The Committee Chairman, Tom Cross explained the Bylaws do not allow the installation of two out buildings on any lot. Rob Lowe stated he will bypass the Committee and go directly the Board of Directors in an effort to obtain a Permit. Tom Cross informed him it is his right to do so. After several attempts to circumvent the intent of the bylaws, Rob Lowe became quite belligerent and started shouting. He was invited to leave. When getting up from the table, Rob Lowe told the Committee Chairman to “F**k-Off” and when storming out of the building loudly shouted “F**k You” to everyone in the building including the office staff member and the compliance officer. The Compliance Officer will be issuing a citation to Rob Lowe as a result of that behavior.

ApproveArchitecture Meeting Minutes for March 2, 2022.
Motion by: Bob Maudlin Seconded by: Alan Kohlhaas
Old Business: The recommended changes for existing bylaws, as presented in the March 2, 2022 Architecture Committee Meeting Minutes, were discussed and the Committee Members unanimously agreed to accept that existing wording for the proposed changes. Tom Cross, the Committee Chairman, will present them to the Board of Directors during their next meeting.
New Business: The Architecture Committee received a written Proposal, prepared by the Parks and Lakes Committee and Eric Fox, for changes to our Bylaws regarding the topic of Canopies for Boatlifts. Since any new Rules require approval by the Architecture Committee and will alter the existing Rules, the Architecture Committee must make appropriate changes to such new Bylaws, and existing Bylaws where applicable, to make managing the approval and issuing of Permits possible.
As presented the proposed new Bylaw reads:
“Canopies for boat lifts should have the following maximum dimensions: Length 30 feet x width 10 feet x height 10 feet above the waterline at summer pool. Style and colors are subject to application which will be kept at the POA office.”
After consideration, the Architecture Committee will recommend the wording be changed to read as follows:
“Canopies for boat lifts must be attached to the boat lift and must not exceed the following maximum dimensions: Length 30 feet x width 10 feet x height 10 feet above the waterline at summer pool. Style and colors are subject to application which will be kept at the POA office.”
In addition the Committees need to discuss setting Rules regarding how far the canopies may be allowed to extend into the lake from the shore line.
Additionally, the Application to be used by the POA Office titled “Architectural Application for Shorestation Revolution Canopy Frame and Cover” was considered. Some changes to the wording in the Application may be needed. In the section of items to be initialed by the applicant for the Permit, the first item to be initialed reads as follows:
“Shorestation was chosen as the sole manufacturer as it can be retrofitted to fit other manufacturer’s lifts and to keep overall uniformity in frame type and color.”
The Committee recommends removing the word “sole” in that statement due to the fact that we cannot demand Community Members buy a product from a specified manufacturer. Therefore it should be rewritten to say:
“Shorestation was chosen as the manufacturer as it can be retrofitted to fit other manufacturer’s lifts and to keep overall uniformity in frame type and color.”
The fourth item to be initialed says:
“For longevity, covers should be removed or rolled up prior to sluice gate closing/lake lowering.”
Since it is essential that the rolling up or removing of the canopies over the winter months is essential, the word “should” needs to be changed to “shall”. The Architecture Committee recommends the wording should be changed to read as follows:
“For longevity, covers shall be removed or rolled up prior to sluice gate closing/lake lowering.”
