Old Business:

 

(1)   Gerry Lyons Fence Issue:

(a)    Issue involves fence construction by Mr. Lyons neighbor which precludes Mr. Lyons from performing maintenance on his own fence and which was not constructed to BFHA convenants.  This issue was brought before the Board previously.  The issue continues. 

(b)   Mr. Lyons neighbor, previous homeowner, never took down the fence in his yard as he had promised to do.  Now the property has been sold and Mr. Lyons is having to deal with the new homeowner who rents the property.  The new homeowner has agree to take the fence down if he had a place to put it. 

(c)    Dick spoke to the Association lawyer, who said the issue could be taken to court and Mr. Lyons/The Association might win the case to force the new Homwoner to take the fence down.  But at what cost?  Recommendation was made, and seconded, that the Board approach the new homeowner and ask hm to abide by the Association covenants.  The Board agreed the fence will come down at Association expense.  Board voted on this, vote was unanimous.  Mr. Lyons left the meeting satisfied at the outcome of this issue.

 

(2)   New Storage Shed.  Dick reported the new storage shed was bought, paid for, set up in the sub-division.  At present, Dick, Mark, and Rick have keys.  Cost of the shed was $1263.

 

(3)   Dick provided the board with a draft of a letter he would like to send to Association members highlighting the Association by-laws dealing with cleanliness of ones homes.  Dick will send a copy of the letter and the by-laws to homeowners as well as those renting from homeowners so all understand the by-laws.

 

(4)   Meet the Association Gathering.  Vondry was not available to discuss the progress of this.  Nothing new to report.
