The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of Juno Isles Civic Association was held on Monday, February 7, 2005, at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church on Ellison Wilson Road.

 

¨      Roll Call and Call to Order:

President Pete Lashenka called the meeting to order at 7:06 p.m. The following board members were present: Wayne Hatten, Dave Mastran, Chris Cox, Glenn Levine, Blas Contreras, Lucia Philipson, Jim Jackson, Thomas E. Morris, Dominick Marino and Trish Estabrook. Tom Wajdowicz was out of town and excused.

 

The order of the Agenda was changed to allow a few homeowners to be heard.

 

The Holland family residing at 1748 Ascott Circle asked for a pool and pool enclosure variance.  Upon review of the site plan and further discussion Wayne Hatten made a motion to approve the request, Jim Jackson seconded the motion.  The motion passed unanimously.

 

A question was raised by Ed Knapp regarding a two-story shed located at 12758 Ellison Wilson Road.  Wayne Hatten, as Chairman for the Architectural Committee offered to take a look at it and get back to everyone at the next meeting.  Wayne also brought up a property located adjacent to 12794 Packwood, Lot #13.  It appeared that there was a gazebo and/or outdoor cooker with a pressure treated deck and roof.  A neighbor complained that it was 3’ from the property line and there was a safety issue.  Blas Contreras offered to take the complaint to the County for compliance.

 

Numerous other covenant violations were discussed: an exposed pool at 2050 Radnor Court, 12177 (12787?) Ellison Wilson Road had a fence down and 2058 Radnor Court  was running a boarding house.  The Board talked about liability issues and decided to inform the County for compliance.

 

¨      Old Business: Ms. Stropp was present to discuss her 3 page letter regarding fencing at 2051 Ascott Circle.  Pete Lashenka read the covenants.  A discussion ensued after which Blas Contreras made a motion for a legal interpretation defining what the front of her property line is.  Thomas E. Morris seconded the motion.  The motion passed unanimously.  Ms. Stropp would be informed regarding the legal interpretation.

 

Dave Mastran asked: what is the vehicle that binds the homeowners to the Covenants?  Pete Lashenka was going to ask the attorney to put it in writing.

 

¨      Treasurer’s Report: Glenn Levine provided the members with financial information, copies of which were

provided at the meeting.  As of January 31, 2005 current assets were $68,557.15.  Jim Jackson asked for a complete proposed budget including the allocations for the construction of the Community Master Plan.

Wayne Hatten agreed to send the Board Members and Kari the new law as of April 1, 2004 regarding Assessments and Special Assessments.  Glenn Levine asked that all comments and suggestions for the budget be e-mailed to him.

 

¨      Secretary’s Report: No report.  Approval of minutes postponed.

 

 

 

¨      Covenant Changes: Blas agreed to e-mail Pete the concerns regarding attachments and vehicles.  Pete would then take it to Theresa for clarification.

 

 

¨      Architectural Review Committee: Wayne Hatten advised the Board that the Stitski family residing at 1845 Tudor Road requested permission to build a pool and put fencing on the property line.  It was approved by all three members of the committee. The Romano family residing at 1705 Ashby Road informed the committee that they were replacing their roof in accordance with the covenants.  A request was made by Rick and Peggy Sapir for a pre-fab 12 x 20 carport at 2196 Ardly Road.  It was denied.  Wayne asked that the following be put into the minutes: Paragraph 5, Section 3, Page 6 “No roof on any dwelling or outbuilding shall have a pitch less than 3.12 and all roofs shall be of cement tile composition.  If the house has an attached garage or a porch, the Architectural Committee may approve or disapprove a different composition.” 

 

¨      Covenant Committee: Blas Contreras handed out a list of violations and discussion ensued.

 

¨      Crime Watch: No report.

 

¨      Social Committee: Trish Estabrook reported that the picnic was scheduled for March 6th.  There were two catering proposals being considered.  Wayne Hatten offered to assist Trish in gathering raffle items.  Perhaps a free ad in the newsletter would be a good idea (up to  a $15.00 business card size).  The Yard Sale was slated for the 26th of March.  It was suggested to look into a banner (for under $100.00)                   for the front island advertising both events.

 

¨      Landscape Committee: Glenn Levine stated that a landscaper had been hired to maintain the front island four times a month for 12 months at a rate of $150.00 per month.  The maintenance would include weeding, trimming and mowing.  Wayne Hatten suggested that he only needs to come twice a month during the non-growing season and for the other ten times that he wouldn’t be showing up maybe he’d consider fertilizing the area twice.  He also suggested that the front island needs mulched.  Wayne Hatten made a motion to have the front island mulched for $250.00, Jim Jackson seconded the motion.  The motion passed unanimously.

 

¨      Web-Site: No report.

 

 

Thomas Morris made a motion to adjourn; Dominick Marino seconded the motion.  The motion passed unanimously.  The meeting adjourned at 9:15.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Kari Johnson-Slevinski
