Banbury Meadows Homeowners’ Association

Here are the results of the Board Meeting, topics & discussions.

Mark Bottles who owns the property which abuts the south corner of the Colchester entrance came before the Board with a representative from the Eagle Fire Department, the potential buyer of his property. They discussed the impact to the surrounding neighbors and assured us that responder sirens would not be turned on until they are on Eagle Road. The Board agreed to bring this to the Association at the Annual Meeting and get back to Mark Bottles with the consensus of the neighborhood. 

Melanie Gorczyca, Chairman of the Social Committee, reported plans to have four neighborhood social venues this year. Melanie reported that her greatest obstacle is the cost to rent space for these venues. The Board agreed to subsidize some of the up-front costs on a trial basis depending on the neighborhood support and attendance.
