Minutes. The minutes of the 3 May meeting were reviewed and approved.

Old business.

  1. Barn, 3 Figtree. An application has been submitted by the property owner. There are a few issues remaining / points to be clarified, as follows: (1) it is not clear the grade of the road up to the stable meets the 25% requirement (b) it is not clear that notification / coordination with neighbors has been completed (c) there appears to be a pipe corral on the premises that were not on the plan (d) the plan did not depict landscaping or screening (e) there appears to be a fence erected at the front of the property that is not of a type permitted (f) there does not appear to the be required weatherproof sign providing emergency contact information. A letter will be sent to the property owner requesting clarification, information, or action on these remaining issues.
  2. Fence, 6 Clovetree. The fence in the front is not 3-rail, and may be too tall in some places. Correspondence from the owner indicates that this fence is temporary, until a new dog grows to maturity and is trained, and the discrepancy will be corrected after a specific time. A copy of the letter will be placed into the files.
  3. Lot, 3 Gingerroot. A visit was made to the property; the lease-holder has promised to submit a plan. We will request that he also submit a signed statement from the owner that the owner approves the plan.
  4. Addition, 15 Sweetbay. A visit was made to the property; the owner has promised to submit a plan.
  5. Fence plans, 4 Thyme. A visit was made to the property; it appears that the only fence is a temporary construction fence. A letter will be sent to the owner in order to obtain an estimated date of removal. Also, to obtain an estimated date of removal of the temporary storage containers on the lot that are visible from the street.
  6. Horse fencing, 7 Plumtree. The committee plans to send a letter &/or make a visit to request plans.
    g) Horse trailer, front yard, 3 Clovetree. This matter was referred to the board for consideration.
  7. Corral, 22 Narcissa. It appears that an unauthorized addition to a corral has been made that may be too close to the road. The committee will visit the site to make a visual inspection.

Preamble letter. A draft letter was provided to the members for review. Members are invited to submit comments and suggestions to Casey Porter or Don Burt.

Forms. A draft form was provided to the members for review. Members are invited to submit comments and suggestions to Casey Porter.

Procedures. No report was available at this meeting.

New business. Daphne Clark has determined that she is unable to serve on the Committee at this time. The board re-affirms its goal to have 5 Association members who are not also board members serve on the Committee; at present, the Committee therefore has two openings.

General discussion. There was discussion of the desirability of a welcome visit to be paid to each new member of the Association.

Next meeting date. 7 June 2004, 7:30 pm, Ladera Linda. On that date, there will also be a Board meeting at 8:00 pm.
