37 <br />Developer Concerns At Churton Grove <br />General Developer Concerns <br />1. Substandard Quality and/or Installation of Pool Equipment <br />In 2007 the Churton Grove HOA spent approximately $8000 to replace components of the pool pump and ducting <br />system. This is apparently not the first pump that had has to be replaced in the three year history of the pool. The <br />root cause of the problems appears to be the Developer's installation of inadequately sized pumps and ducts that <br />were too small to handle the pool volume. Unfortunately, to date, there has been no attempt to recover the cost of <br />repairs from either the Developer or pool installer. <br />2. Substandard Quality of Irri>7ation Equipment <br />The community has had some. issues with. providing adequate irrigation at v_,aripus landscaping, sites ,~e.g., entry. <br />monuments, clubhouse recreation area). The root causes of some of the problems appear to be the Developer's <br />installation of inadequately sized irrigation pumps. The cost to date to the HOA is unknown. <br />3. Inadequate Landscapin>? at Churton Grove Main Entrance <br />The landscaping at the entrance of the neighborhood (St. Mary's Road) is inadequate. A combination of the <br />inadequate irzgation equipment (see above) along with failure of Developer to install irrigation in some locations, <br />along with the failure of Developer to properly maintain the landscaping has resulted in an eyesore at the main <br />entrance to the neighborhood. The HOA has attempted to repair some of the damage. The HOA is currently unable <br />to afford to repair problem in its entirety. <br />4. Failure to Provide Two Tennis Courts <br />The AMENTIES AGREEMENT that exists between the HOA and CHURTON GROVE LLC specifies that <br />CHURTON GROVE LLC will provide two tennis courts. To date only one has been provided. <br />5. Bicycle Racks <br />Developer had committed (perhaps on a landscaping plat7) to provide a bicycle rack in the clubhouse vicinity. To <br />date the bicycle rack has not been provided. <br />6. Inadequate Landscaping at Braddock Park Entrance <br />The landscaping all along the North Scotswood entrance to the neighborhood is inadequate. No fiuther information <br />regarding why it looks so bad. It is not clear what method of irrigation is intended for the landscaping in this <br />vicinity. <br />7. Workmanship Issues at Churton Grove Clubhouse <br />There are a number of workmanship defects that have become apparent at the clubhouse, including: broken kitchen <br />flooring; broken kitchen window; overly slick bathroom floors are a safety concern. Developer has not warranted <br />the work on this new structure. <br />13 <br />
