COMMITTEE REPORTS:

A.R.C: A.R.C. – Bob Isaacson reported that the ARC had approved a Gazebo, Disapproved a fence, and approved a GVM recreation shed with the agreement to move it by the end of next May ’06.

Bob raised the issue of what to do about chain link fences. How do we enforce our ARC rules when so many chain link fences have been approved in the past? Do we need a membership vote on the subject? Al Samuelson commented that some look ok when located beneath decks/porches. How can these fences be disguised?

Ecology Committee: (See enclosed) Harry Corwin presented the report for the Ecology Committee. Harry discussed noxious weeds and what is being in respect to controlling their growth.

1. The County has completed its first round of spraying greenbelts and roadsides for weed control. The second round is scheduled for September.

2. Multilevel Attack: It was emphasized that the control of noxious weeds in G.V.M. has to be carried out on at least 4 different levels. a. Roadside Infestation Control. b. Private Property Control. c. Green Belt Control. d. Trails Control.

Harry stated that The Association can only make an assessment of the success of the County efforts if Larimer County keeps the Association informed as to where they are spraying.

3. Other Activities

a. Three additional information boxes have been constructed and will be placed at the junctions of three trails.

b. Due to the work of Ecology Committee volunteers, the demonstration garden is looking good.

4. Next Ecology Meeting: 9/8/05 at 7:00 pm. All GVM residents are welcome!

OLD BUSINESS:

Fanjoy property (F9 L33) settlement agreement status. Request for payment plan.

Board agreed to allow the manager to make arrangements for a payment plan up to 3 months but no longer. Payments must be on time or the original default judgment agreement will override.

NEW BUSINESS:

A. Hearing for ARC decision regarding application for 8/84. Sale pending.

Mr. Yturiaga presented his plan to possibly buy 8/84 and move an existing home from Ft. Collins to this lot for remodeling. New construction drawings and photos were presented by Mr. Yturiaga. Prior to the meeting, the resident at neighboring lot #85 submitted a letter of concern and a photo. His complaint (Aaron Towne) was that the proposed building site would block his primary view. Discussions were held regarding the current compliance of the home to current building code; about a possible access easement needed from lot 85; and the challenge of moving a home this size to the subject lot. Jim Doran proposed a site visit by the board and Bob Naftzger agreed. All members are to meet at 8/84 at 9am on the following Saturday.

PUBLIC INPUT:

Diane Morrison asked for more information regarding a previous motion to implement a $1000 ARC impact fee. Jim Doran explained that the motion had been rescinded by the board following the annual meeting. This was because the ballot proposal passed which made improved and unimproved lots the same in terms of dues. This increased revenue needed for road repairs/maintenance – so the impact fee revenue was no longer needed.

Meeting adjourned into executive session 7:45pm

Joint Executive Session - Affirmative Vote of 2/3 of quorum required

A. C.R.S. 24-6-402-(4) (f) – Personnel discussion

Deanna had not received a 90-day review or merit increase after starting her position. Board agreed to the manager’s proposed raise structure effective 9/23/05.
