The
meeting was called to order by President Gary Van Horn at 7:00 PM. Present
were: John Horn, Dave Martin, Alan Wright, Craig Cowles, Gary Van Horn, and
Kelly Wilson. Andy Andersen and Dave Ullman were visitors. Gail Hill arrived as
the meeting was called to order.
SECRETARY: Robert was working this evening
and could not attend. The previous minutes for the July meeting have been on
line as draft minutes and everyone present had a chance to read them. John Horn moved that the minutes be
approved as presented on the web site, and Dave Martin seconded. All approved by voice vote.
COMMENTS
FROM MEMBERS: Dave
Ullman had prepared a handout for the board, explaining that he had purchased a
lot here and has been trying to move up here, and is proposing the construction
of a modular home on his lot. The
specific modular construction he is proposing is identical in appearance to
regular stick-built, and has asked around regarding the impact of such a home
on adjacent property value and has not found any negative impact. He went into
more detail regarding the type of home he is intending to build, saying he is
still in the process of gathering information about actual cost. John suggested this needed to be brought to
a vote of the membership, altering Article 6 Section 2 of the CC&Rs, and
that the wording of that motion might allow too loose a standard for future
home construction. Discussion ensued
around these points. Gary said that
there was no reason to limit this vote to the end of the year timeframe, that a
special election might be more suitable. Dave Ullman said he would have more
information in a few weeks, and then he could come up with some language that
can be further discussed. John made
the motion that a subcommittee be formed consisting of past presidents of the
board, along with architectural chair Dave Martin, to look into the
matter. Dave Martin seconded. All
approved by voice vote.
TREASURER: Gail said that there has not been
substantial change since her last report in July. We have received a check for $310.00 from the Muis family
to pay the annual assessment for one property of the two. (This check
arrived months late.) There has been no change to their lien status at this
time.
GOOD OF
THE ORDER: Andy
stated that ISAS has agreed to host the Pilot Memorial event again for Memorial
Day 2013.
ARCHITECTURE: The committee has approved a room
addition on 767 Luscombe where Greg and Margaret Smith are now living. It is to be used as a hobby room and storage,
and construction has already started.
MAINTENANCE: Craig said that the cattails on
the south end got up around 3 feet high, and after a few attempts he got it
removed. Gary asked Craig if there
could be a notice sent out a couple of weeks before Craig sprays for weeds
along the taxiway. Craig said that if they wanted that they could put up a sign
up saying "no spray" and leave it up all year.
PRESIDENT'S
REPORT: There was
some concern about the new City ordinance about chickens in back yards, since the
City allows that now but the IAHA CC&Rs prohibit the keeping of
chickens. Dave suggested that this
change be proposed at the same time the ballot measure comes up about the
modular home question discussed earlier, whenever that occurs.
There was a meeting at City Hall regarding drainage, which Gary attended, and the full minutes that Forrest Peck wrote are to be sent out through the Block Herald network. Highlights are as follows: One line of the underground storm sewer system carrying water away from the Airpark's southeast corner was found to be plugged during the cleaning process and several downstream culverts with crushed openings have now been repaired. A new 24" line has been installed at Airport Road and Hoffman Road in place of an existing 12" line which should substantially help carry any water coming to the east via the Hoffman Road Ditch into the storm sewer system instead of allowing it to run over on to Mooney St. The City is also initiating a system-wide drainage study as well as working on improving the flow of water in other areas around the Airpark; this should enhance overall drainage performance. The notes from the meeting with the City will be distributed once they are in final form.
About the
insurance policy for the Board of Directors: Gary said he was working
with Brown and Brown of Colorado as well as with Wells Fargo, our current
agent, to get quotes to consider. We have also asked for information
regarding liability coverage for the taxiways.
Gary also passed
around the upcoming ballot, saying the only two people he had not heard from
yet were Gail and Craig, both of whom agreed to serve one more year.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:17
PM. Submitted by Robert English, secretary, from digital recording made by Dave
Martin.
