MINUTES for meeting 3-4-2020 Call to Order: 6:33 at Limestone Library
Present: Tim Hauert, President, Jeff Souligne, Andrea Cinnamon, Vice President, Colleen Wepprecht
Jim Muhlstadt, Treasurer, Christy Strole, Secretary, Alan Clodi, Homeowner
Minutes of 2-5-20 approval: Christy moved, Andrea seconded, motion carried
Treasurer’s report approval: Christy moved, Jeff seconded, motion carried. About 25% of homeowners have paid dues. Christy will send a reminder email on the tenth of March to people who have not yet paid their dues.
Public Comments: Alan Clodi, owner of lot 54-55, presented his proposal for a gazebo and a wood shed on his property. Jim moved we approve the gazebo, Jeff seconded, motion carried. Regarding the wood shed, we need to discuss in closed session.
Closed Session: Tim moved we go into closed session at 7:05. Andrea seconded, motion carried
Discussion of Clodi woodshed: The gazebo is not a structure addressed in our covenants. It’s just a roof, no sides, like a patio umbrella. The woodshed is a structure. It would be in back of his property, outside the fence. It would be visible in the winter by the neighbors behind him, and to the neighbors to the south of him all year. He would keep kayaks in the shed with the wood. It would have an asphalt roof, a wood slat bottom, and open sides. It will not be on a slab, so it’s not a permanent structure. Clodis have a shed already, and covenant #1 allows only one accessory structure. In covenant #4, an accessory structure is defined as a permanent structure. Impermanent structures are not allowed. We recently denied a homeowner permission to erect a prefab shed that would come off a truck because it’s not a permanent structure. Christy moved we deny permission for the woodshed. Jim seconded, motion carried. Christy will email Alan to tell him we approved the gazebo but denied the woodshed because a second accessory structure is not allowed.
Election of Officers: We have a quorum of homeowners who have cast their votes for the board members who were up for re-election, and Colleen Wepprecht. Benay McCue offered to fill the spot Heather may vacate when she moves out of the subdivision. Tim responded to her and asked her to attend tonight’s meeting, but neither she nor Heather were here tonight. We elected the following officers unanimously:
President: Tim Hauert Vice President: Andrea Cinnamon
Treasurer: Jim Muhlstadt Secretary: Christy Strole
Old Business:
Lot 66: septic overflow (since 2012) Tim got paperwork from the county detailing their actions on this case, which they have closed. We’re waiting for the homeowner to remove the drain pipe from our culvert.
Lot 65: drainage update (since 2007) No one has heard from the homeowner, no change here.
Lightbulbs at Entrances: Scott replaced three, they had water in them. The LED bulbs have decreased our electric bill. Two more lights are out. Tim will ask Scott about replacing them with solar powered light fixtures.
Mowing bids: Tim moved, Jim seconded that we send mowing bids to Dufrain and Clean Cut. I’ll add in the specs that besides string trimming they weed and trim all three entrances in the spring and fall. Bids will be due March 31st so I have time to contact them before our next meeting.
Easter Egg Hunt: Andrea will buy the eggs and goodies for the Easter Egg hunt again, and will set them up outside on Friday April 3. Kids will come Saturday April 4, and Colleen will be there. Christy might come too, and she will send a reminder email four days before the Easter Egg Hunt.
New Business:
Do we want a website where we can pay bills electronically and send blast emails? Christy talked about our old ramshackle website and described features that modern websites can provide. The group is in favor of exploring options. Christy will email Brandon Klezynski, whose company, Amplified Digital, builds websites, and Michelle Langlois, webmaster for Langlois roofing, to see what kind of website we can build to modernize our website.
Tim moved we adjourn at 7:58. Andrea seconded, motion carried.
