Guest:

  1. Patty Vaught,  Lots #2897, 2898, 2899,  21031 Bellemeade Drive. Seeking a Permit to place a shed on Lot #2899 but they already have a detached garage. Only one structure is permitted, so the Vaughts will change their plan to add an addition to their garage to use as a shed. They must submit a plot plan showing that addition complete with dimensions and showing the offsets from the property lines. The plans must include the siding, roof materials, and colors which must match the garage. If approved the Architecture Committee may sign off on the plans when submitted. There is no need to delay until the subsequent Committee Meeting.
  1. James Huber (new owner of record), Lots # 1170/1171H/1172, 21022 Zurich Trail, replacing front porch and deck, increasing by 4’, reducing the size of the deck to the driveway, replacing decking on the back of house, not changing dimensions with new treated boards.  Replacing or repairing current blacktop driveway with no change in dimensions.  Replacing current retaining wall with new Alan Block, not changing height or length.  30” X 25’ and 24” X 30’. The Architecture Committee approved issuing a Permit for the Project as submitted, with the stipulation that the owner must first obtain proof the home addition on the back of the existing structure was built with a proper Permit from Dearborn County. If that addition was not properly permitted and inspected other issues will have to be addressed.
  1. Vicki Alering, Lot # 800/801, 20818 Lakeview Drive, 21’ X 14’ Lean to, color tan to match the house.  There has been much discussion on this lean to.  Mike Koehler is attending the meeting to discuss the materials etc.  The Permit has not yet been approved. Tom Cross wishes to get full approval from all Committee Members, so this item is delayed until Tom has the opportunity to speak with Jeff Mueller and Alan Kohlhaas who were absent from this meeting.
  1. Craig Carlson, Lot # 2687, 1838 Tuppence Trail, 12’ X 20’ lofted garden shed with composite siding, tan in color with brown tin roof. The colors selected are compatible with the colors of the home and the location of the shed is in the buildable area of the lot. The Architecture Committee granted Approval for issuing the Permit
  1. Gretchen & Mike Mettler, Lot # 344/345H, 837 Greentree Road, adding to existing deck which is 33’ X 14’, will be adding 12’ X 16’ using treated lumber. The Mettlers were not present for the meeting and several details need to be addressed. This Item is not approved but is delayed until those issues are settled.
  1. Randall Dozier, Lot # 2870H, 21132 Sunnyridge Drive, 8’ X 14’ deck extension using wood decking, 15’ X 24’ Parking concrete parking pad with culvert.  There are two items on this request for a Permit. The Deck Extension and a Parking Pad with a culvert. Since the Parking Pad is to be used to store a boat and a stored boat must not be located closer than 20’ to the road that parking pad, as shown on the Plot Plan, cannot serve the intended purpose. Another solution will be considered. For now, the Architecture Committee approves the issuing of a Permit for the construction of the Deck Extension.

Lindsey Schultz Jones, Lot # 3003H, 1898 Fieldcrest Drive, White vinyl decorative picket fence, height 3.5’ to 4’, 3 retaining walls, 47” X 66’, 40” X 22’ and 40” X 22’, using grey stone, 10’ X 10’ shed, painted blue, siding trim and shingle to match the house. In this unusual corner lot layout, the house fronts on the lake and the side of the house with the garage faces Fieldcrest Drive. The back of the house has a yard that rises toward and is bordered by Brookridge Circle Drive. The retaining walls are behind the back of the house and the decorative fence will be installed around the side yard facing Fieldcrest Drive. The Architecture Committee considered the details of the rules regarding the installation of fences and approves the Issuing of this Permit.

They are splitting Lot #971 and selling half of the lot to the owners of Lots # 968, 969 and 970 Owned by Hanes. Each owner of those new half lots will have contiguous lots.

Approve March 4, 2019 Architecture Meeting Minutes: 

First Approval: Dan Tester     Seconded by: Bob Maudlin

Old Business:   Phil Heitz pointed out there may be some actions that were taken by the Architecture Committee during the period between the March 4 meeting and this May 20 meeting that were not listed on the agenda. He will check with Bruce Keller, Gina Keller, Greg Morton and Tom Cross to determine the status of those actions. –  As a result, Item 21 under the heading: The following projects were approved by Architecture Committee without a meeting, was added to this report on 6/1/20. A second item: Michelle Meyer, Lot #1694, 1537 Cliftmont Circle was not approved and is scheduled for the Architecture Committee Meeting of 6/3/20. Still not resolved is the question of the status of the lot split for Lot # 1999 on Ventura Drive.

New Business:  Donna Yetzer recommended adding a directive for Committee Members to call the Committee Chair, Tom Cross, in advance if they are not able to attend a scheduled meeting. Also, create a policy that will allow the removal of Committee Members for chronic absences. Donna’s recommendation was to allow no more than two absences over some to be determined time period.
