Attendees:  M. Heffner; J. Patton; D. Terry; D. Skinker; R. Stehlin; Chris  Rhawn

 

Meeting called to order @ 7pm

 

Budget:

·         Michele makes motion to approve budget presented at the annual meeting November 19th, 2010.

·         Vote was unanimous to approve budget as presented.

 

AERC   [J. Patton presents]

·         3 applications received by AERC committee (for Lot 19F)

1.       To keep propane tanks behind garage   --  approved

2.      Gutters -  request to change color     --     approved

3.      Fence to be brought to within 4 feet of street -   disapproved

 

·         As a practice, AERC requests disapproved by AERC committee may be appealed by homeowner to full board.    Chris Rhawn requested that board reconsider AERC’s ruling.

Ø                  Rhawn’s desire to bring fence to within 4 feet of street is to reduce leaves blowing from neighbor’s yard to his yard and reduce grass clipping ‘sprayed’ from same neighbor into his yard.

Ø                  Discussion regarded covenant language governing fences.   Rhawn cites multiple existing properties where fences come to within 4 feet of street.   Board noted that present conditions relate to safety concerns with retaining walls being the driving factor for these fences.    Each board member expressed both pros & cons of Rhawn’s fence extension.   

Ø                  Michele makes motion to approve Rhawn’s request:

1.             4 vote in favor

2.            1 abstains from voting

3.            Board agrees that fences can’t come any closer than 4 to 5 feet from the street.  Letter will be sent to homeowner to document approval of fence extension.

 

 

 

Calendar 2011

·         Discussions concerning the change over to new members.   Michele asked that Donna and Ron retain records until sometime in January.   Michele will notify Donna & Ron when they need to relinquish the treasurer’s and secretary’s records to the new officers.

·         Michele and John discussed the board-meeting schedule.   Either 2nd or 3rd Tuesday of the month is being contemplated.  

 

 

Meeting adjourned at 7:51pm
