Minutes 10-5-22

MINUTES for regular meeting 10-5-22 at Limestone Library called to order at 6:35 Presiding: Tim Hauert, President. Attending: Jeff Souligne; Christy Strole, Secretary; Claudia Berwanger Homeowners: None, so no public comment Minutes of 9-7-22 approval: Jeff moved we approve the minutes. Claudia seconded; motion carried. Treasurer’s report approval: Christy moved we approve the treasurer’s report. Jeff seconded; motion carried. Old Business: Wellness Check on homeowner update: Benay was not here. She sent an organization that does wellness checks there anonymously so we can’t know the result. But the yard has been mown. IDOT re third lane feasibility update from Benay and Tim: Mark Short of IDOT says currently Route 113 from 3320 W Road to Indian Trail Road is being considered for reconstruction. If it is, in two years he will open a website for virtual public comment. Tim made the case that the road with two lanes is unsafe. Can we reroute truck traffic to avoid 113, Tim asked? Mark said that’s a big deal that can affect commerce and would take years. Whether or not we can have a turn lane will be based on the amount of traffic, roadway alignment, and number of accidents on this road, among other factors. So we will monitor this situation. Thanksgiving Food Drive – Claudia consulted with Salvation Army and made a flyer that we will distribute via email (the last week of October) and facebook, encouraging homeowners to drop off donations. Board members that were present agreed to use their houses as drop off spots. Christy will email the others. Maybe Salvation Army has barrels we could use? Salvation Army will collect the donations. Some of their suggested donations, like turkey, would require room in a freezer. Claudia will check on how we would handle that. The flyer will be completed before our November meeting. Modular home research: Tim (Rochester Homes) and Colleen (Lawyer friend): Colleen was not here. Tim asked Rochester for a legal description of the difference between modular homes and mobile or manufactured homes, and they didn’t offer anything. They said we’d need to pay a lawyer for that. HUD determined that after June 5, 1976, both “mobile homes” (on wheels) and “manufactured homes” (on wheels only until they are set on a foundation” are now called “manufactured homes.” They are regulated by HUD. Modular homes are not regulated by HUD, and are required to meet all state and local building codes. Guys from our county building inspector group would have to go to Indiana to inspect the modular home while it is being built. The homeowner has not yet submitted official plans showing siting and elevations. New Business: none Christy moved and Jeff seconded that we adjourn at 7:00, motion carried.
