.
- Ditches: The Board understands the problem and has been searching for solutions for several years. The biggest issue is that there is no east to west slope. The second is that we are hampered by the existing drainage on Kent which we drain into. The third is cost. We have received a quote to fix one-fourth of one street. The cost would be $70,941.16.
