v     Old Business

 

  • Jim reported that The Estates of Juno Beach are still in the process of getting permitting with the South Florida Water Management District.

 

  • Jim reported that the South Florida Water Management District has issued a conceptual permit for single family and multi-family lots for the WCI property. Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District is amending their water control plan to include the project.

 

  • Copies of the Summary of Recent Legislative Changes prepared by Scott Gherman, Association attorney, were distributed to Board members prior to the meeting. The discussion of the summary is recorded in New Business below.

 

  • Kathy and Wayne reported that some homeowners are not content with the sidewalk extensions to the street that were recently built by the county. Jim said it was not an issue for The Board to become involved in. Kathy will respond to the homeowners and find out exactly what they would like to have done.

 

  • Wayne would like to put boxes of materials in the storage unit at Southern Self Storage. The persons who currently have access to the space are no longer members of The Board. Wayne made a motion for the current officers of The Board to have access to the storage unit. He presented forms to be completed and submitted to Southern Self Storage. Dave seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously.

 

  • The resident at 2141 Ascott Road submitted a variance request to install a shed beyond the rear setback requirements. The Board requested the resident provide a county permit for installation of the shed. The resident responded that he was waiting for The Board’s variance approval before applying for a county permit. Dave made a motion to approve the requested setback, pending roof material compliance with Juno Isles Covenants. Jim will confirm with Association attorney, Scott Gherman, the legality of connecting the setback approval with roof compliance. Wayne seconded the motion. Dave, Wayne, Jim and Tom were in favor. Doug and Kathy were opposed. Blas abstained. The motion passed.

 

  • Discussions continue between Scott Gherman, Association attorney, and the Stropp’s attorney for settlement of the fence issue. Jim advised Scott that The Board would like to have the issue resolved by the end of October.

 

 

v     New Business

 

  • One of the items included in the Summary of Recent Legislative Changes, submitted to The Board by Scott Gherman, Association attorney, states that 48 hours notice must be posted for committee meetings where decisions for implementation are being made. The Board discussed various ways to continue making committee decisions in a timely manner. Wayne made a motion to appoint two alternates to the Architectural Committee that would attend committee meetings should committee members be unable to attend. Dave seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Wayne made a motion to appoint Jim as the first alternate and Doug as the second alternate to the Architectural Committee. Blas seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously.

 

  • The Board discussed whether or not to propose Covenant changes, taking into consideration the notice requirement mandated by the new state statute. Proposed changes to The Covenants would have to be sent to the residents by the end of September. Before making Covenant changes suggested by the Association attorney, it was decided to implement the committee alternates solution discussed earlier and revisit Covenant changes next year.

 

 

 

  • Dates for a picnic in October, the deadline for newsletter articles and the annual meeting in November were discussed. Newsletter articles are due to Kathy by September 19. Target mailing date is October 2. October 13 is a possible date for the picnic. November 14 and 15 are possible dates for the annual homeowners meeting.
