Also considered was a recommended change regarding Lot Splits accomplished by the addition of section 4-4-41 to the Architecture Section of our handbook stating: “Proposed lot splits must be presented to the Architectural Committee along with re-drawn, surveyor signed plot plans including existing structures. The Board of Directors are the final approval for all split lots.” this item was reviewed again after the November reading and discussions heard at the POA Board meeting on Nov. 29, 2018. The Architecture Committee voted to not change the wording and allow the original wording to go forward for a second reading at the next Board Meeting.
A third item, the issue regarding the maximum size of detached buildings (4-17-8) was reviewed and changes are recommended by the Architecture Committee prior to the Second reading at the next Board Meeting. The recommended change will include removing the maximum limit of 900 sq. ft. and added as a control factor will be a statement to the effect that the out building dimensions and limits must beproportional to the environment and the the neighborhood. The 50% of the living space restriction shall remain.
All committee members agreed section 4-17-9 should be read a second time with no changes.
New Business: A checklist to be used as a guide to help assure all critical factors are considered prior to okaying the return, in full or in part, of Performance Bond monies was created by Phil Heitz and presented to the Architecture Committee.

A letter was presented by Bruce Kellerwhich contained concerns expressed by Jon Dutton, a community member. Those concerns were in regards to the first reading of the changes (listed under Old Business above) for item 4-5-7 “n”. Those concerns were considered prior to the decision of the Architecture Committee to not alter the wording before the Second Reading.

Change to method of scheduling hearings regarding changes in Rules or for the proposal of New Rules: Due to the absence of members and reductions in the number of meetings during Winter months it has been recommended we only introduce changes in Rules during the months of June, July, and August. Exceptions may be made if an urgent situation arises.
Our Winter Architecture Committee Meeting schedule shall be altered. There will be no regularly scheduled meetings until March 2019. All new business will be conduced as needed. Committee members will be contacted by email or by other means when required.
