Approval of Meeting Minutes: A motion to approve the meeting minutes from June 10, 2019 was made by Wayne Christofferson. Motion seconded. Meeting minutes were adopted.
Unfinished Business:
BBHOA vs Flowers access boundary dispute: Susan Weeks from Verdis is waiting for one more property report and then the case will go forward for discussion with the County Commissioners. The Board is hopeful we will be on the July or August docket.
Website Update: Angela Brown reported the website was up and login invitations had been sent to association members. Directors agreed the price quoted by Mark was a good deal for time spent on development and support and opted to give him a little extra.
Wayne Christofferson made the motion “to pay Mark Brown $750.00 for development of the website”. Motion was seconded and passed without dissent.
Parking Pass/ Beach Pass/Community Rules: Angela reported that some passes had already been distributed with a letter describing how they are to be used. Community Rules have been updated to reflect the requirement for passes. The letter also noted information for those renting out homes and how renters were required to acknowledge understanding of the Common Area Rules and that they were willing to adhere to them.
Mailbox Assignments: Angela reported that she had contacted all those members who had not collected keys for the new mailboxes installed in 2014 after a tree fell on the previous set and destroyed them. All those members wish to keep their mailbox. There is a need for some more mailboxes for new homeowners.
Barbara volunteered to investigate styles of mailbox available and cost.
New Business:
HOA dues and Dock Fees: to be evaluated at next Board meeting
Development of Beauty Bay Resort: Flowers property is under contract with “sale pending”. The Board has been invited to meet the developer in a pre-development meeting later this week. Findings will be distributed to members.
Committee Reports:
Architecture Committee: Barbara Christofferson, although not on this committee, has done extensive research on Architecture guidelines and the committee is in the process of reviewing them. A draft of guidelines will be presented to the Board in the near future.
A third volunteer is still needed for this committee.
Committee Members: Wayne Christofferson and Eric Nowoj
Eric and Wayne met with a potential homeowner and his contractor to review drawings proposed for a new home on block 2 lot 9. A road bond, culvert , runoff concerns and septic were also addressed. The new owner had met with the building department and everything appears to be in order.
Road Committee: Wayne presented on behalf of the committee. Once required permits were secured the road upgrade on Beauty Bay Drive was completed by Groundworks Services. Total cost was $9990.00. Everyone agreed Groundworks did a great job with the road and ditches. Dust control (environmentally friendly oiling) was applied directly after the road work was completes. Unfortunately, some drivers continue to drive too fast on the road and some wash boarding is beginning toward the bottom of Beauty Bay Drive near the junction with Highway 97.
Committee Members: Cory Bridges, Wayne Christofferson, Fred Henkel and Tim Ochoa.
Beach Area Committee: Wayne presented on behalf of the committee. Eric Nowoj to work on Building removable benches.
Committee Members: Cory Bridges, Wayne Christofferson and Eric Nowoj.
Common Area Restriction Use Committee: Debbie Bridges presented two proposals, entered into the record as “Proposal A” and Proposal B”. The gist of the proposals is to restrict common area and dock use for short term renters (Proposal A) or allow renters use of docks and common area if property is leased for 12 months or more (Proposal B). Proposals were presented as modification of the current Bylaws. The Board suggested doing a simple survey to find out the sentiment of majority of Members before pursuing the matter any further. The wording of any change to the Bylaws would come later. Committee is to work on simple questions for the survey and set up a survey using SurveyMonkey.
Committee Members: Debbie Bridges, Tim Ochoa and Anthony Plager.
Meeting was adjourned at 3:00pm.
