Mr. Starr called the meeting to order.

 

Meeting minutes for March 2006 were discussed and approved with modifications as noted to the Secretary.  September 2005 through January 2006 remain unapproved.

 

Unit 414 – all windows requiring replacement were not included in this unit’s October estimate of expenses.  While unit owners are not required to replace windows while the improvements project is underway, doing so improves the likelihood that rot and damage can be deal with and avoids the risk that subsequent replacement may potentially affect the finish and appearance of the outer façade.  Windows are the unit owners responsibility and they were strongly encouraged to replace windows during the improvements project.  Terry Murphy will contact the unit owner to see how replacement might be handled.  Stan Muir will send a confirming letter. 

 

Building colors – it was reconfirmed that different colors will be used from building to building. 

 

Fence caps – Discussion ensued whether fence caps would be painted to match the fencing or left natural.  The Board decided that caps would be painted.

 

Unit 4 timber wall adjacent parking area – Discussion regarding replacing existing timber retaining wall with wall blocks.  The Board decided that the retaining wall would not be replaced, instead the slope would be graded and planted.  Stan Muir mentioned the dig out behind building 1 (number consistent with numbering on Mr. Keist’s proposal) necessitated by fence replacement and concern that absent timber shoring the hill would subside into the fence.  Mr. Tice and Mr. Keist will survey and determine whether this can be cured by grading which will be the preferred method if it looks feasible.  

 

Craig Keist presented 3 landscaping options as requested at last meeting (Option proposal attached to meeting minutes).  One of the options was to provide landscape improvements within the currently authorized budget.  A discussion ensued regarding the authorized budget of @$88K and the budget identified of $105K.  Because of the discrepancy, Craig was asked to re-estimate and provide an option at the $88K figure. 

 

Approval for additional landscaping assessment – The Board directed Stan Muir to contact our counsel, Lou Larsen and reconfirm quorum requirements for a special meeting to seek approval for an additional assessment for landscaping purposes.  The Board is now looking toward holding the special meeting in August or September. 

 

Mike Plymale noted that unit 440 is approximately 5 months delinquent on special assessment payments.  Terry Murphy has agreed to contact the unit owner to see how this can be resolved. 

 

Paul Tice brought up his desire to connect the new well to the existing lawn irrigation system and to extend this to include the adjacent area containing the playground equipment.  The Board requested that he get an estimate of the cost both with and without the playground area for consideration at the next meeting. 

 

Stan Muir reported that the initial estimate from the surveyors to survey the property was quite high.  Craig Keist noted that a survey had already been done as part of the initial improvements plan and was asked to provide Stan Muir with a copy of that survey. 

 

No other matters being raised for the Board’s consideration, the President adjourned the meeting.

 

Stan Muir, Secretary
