Old Business

  • “Dark Hill” lights – Dominion has placed lights based on the infrastructure and conservation easement.
    • JJ’s question – the new lights do not seem to match the existing lights, can that be remedied? Answer: you can put in a request on the Dominion web site but no guarantees
    • Resident question – can the trees around existing lights be cut back? Answer: we’ll have the landscapers look at it, but some are on homeowners’ properties.
  • The 7 homes on Lost Creek are finished, being sold and occupied.
