Appletree Point Shoreowner Association Meeting

 The Association held its Annual Meeting on August 22, 2023 at 7:00 at 147 Appletree Point Road.

 Time: 7:00 pm to meet neighbors and socialize. The business meeting started at 7:18 pm. 

Appetizers and Drinks were provided by the hosts.

 Agenda:

Introductions of the members present. Lars Larson and his sister, Christine, have sold their family home on the Point and said their goodbyes. 

 Rolly Delfausse of 195 Appletree Point Road, invited all to attend his families annual Labor Day Breakfast, from 9-11:00, to be held on the lawn this year in lieu of the high water and no beach!

 Treasurer’s Report:

 Chris Campbell read the report. We have $10,113.29 in our budget. She explained how the members living off of the dirt road pay for the road’s upkeep separately. Lars Larson made a motion that we not ask for dues this year. Seconded by Helene Langevin and approved.

 Beach Report: 

Mike Furlong shared his thoughts that our water quality was good even though Leddy Beach had been closed a few times this year. Strathmore tests regularly and if individuals want to test the quality themselves, test kits are available through the Department of Health.

Andy Kenney suggested that if the water is high again next year and beach debris needs to be removed, perhaps we could dispose of it at the end of our driveways and arrange for the city to take it away.

2021 Annual Meeting Minutes

The Annual Meeting of the Appletree Point Shoreowners Association 2021 was held on Wednesday, August 24th at 7:00 pm. President Jeff Haig welcomed everyone and the meeting started at 7:05. We went around a large circle of members to introduce ourselves. Jeff asked for members to update their information on a clipboard he made available.

AGENDA:

 

1. Treasurer's report

Chris Campbell reported that we have $10, 227.95 in our Treasury.

 

2. Road report

The people living on and off of the dirt road out onto the Point pay Chris Reid for annual road maintenance. Amanda Robbins shared that the Burlington Electric (with the help of Comcast, Burlington Telecom and Fairpoint) is planning to do underground wiring sometime (hopefully this Fall) and Chris Reid will regrade the road afterward.

 

3. Beach report

Discussion began on the health of the beach. This summer there has been an excessive amount of grass, weeds and small tree growth. Strathmore bulldozed their beach and created a channel for the water to get to the lake. Some residents have chosen to hire tractors or scrape up their beaches themselves. Kit Ardell and Ty Danco are on the beach committee. They welcome input on solutions.  It was questioned whether to wait until later in the fall to do something or earlier next July. It was decided that the best course of action is to send out a special email to the beach owners to share thoughts on the best course of action.

 

4. Dues Recommendations

The Board did not recommend dues for this year. Eric Miller presented the motion and Nancy Furlong seconded that decision.

 

5. Old business:

Shanta Eastman and Amanda Reid will create a Facebook page for our association. We do have a blog (https://appletreepoint.blogspot.com/)

 

6. New business

2020 Meeting

Given the present situation with COVID-19, the Executive Board has decided that the annual meeting will not be held, and dues will not be assessed for this year. 

• The Board also wished to thank Al Senecal for the recent grading of the road.
• Some on the residents along the beach have mentioned that some boaters and jet-skiers are speeding too close to the shore. Given how low the lake is this year, swimmers are likely to be farther out than usual, so please let anyone you know who might be boating near the beach to slow down and watch carefully for swimmers.
•  We are always trying to keep the contact list up to date, so if you have changed your phone/email, or are new to the neighborhood, please let me know your updated information at jhaig@comcast.net. 

I hope that we can all get together again soon!
