Meeting called to order at 7:45 pm by Pete Popp.
1.) The board voted to hire the attorney to track down the tax issues related to the 31-acre common area. Pete motioned to do this. Chad seconded. All were in favor. Mark was non-committal.
2.) First issue: Lorenz' fence. Repeat issue from November 2002 meeting. Pete reviewed the issues and history of the issue. Within the 60 days allotted by the board, Mr. Lorenz submitted a proposal to the DRC. The DRC has the plan and is in contact with Mr. Lorenz to work on the fence approval.
Mr. Lorenz was under the impression that he had to come back with a landscaping plan and present it to the DRC. When he bought the lot in August 2002, he read the guidelines and nowhere did he see that he could not
Steve, his neighbor, said he does not see any problem with the fence.
Marne - everyone try to be nice.
Gary Fish - we have to decide as a community whether we want fences or not. He
Sandy - She wants to know why it is taking so long to work out these little deals. Also, she wanted to know why the board said that one of Lorenz' neighbors said they didn't like the fence. Pete said this is his fault and he apologized for the misinformation.
Bill Fischer - In response to why it is taking so long to resolve these issues take time because there are ramifications with our actions.
Shari - If we can't resolve this issue in 2 weeks, then there is something wrong with the board.
Bill made a proposal. He summarized the results of the lawyers meeting. Bill made a motion that we allow perimeter fences if all contiguous lot owners, including lot owners across the street approve it and it meets DRG. Ken seconds the motions. This specific issue is a DRC issue.
Kathleen - the board aggregates its responsibility for fiduciary responsibility. Also, she didn't think we could do this, the DRC had to do this.
Pete - The DRC can handle this specific issue.
Chad - this is defining a rule change and we can do this at any time. We are defining how we deal with a variance. Pete agreed with Chad's definition of what we can and can't do. Ultimately, we have a split board on this issue. We are trying to define rules so that this does not adversely affect the community.
Mario - It's getting late, are we going to nip this in the bud?
Bill said that he didn't think we needed to change the plans.
We voted on Bill's motion. Pete was opposed. All others were in favor.
Chad motioned that Mr. Lorenz' fence is approved pending written statements submitted to the DRC from all contiguous lot owners and lot owners across the street by March 31. Bill seconded. All were in favor except Pete.
Gary - he wishes that we make the approval process require a larger perimeter of homeowners approve waivers.
Shari - she thought that the misunderstanding could be alleviated if we approved the meeting minutes.
Budget - Kathleen said that the Section 7.3 - Annual Assessments. Pete read this section. Ken said that he read that 'A meeting of the members, each member can vote in person or by proxy.' We do not have any proxies.
Ken - asked the question, was the pavilion approved? He read the last
Chad explained the capital expenditure approvement process.
Pete called the meeting to a close. Meeting was adjourned at 9:26 pm.
