OLD BUSINESS

 

1.      Easement Research – Paul Hurst continues to work on easement issues. STATUS: in progress

2.      Correcting Covenants and By-laws – Editing of the Covenants for errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar has begun. Editing of the By-laws for spelling, punctuation and grammar has been completed. By-laws will be e-mailed to homeowners for approval (yes/no) by a 2/3 majority. “No response” will be considered as a “yes” vote. Paul is coordinating this project. STATUS: in progress

3.      Table Purchase and Installation - Dick Clem suggested that the Board authorize the purchase of a waterproof table and bench to be placed near the gazebo at the front entrance lake. The purchase was moved, seconded and approved.  STATUS: in progress, will be installed when the weather is not so cold, probably in the spring.

4.      Wall Repair - Paul mentioned that he’d received a request from a homeowner to repair the top of the right front entrance wall. Dick said that he was aware of the problem and planned to make the repairs within the next two months.  STATUS: The estimate received for this job was $11,000, which is much too high. The board will investigate other alternatives.

5.      New Code Violations – some additional homes have been noticed as being in non-compliance. Someone from the Board will contact these homeowners in hopes that the issues will be corrected without having to report the infractions to the City.  STATUS: in progress
