Approval of Meeting Minutes: A motion to approve the meeting minutes from November 15, 2018 was made by Fred Henkel. Motion seconded. Meeting minutes were adopted.
Unfinished Business:
2018 Annual Meeting Minutes Update: Angela Brown (Secretary) stated that twenty (20) plus hours had been spent reviewing the acquired audio recording of the meeting, notes obtained from Barbara Christofferson and those submitted by the contesting homeowners. Meeting minutes were amended to reflect any omissions. The Secretary is confident the business of the 2018 annual meeting is accurately represented in the amended meeting minutes. Debbie Bridges continues to protest.
Web Page Update: A ‘soft launch’ of the web page was done prior to the meeting to allow the Directors to review the web page and provide feedback. It also helped to ensure certain functions were working properly. Adjustments are being made based on feedback to the web page developer.
BBHOA vs Flowers access boundary dispute: Wayne Christofferson has been to meet with Kootenai Title Company to discuss Title company issues. In addition, several Directors met with the HOA attorney, Winston & Cashatt. A letter of “Opinion of Counsel regarding Beauty Bay Estates access issues” was obtained from the attorney. The letter and accompanying exhibits were read into the meeting minutes. Copies of the letter were given to Tami Doolittle and Bruce Jacobs. The next step is for the three parties (BBHOA, Doolittle and Jacobs) to visit with Verdis, a planning and design firm to prepare necessary exhibits, and coordinate with Ruen-Yeagar (surveyor) as needed, and to work with the Highway District to accomplish the goal of a legal, recorded access for homeowners as suggested by attorney.
New Business:
Committee Reports
Architecture Committee: Wayne presented on behalf of the committee. Nothing was ready to be presented at this time. The secretary is to forward any past drafts of architectural guidelines to the committee as a place to begin.
Committee Members: Wayne Christofferson and Eric Nowoj
Beach Area Committee: Eric Nowoj priced the cost of four removable benches for the beach area at approximately four hundred dollars. Wayne has been looking into regulations for modification of a shoreline. Several government agencies are involved in regulation of shoreline modification of lakes, streams and rivers in Idaho including the US Army Corp of Engineers, Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and Kootenai County. Wayne has communicated with June Bergquist of DEQ and she does not believe we would be able to put anything on the shoreline due to the 25 ft setback regulations. Wayne is to schedule someone from Kootenai County Planning Department to come and look at the shoreline to see what we can do and what can be done to stop further erosion.
Committee Members: Cory Bridges, Wayne Christofferson and Eric Nowoj.
Common Area Restriction Use Committee: The committee stated they are waiting on feedback from an attorney. Committee had nothing to present at this time.
Committee Members: Debbie Bridges, Tim Ochoa and Anthony Plager.
Other Business:
New Piling: Bill Braid stated that Marilyn Bagley (MB) had installed a new piling to replace the broken one located near the swim area. We need to determine the boundary line to see if shared payment needs to be paid to MB. Some members at the meeting shared concerned that the piling may be too short to be visible at high water levels.
Member Input:
Estimates for Road Repair: Cory Bridges asked if we had obtained another estimate for cost to repair Beauty Bay Drive. Wayne stated that the companies don’t visit work sites to provide estimates during the winter.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:27pm.
