OLD BUSINESS
A Violations Committee has been formed consisting of both Board and non Board Members with the intent of CC&R’s guideline conformity.  TARGA would send out letters advising homeowners of the violation, identifying a reasonable amount of time for said conformity.  Joni Mckee will head up this committee.

Asphalt paving – We are in discussion with three paving contractors.  Mark plans to talk with the paving contractors in order to ascertain the project complexities, the time involved and the cost.  We are looking at a multi-year project but more will be understood after these discussions take place.

NEW BUSINESS
Noise Violation – Several complaints have come into TARGA with regards to this complaint.  PLEASE NOTE:
CC&R #10 – Each owner, visitor must recognize that in a communal environment such as Colonial Forest with many residents sharing common structures, areas, and facilities and within sight and sound of many more persons, there is a delicate balance between the rights of an individual to act in any given manner and the rights of other residents to the quiet enjoyment of their property.

CC&R #3 – Residents shall exercise extreme care towards making noises particularly in the use of musical instruments, amplifiers, radios, television, record/tape players, tools, door slamming, etc. that may disturb other residents. 

King County Ordinance 3139 and all other applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining to noise shall be strictly adhered to, with permissible levels of noise diminishing after 8 pm and particularly after 10 pm and remaining at a diminished level until 7 am weekends and 9 am weekends and holidays.

Signage – Mark will make up a For Sale sign for Board approval.  This sign will be placed at our 1st Ave. gate entrance indicating units available, including contact information, without the tackiness of several signs listing individual properties.

John reported that a pine tree was wrapping itself around a lamp post and will have to be trimmed. 

The Board is waiting for a reply from Quiet Forest regarding their trees uplifting our fence along the East side.  We want to keep the privacy that the trees provide while not damaging the fence. 

Building 5, Unit 5 reported a dryer vent problem.  Each dryer vent is unique to each Unit, consequently this is a cost to the Unit owner.  Any work of this nature the Contractor has to be licensed and bonded.  Michael Daniels reported the joint pipe section had been disconnected separating itself from the Unit. 


Respectfully submitted,


Marilyn Kelleigh, Secretary
