CALL TO ORDER / PRESENTATION OF MINUTES
1. Suzan Miller called the meeting to order at 7:00pm. Present were Suzan Miller, Steve Yandl, Rick Sallee and Nicole Klages.
2. Minutes of the February 2017 meeting were presented and unanimously approved.
TREASURER’S REPORT
1. Steve Yandl reported on current financial status.
a. Currently $87,915 in the checking account (operational funds).
b. There is $16,868 in the long-term reserve.
c. We have $5,700 in operational reserve.
2. Late invoices have been sent out. There were 20 owners who have not sent in a payment for the 2017 assessment and one owner paying the current assessment who was invoiced for unpaid assessments for previous years.
3. Treasurer still working on assuming bookkeeping duties.
4. Final budget ratification tally was 163 returned ballots with 159 in favor of the proposed budget and 4 opposed. The 2017 budget is ratified.
MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
1. With so much winter weather, we’ve postponed getting quotes to augment play chips in the tot play areas. That should be done in March or April.
2. Request from impacted owner adjacent to NE corner detention pond asking that we address an issue with potentially hazardous alder trees near the fence line before having chain link fence installed to replace the current dilapidated wood fence.
3. There is a decent chance Snohomish Parks will have an opportunity to accept a state of the art LED lighting system that could be installed at Willis Tucker Park. If this comes to fruition, we will set up a meeting with Parks staff to be certain any concerns of adjacent homeowners are addressed before lighting is in place.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE REPORT
1. Requests from homeowners for project approvals.
a. Newton – Painting of brick facade. ACC members wanting to see samples of painted brick in the proposed color before giving any approval..
b. Robison – New roof in Presidential TL approved.
c. Dusara – Roof replacement info requested. Specific plan request not yet submitted.
d. Trosin/Browne – Request for side yard parking pad (and driveway extension from front yard) to accommodate boat parking. ACC members fine with gate and fence repositioning and vegetation removal but want to see more specifics on the paver project before granting approval.
2. Complaints, CC&R violations
a. Complaints regarding basketball hoops were discussed. No vote was taken but the consensus was that basketball hoops in good repair should be allowed in front yard areas, provided they did not block sidewalk or street. The same would apply to other play equipment such as hockey goals.
b. Follow-up discussion on unapproved carport at Harrigan property on 158th Street. PDS has issued a noncompliance letter and given a deadline for owner to remedy lack of permit and setback violation issues. Once County action is complete, HOA can investigate options for dealing with an unapproved structure if it remains as is.
c. Two tone paint job at the end of 68th Ave cul de sac where upper level color has significant red tone has been reported. Members will make a visual observation and we’ll look for any approvals granted to see if action is warranted.
OLD BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS
1. Steve Yandl will line up a meeting room for the annual meeting in May and announce time and location in the 2nd Quarter newsletter.
2. Gold Creek annual garage sale scheduled for May 12-14.
MEETING ADJOURNED AT 8:02PM.
