Regulatory Committee

          November 14, 2007

 

Present:            Charles Kayser (Regulatory Committee Chairperson), Joan Winslow (Vice-Chairperson), Roger Gibbons, Dorrie Kayser, Jean Scott and Marilyn Dotto

 

The meeting was called to order at 6:05 PM in the Equestrian Center Lounge.

 

A motion was made to approve last month’s minutes. The motion was seconded and the minutes were approved and signed.

 

OLD BUSINESS

 

- The Wiese’s responded to the initial non-compliance letter via a phone call to the office.  At this time they have made no decisions regarding the status of their unfinished construction, although several options are being considered.  Since it is approaching the one year time limit for completing construction, it was decided to send a second, firmer letter as we get closer to the deadline.

 

- The revisions for the Lake Rules were reviewed. A small clarification was suggested prior to presenting the document to the Transition Board for approval.  It was agreed by all that follow-up is needed to ensure that the rules are recorded as soon as Transition Board approval is obtained.

 

- It was agreed that a section needs to be added to the covenants regarding property owner responsibility for preventing erosion and soil run-off.  The responsible party should be liable for repair and clean-up when the run-off goes outside the owner’s lot boundaries.

 

- Although Safety and Security was tabled for future review, it was mentioned that the office is looking into a better gate system to ensure that the gates are less problematic in the future.

 

- There is still a problem with trespassers jogging on the bridle trails. The consensus of opinion is that the majority are from Seven Lakes North.  Joan will look into this matter and make some fact-finding phone calls.

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

- A package consisting of our Restrictive Covenants, draft copies of our By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation, ARB documents, Non-Compliance document, Lake Rules and a list of questions and concerns supplied by all committees was sent to James Slaughter, Esq. (independent legal counsel) for his review.

 

 

 

 

 

OTHER

 

- Documentation will be prepared adding “horse barns” as an appendix to our ARB documents.

 

- Documentation will be prepared on soil run-off and erosion as a paragraph to be incorporated into the covenants.

 

ARB

 

- The Wilkins’ have installed a temporary fence around their pool until their permanent fence can be completed.

 

- Some slight material changes for new construction of the Goodrich house were approved.

 

- Shed renovation and fence request for the Collins’ house located at 500 McLendon Hills Drive was reviewed.  More complete information is needed before the ARB can render a decision.

 

- It was suggested that a sample package be created to show what should be included in the materials submitted to the ARB when approval is requested. Having all necessary components would greatly facilitate the decision making process.

 

A motion to adjourn was made and seconded.  The meeting was adjourned at 7:45PM.

 

The next meeting of the Regulatory Committee will be Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 6:00PM in the barn lounge.
