Agenda:

  1. Barry Hansel, Lot #1348H, 948 Greentree Road, request another variance to the previously okayed variance to place a shed closer to the back of the lot. This change               was a request for a 1′ offset from the back property line. After discussion the                                                 Committee and Barry Hansel unanimously agreed to a 5′ offset allowing space for                         maintaining the lawn area between the shed and the back property line. A variance of  20′ from the buildable area limits established by the Rules will be required to permit  placement of the shed in the desired location.  All normal procedures for obtaining  the variance shall apply.

 

  1. John & Cynthia Marx, Lot # 1952B, 1953H, 1512 Heidi Haven Drive, requested a                                  permit for installing a metal garage 14′ X 32′ on Lot section #1952B. Due to a non-                        typical method of initial construction of the home they purchased, some discussion                                 was required to ascertain what would constitutive the build-able portion of the lot. The non-typical aspect of this property is: The existing home, attached garage, and                          driveway face Alpine Dr. Being a corner lot (Lot # 1953H) with a contiguous lot                                     behind (Lot # 1952B), also located on Heidi Haven, plus the fact that the garage is to  be used as a shed and have no driveway attached, the following changes in their                                  original request were unanimously agreed to by the Committee and by John &                                Cynthia Marx: The shed shall be sided with Vinyl. Color choices shall be either Clay,  Cream, or Wicker. (standard colors provided by the manufacturer of the shed)  selected with the intention of being the best complementary color relative to the color   of their brick sided home. The roof material will be shingle in a shade of brown closely matching or complementing the color of the existing roof of their home. The  location shall be 25′ from the north side of the lot bordered by Lot #1954 located on  the north edge of their lots. Lot # 1954 is located on Alpine Dr. The distance from the  East edge of Lot # 1952B shall be no closer than 10′ from that east edge of the lot  bordered by Lot # 1952A.

July 11, 2018 Architecture Meeting Minutes approved. Motion by Alan Kohlhaas, Seconded by Dan Tester.

Old Business:  Bruce Keller is to check out the legalities involved in changing the rules            regrading minimums for first floor square footage of new homes to be constructed on      Hidden Valley Lake lots. To be reported during the September 5th Architecture                 Committee Meeting

New Business: The Architecture Committee is to prepare for and consider existing rules and   possible needed changes in rules regarding the materials used in the construction           and installation of fences. In addition the issue of oversized nonconforming storage containers on docks needs to be addressed.

Discussion of the bylaws for landscaping on new homes. May need more verbiage added to the bylaws.

The discussion included 4-5-4 “Performance Bond for New House”: No need for changes in section 4-5-4 were suggested.

The discussion of section 4-5-5 “Minimum Appraised Value for Homes required to have Greater    Square Footage” states the following:

The appraised value of a house and associated lot improvements must be at least $180,000.00.     At least one (1) per cent of the appraised value of the lot shall be for landscaping. The appraised        value of the lot shall not be included in this amount.

The Architecture Committee determined there must be further defining of the term Landscaping. To be considered in the definition: The value of brick and concrete areas, walls,        lighting, statuary, and plantings, at a minimum, can be considered to be part of landscaping.             Further defining needs to be considered and is covered at lest in part under 5-3. Landscaping                 Rules.
