Approve May 20, 2020 Architecture Meeting Minutes: Motion to approve by Bob Maudlin. Seconded by Dan Tester.
Old Business: Bruce Keller presented a proposal to the Architecture Committee Members in letter form regarding the meeting schedule and attendance to those meetings, including the need to notify the Office if a member is unable to attend a meeting. All members present acknowledged the various issues listed and agreed to them. All Committee members not present will be notified and given an opportunity to do likewise. The letter sets up a means by which members may resign if they chose to do so at any time in the future.
New Business: In response to a request by Bruce Keller at the end of the May 20, 2020 meeting, Bob Maudlin submitted recommendation for changes to the Rules in Section 4-13 on Lot Splits. The section regarding lot splits was discussed and some further addressing of the topic will need to be addressed at our next Architecture Committee Meeting. Tom Cross covered Sections 4-17, Sheds Gazebos, Shelters, Dog runs, detached garages, and other Lot Improvement Rules, plus Section 4-19, Retaining Wall and Exterior Wall Rules. After discussion on these topics conclusions were noted and will be written up in a format to be presented to the POA Board at our next Board Meeting for a first reading. Phil Heitz was unable to present his recommendations for Section 4-13, Fences. He will present his recommendations for discussion at the next meeting of the Architecture Committee on June 17, 2020.
Alan Kohlhaas presented an issue regarding car stickers. Hidden Valley had stickers issued when the Community had guarded gates but that policy was discontinued. Since the streets are open to the public at large it may be wise to return to that practice so as to enable better monitoring of the use of Community facilities and assets that need to be restricted to use by Community Members only. It is likely this topic will be mentioned at future Board Meetings.
