W: The City approved our beautification grant request for the full
amount of the grant; there is one more administrative
approval to be received.
The Board voted to commence an initial phase of work this
month, with the balance to commence only after we receive final

the City.
- President’s
report:Received
a check for filming in the community. The $2,500 will go to the
general fund.
- Received a thank
you letter from the organizers of the Concourse de Elegance Rally.
City liaison / RDA: nothing to report
Old Business: The
local press reports that the Governor vetoed AB 2702, which would have
placed
additional
restrictions on the ability
of cities and associations
like the PBCA to control "granny flats". Once the state has posted
official notice of the veto, we’ll take up the (deferred)
topic of duplexes in the community.
- New Business:
- Input from the
community was taken on the subject of sheds on vacant lots. The
next meeting will
be discussion of this
subject by the
Board.
- Real Estate signs
in the community. By a 3-1 vote, the Board approved the
placement of real
estate for
sale signs
according
to the guidelines
below:
- Signs must be
of a size and style consistent with the PBCA house signs,
e.g., not to exceed
24” wide by 15” high,
cut so that the top portion of the
sign is arched, and mounted on a
single wooden pole so that the bottom
of
the sign is no more the 24” off
the ground. Colors are to be red
letters on a
white background.
- Text
is limited to the following:
- The phrase “For Sale”
- A single
phone number
- No other
text (e.g., company names, agent names,
fax numbers, etc.) is
permitted. No
insignias
or logos are permitted.
- The sign
is to be removed from view upon the signing by
a buyer and seller
of a contract
(“entering escrow”).
The sign must in any
case not remain for
more than
60 days, whether or
not the property
is sold.
- Approval
to place signs that conform to the
above need not
be sought on
a case-by-case
basis by real
estate agents
or
private selling
parties, but
notification
that
a sign will be placed
must be provided
to the PBCA in writing
in
advance of the placement
of each
sign. This written
notification must
specify the date
that
the sign will go
up; this will start the
60-day
limit.
- Abuse of
the above by a particular party
or organization
may result in the PBCA
revoking
permission for
the offending party
to place
any future
signs.
Audience
Participation:
- The Peppertree
Drive above-ground storm sewer
needs attention. This will be
addressed with
the regrading of the intersection
at Pomegranate.
- The PBCA may be
subject to paying for a portion
of the cost of clean-up
of a section of Altimira
Canyon, based on
agreements made
in the early 1980’s.
Meeting adjourned
at 9:15pm
Respectfully
submitted,
C.
Jones, Secretary
