Mr. Dole understands the removal of the extra square footage is preferred and has been given 3 months to complete the removal or apply for a variance. He also understands that failure to comply may result in a fine.

Their Contractor, Paul Egbers, was present and presented the drawings and the Plot Plan. The Architecture Committee unanimously approved the issuing of the Permit.
  1. Chris & Melissa Windau, Lot #2331/ 2332H, 1744 Tali Trail. Applying for a Permit to install an 8’ X 45’ gravel parking pad and 3’ X 45’ retaining wall with drainage pipe, including stone fill over tile. The parking pad will run parallel to the driveway. The drainpipe from the downspouts will be connected to the culvert extension and buried. The Architecture Committee unanimously approved the issuing of the Permit.
  1. Richard & Gayle Myers, Lot 1663H, 19792 Alpine Drive. Applying for a Permit to install a 4’ in height black aluminum fence.  Pins have been located and marked by an Indiana registered surveyor. The fence will be in the back yard and located within the buildable area. The Meyers’ may need to change the type of fence due to the current unavailability of their preferred style. They were informed that the project needs to be complete within 6 months, but an extension of the time to complete their project may be obtained if needed. The Architecture Committee unanimously approved the issuing of the Permit. – On Nov. 11, 2021 the application for a fence was altered to allow the installation of a black chain link fence. That is approved in accordance with the prior agreements.
  1. Scott Wagner & Kimberly Ezis, Lot # 1146, 20403 Meercham Way. Seeking a Permit to install a concrete driveway expansion with retaining wall.  An upper existing parking pad is 420 sq. ft., the lower parking pad is 189 sq. ft. and the proposed parking pad is 385.69 sq. ft.  Scott said he would remove the upper parking pad to enable the installation of the proposed parking pad.  This would still be over the 360 sq. ft. limit. At this meeting Scott chose to present an alternate plan that may better satisfy his needs while avoiding the conflicts created by prior plans. Extending his attached garage and altering the driveway to allow for a turnaround area needed to access the garage may satisfy his requirements and be a design that is possible to be approved according to existing Rules. Scott will provide a new plot plan showing the new layout at a future Architecture Committee meeting.
  1. Wayne Ferguson, Lot # 1790H, 1291 Heidi Haven Drive. Dave Hafner represented Wayne Ferguson, not present for the Meeting, by presenting a request for a Permit to install a 4’ X 8’ dock with Azek composite decking. The Architecture Committee unanimously approved the issuing of the Permit.

  1. Mark & Mona Mullen with Architect Dan Brooks. These unscheduled guests requested an opportunity to review plans to add an addition to their existing home located on Lot #1710 at 1358 Cliftmont Circle. Included on the Plot Plan were new retaining walls. As presented, the Committee indicated the home additions went beyond the 10’ side lot offsets and were therefore outside of the buildable area. The Architect acknowledged the problem and the guests will alter their design to make it possible to obtain the needed Permit. The architectural drawings have not yet been closely examined, but when the design and the Plot Plan are complete, the Architecture Committee may move promptly to approve the issuing of essential Permits.
