The open meeting began with the President, Wanda Greer introducing Raymond Thompson, owner of Blue River Development, who requested the possibility of his new development becoming a part of the Terramar Beach Community Improvement Association, Inc.  Some considerations by his company would be the possibility of a pool, landscaping, marina, parking, roads, fencing, and septic.  The advantage to his company would be the he would not have to set aside the 30% green space required by the city.  He currently has plans for 18 homes built on 50’ x 110’ lots, in the price range of $200,000 to $250,000.  He said he would need a response from the TBCIA within the next 30 days. (Aug. 16)  They are scheduled to present a plan to the city on the September agenda.  It was then resolved to appoint a committee to work out the details of a proposal and response with Blue River construction, subject to board approval.  Doug Eibsen was appointed to chair the committee.

 

Ron Froncek discussed the pool damage being caused by users.  The gate replacement would cost $850.  The palm trees – should wait until the end of the year to address.  The pool plaster is damaged.  The phone number for security was supplied to Ron to post on the bulletin board and website to address the vandalism.  He also made the board aware of free dirt from possible city digging ditches for drainage.  Wanda discussed using the swimming pool fence at the marina when the new fence is installed. 

 

Wanda Greer called the meeting to order at 10:10am.  A quorum was established.
