Other:
Garbage
19. After much discussion on the subject of heavy garbage trucks coming into our community and
putting wear and tear on our roads, the Board decided that no garbage collecting area at or near the
entrance to the community would be considered.
20. It was suggested that those members of the community who have their garbage collected be
approached with the idea that they may wish to consider using the Rosman garbage collection location
and perhaps have some of their neighbors who use this collection area to share/assist in the transport of
the garbage.
Lake Toxaway Safety Day
21. Frank reminded the meeting of the Lake Toxaway Safety Day taking place from 9.30 am to 3pm
today (Sat.10th Sept) at the Community Center and recommended to the Board that the Directors should
visit the Center on their way home from the meeting.
Summary of Discussion:
• The minutes of the 10 August meeting were read. Paula made the motion to accept the minutes;
John seconded; motion carried.
• The web site was being used regularly on a daily basis and virtually every day there are at least 10
– 15 hits on the Home page
• There was some discussion on impact fees for work done on member’s property. It was felt that if
heavy machinery or trucks were brought into the community for work that did not impact the footprint of
the property, such as heavy landscaping work, then an impact fee should be levied for such work. It was
agreed that the Architectural Control Committee will meet to discuss and review the current rules for
applying impact fees to our members.
• Dave presented the argument for restricting heavy garbage trucks from entering our community
since they create excessive wear and tear on our road system. He suggested a garbage collection area at
or close to the entrance of our community. Much discussion ensued and most of the Director’s were
concerned that such a collection area would deteriorate into a much widely used garbage dump for
people beyond our community and would pose a health hazard as well as being somewhat unsightly.
• Frank reminded the Board of the Safety Day at Lake Toxaway Community Center today, Sept 10th
from 9.30 until 3pm.
Next Meeting: Monday 10 October at 7 am at the Fire House (subject to confirmation)
There being no further business, Everett asked for an adjournment, Dave moved the meeting be
adjourned; Paula seconded. The meeting was adjourned at 1.50pm
