PINE ISLAND RIDGE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

ANNUAL MEETING
OCTOBER 21, 2025

BOARD MEMBERS:Yolla Blair, Thomas Wolfe, Jim Onik, Joshua Lawrence, and
Bryan Schuch.
There were 30 homeowners present and 2 proxy votes were received.
President of the Board, Joshua Lawrence, welcomed the homeowners for attending the
meeting and proceeded with explaining the roles and purpose of the HOA. He explained
that individual homeowners have not joined the board but have volunteered their time
whether it be planting flowers at the entrance signs, coordinating subdivision garage
sale/ kiddie parade or stocking fish in the ponds.
Mr. Lawrence asked if there were any nominations for the board and there were none.
Mr. Onik presented the proposed 2026 budget which shows an increase in funds for line
items Beautification/Tree Replacement, Lawn Care, Pond Maintenance, and Utilities.
The yearly assessment fee remains at $130.00 per household.
The Board will continue to negotiate with 1st American Property Management or seek
an alternative that will be able to accommodate our subdivision’s needs which mainly
includes hiring vendors and enforcement of our covenants/bylaws.
A call to vote on the proposed budget was made by Mr. Lawrence with 23 homeowners
voting in favor for the proposed budget and 3 opposed. The 2026 budget was passed.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Melanie Christy thanked the board for all they did.
Homeowners are asked to either contact the HOA or code enforcement if there are any
concerns. The only way to have homeowners maintain their property is to contact the
proper authorities.

Mr. Wolfe clarified that the board will continue to immediately respond to complaints but
once a property management company is in place then their number will be posted on
the website and they can be contacted.
A homeowner requested that garbage cans be placed closer by Twin Lakes pond to
reduce littering.
Consideration will be made as to issuing placards to homeowners for fishing at the
ponds. It is difficult to regulate nonresidents fishing at the ponds.
Garbage cans are not to be brought to the curbside before 5pm the day before garbage
pick up.
A homeowner asked if the board has been updating the bylaws which it has but not the
covenants because those require a 2⁄3 approval by homeowners which is difficult to
obtain due to lack of participation and interest from homeowners.
Carol Wielgos asked about having mulch applied to the flower beds in the spring time.
A homeowner brought to the board’s attention that the mats applied by the south
commons playground are collecting water. They recommended purchasing playground
mats because they are humped to allow water to drain. The board will look into it. In the
meantime will either use mulch to build up the middle section to allow water runoff.
A homeowner asked if solar panels were allowed in the subdivision and Mr. Lawrence
explained that they are but cannot be facing the street and there is a size limit. A prior
approval is needed by ARC.

Mrs. Lippie asked about changing the bylaw allowing homes to be rental property. Mr.
Lawrence stated it may not be enforceable and we would need to consult with our
attorney.
A homeowner asked how often tree trimming was performed by the entrance signs and
the solar lights need to be replaced. The board is open to any ideas from the public with
regards to landscape maintenance.
Mr. Schuch made a motion to adjourn and Cathy Hojnacki seconded the motion. The
motion passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 7:45pm
