Board Meeting Minutes from June 8, 2004


In attendance

  • Brad Scheevel, Cary Ecker, Steve Moller, Howard Mathisen, Brian Stern, Tiger King, Ty Franklin, Debbie Franklin, Mike Gent, Torina Gent, Jean Dellino, Reiko Sheckler, Devin Barrett

Roofing

  • A number of homeowners from 139th Pl. attended to complain about a home on their street that had their roof replaced in apparent violation of the CC&Rs.
  • Discussed acceptable roofing alternatives to cedar: select products from GAF and PABCO.
  • The apparent homeowner in violation is using a PABCO product, but one with an inappropriate finish (both in thickness and color).
  • As discussed in previous meetings, the board is looking into adding language in the CC&Rs to allow fines for violations. Cary has finally found a lawyer who will take a small case such as this.
  • The association's lawyer will send an official letter to the apparent violator stating that the roof is in violation and may need to be replaced at their cost.
  • Devin suggested publishing architectural specs for acceptable roofs. Brian will add a section to website showing approved roofing materials.
  • As the Architectural Control Committe was disbanded per the CC&Rs years ago, the board will continue to approve alternate roofing materials as appropriate. The board is looking into how the committe can be reinstated.

Waterfall

  • The electrical repairs and upgrades to the waterfall is complete.
  • An electricial will inspect the waterfall's pump and motor next week to assess their condition. If either component is damaged it will be replaced.
  • Brad estimated the pump will be operating again in approximately 3 weeks.

Other

  • The homeowners from 139th Pl. all complained of the condition of two yards on their street.
  • A homeowner complained about curb obstructions on 63rd Dr: a "permanent" skateboard ramp and cars parked on the curb. This is most likely illegal as well.
  • A homeowner complained about speeding on Snohomish-Cascade Dr. A sheriff does sometimes patroll this street in the mornings.
  • A homeowner inquired about whether a shed must match the home's color. It must only if it is visible from the street.
  • Six homeowners have still not paid their dues and have not made any arrangements. Brad will send out lien letters for these homes next week.
  • A large tree that fell during the most recent windstorm still blocks a part of the trail. Devin volunteered to cut the tree.
