DISCUSSION
|
ACTIONS/CONCLUSIONS/
RECOMMENDATONS
|
|
|
Minutes approved with minor changes.
|
|
|
|
Landscaping is our largest expense. What are the HOA
expectations? Are they being met? What are the gaps?
o The
Board will contact a small number of Landscaping companies and ask them to
present their bid/proposal at upcoming meetings.
o Presentations
to be conducted separately.
|
Cary sent the proposal from
New Leaf, outlining their scope, timelines, etc.
Who does Gold Creek use? Are they satisfied?
|
|
|
Yoshihara has been maintaining the North end
Waterfall landscaping on a regular basis without authorization. We also need
to ask them for the key to the vault.
|
Cary to follow up with
Yoshihara to discuss frequency of maintaining the North end and pending charges.
|
|
|
Chris Rhoades currently maintains The Falls
website.
o Discussed
when there is an email sent from the website it should be directed to Charles
email and from that point he can forward accordingly.
|
Charles to follow up with Chris.
|
|
|
Considerable discussion regarding roof styles,
types of materials, etc.
o All
agree that flat, 3 tab composite is not acceptable. We want to remain as
close to the original ‘shake’ appearance as possible.
o Barbara
has been conducting quite an extensive research on roofing materials, styles,
etc.
o Color
and definition should be a major consideration to ensure a consistent look
throughout The Falls. No black or gray roofs.
o 3
grades of roofing; Builders – cheapest, Homeowner – better, Investment –
best.
o Need
to determine the current composite roofs on homes in The Falls, which do we
want to add to the approved list?
|
Charles to contact Mike from State Roofing to
drive through the development and note roofs that should be added to the
approved list.
|
|
|
Discussed the common fences and who is responsible
to pay.
o Historical
assumption by the homeowner’s is that the HOA will pay for their fence.
o Discussed
the definition of a common area.
o Not
feasible for the HOA to pay for replacing the fence along Sno-Cascade as the
cost would not be possible given the finances and the extraordinary cost of
replacing the entire length of the common area fence.
o Many
sections are in desperate need of repair.
o Discussed
offering homeowner’s along Sno-Cascade for the HOA to pay ˝ if replaced
within 2 years. Another idea was to raise the dues of homeowners whose fence
boarders a common area if the HOA is paying.
o A
common fence benefits the entire development is it provides the aesthetic
look along the main street.
o There
is no language in the CCRs that indicate the HOA will pay for fence replacement/repair
along common areas.
o New
Leaf was given approval to monitor the fence along Sno-Cascade and repair
severely damaged sections.
|
There will be a separate meeting to discuss the
fence issues and determine next steps and then alert impacted homeowner’s.
Color of fence was discussed. When/if the fence
along Sno-Cascade is replaced, albeit it sections or all at once, Bruce Frost
graciously agreed to paint. However, the fence needs time to season, approx 1
year.
|
|
|
Discussed sending a gentle reminder to homeowner’s
whose house is in obvious need of painting or is currently painted with an
unapproved color. Provide them with options to assist.
|
Send letter? Insert in a future newsletter?
|
|
|
As the days get longer, the timer will need to be
adjusted.
|
Charles to follow up with Yoshihara.
|
|
|
As of meeting date, any dues coming in are
considered late. A little over ˝ of
the homeowner’s have paid.
|
When should late notices be sent?
|
|
