The January 2022 Homeowners Association Meeting of Delray Villas Plat 3 was held the above date at the Recreation Center Viking Room. The meeting was conducted using guidelines established by Palm Beach County and the Center for Disease Control. The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by President Alan Schnelwar with a salute to the flag followed by a moment of silence and private prayer of choice….

President Schnelwar introduced Castle Lot Homes, the people who are proposing to purchase the 3 lots currently owned by Delray Villas III and one lot currently independently owned. They are proposing to build 4 attached units at the corner of Edna Way and Wanda Lane. The proposed units will look outside just like the current units at Plat 3. Any questions raised were answered. Projected time after permits are issued would be approximately 8 months. One major problem of concern is the current fiber optic cable from Atlantic Broadband and the privacy hedges and berm at the corner and privacy wall. The proposed units would become part of Delray Villas 3 HOA.

NEW BUSINESS: Landscape Chairman Bob Albertson brought up the condition of the ficus hedges in and around the pool area being in very poor condition. This condition is caused by proximity to pool chemicals and loss of top soil around the ficus hedges. Option one is too put more top soil around the hedges with hopes that the hedge will recover. The second option is to remove the ficus hedges and replace with arbocola hedge. This is a preliminary discussion to get a feeling from the Board. After discussion to Board agreed to obtain prices for replacing hedges with different approaches.
