ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE REPORT

 

   1. Homeowners at 15107 68th Ave SE have removed their RV. They submitted a request to place pavers with grass in between the pavers rather than pouring concrete as they had originally requested. Steve Yandl moved to decline the request, John Patterson seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

   2.  A request was received form the homeowner at 15031 67th Ave SE to rent his home out. Steve Yandl forwarded the paperwork to the homeowner and also let them know that they would have to get approval for renting the home by demonstration that they were under a hardship situation. In addition, Steve reminded the individual that the hardship must be that of the legal homeowner.

   3. We have not heard back from the homeowners regarding the termination of the variance for the rental at 6908 152nd Street SE.

   4. Steve has received the ACC files from Ron Lee who had picked them up from Allan Kerr.

 

 

Yard of Merit

 

   1. Bill Steenis has received 19 of the 20 Christmas yard of merit signs. This year there were 6 judges in the program. Bill will be conducting the yard of merit program again this summer.

 

 

Old Business

 

   1. We are still negotiating the insurance issue.

a.       Prior to submitting the pictures of the tot lots to the underwriter we may want to have the play chips blown into the play areas.

b.      We will have to cancel the existing policy and then reestablish a new policy. Prior to doing this we are asking for a guarantee that the policy will be renewed as to not leave us uninsured for any time period.

c.       In addition, we need to bump the policy up to $2 million. However Safeco may not offer a $2 million dollar policy and therefore we may need to also establish an umbrella rider of $1 million.

d.      Fidelity coverage for the board members should one of us commit a criminal act that the homeowners association would be protected against this act. We currently do not have this coverage but according to the CCRs we should. We need to look into implementing this coverage.

 

Meeting adjourned at 7:55 pm.
