Special Board Meeting Aug 3, 2016

Bridger Creek Subdivision Community Association
Special Board of Directors’ Meeting
Wednesday, August 3, 2016

The meeting was called to order at 8 am. Board members:  Sharyn Anhalt, Dian Bottcher and Karin Jennings were present; Dorick Savageau was absent.

Dissolution of Association
For background, see minutes from July 3 and June 6. Karin updated the Board on her discussions with Chris Saunders, acting Director of Community Development (aka Planning) regarding process steps should the membership vote to dissolve the Association. The Board discussed pros/cons and processes with its Attorney, Eric Nord, via phone. Following discussion, the Board agreed that pursuing dissolution of the Association by bringing a vote to the membership is not the best course. All agreed it is unlikely to pass given the requirement for 75% approval from the membership and the low percentage of ballots which are typically returned. The Board discussed reviewing a streamlined set of Covenants and will request one from Eric.

Opening on Board
Bill Ranard stepped down from the Board on July 13th due to the amount of travel he has been enjoying during his retirement. From Bill: “Effective with this writing, I submit my resignation. Given the amount of travel we do, I find that I am no longer an effective contributing member of the board. Thank you all, especially Sharyn, for the outstanding work you do for the BCSCA.”

Design Review
Dave recently reported via email to the Board that plans for new construction of a single family house on Lot 2, Phase 1 (1007 Boylan) were submitted, reviewed and approved. The owner will be mailing the review fee to the Association.

The Board received and reviewed the landscaping plan for new construction of a single family house on Lot 4, Phase 3, which were approved. (House and site plans were reviewed previously by the Board on June 15th.) The review fee has been received and the Board approved all plans for this lot, including the requested variance for secondary roof pitches (shed roofs at 3:12 pitch).

Drainages on Augusta (Phase 2)
Karin reported that she received a call from neighbors to the drainage between lots 22 and 23, stating that it is not draining properly. The neighbors first called the City, who was very responsive in sending out a maintenance crew to clean the clean-out. This drainage, owned as common space of the Association, was never installed with proper slope to convey water from Augusta to the Golf Course by the Developer. There are a total of 3 Association-owned drainages in Phase 2. Following discussion, Sharyn made a motion to determine whether the City will require a permit for any work done on the drainage, then determine what work may be required to fix this and any other drainages that are not working properly, and submit a proposal to the Board; which passed unanimously. An engineer would be needed and bids for the work would be obtained. Karin volunteered to head this up and will report back to the Board on findings.

Phase 3 Park Disturbance
As an update to the minutes from the July meeting, Karin mentioned that the Phase 3 park and trail have been nicely repaired/replaced by the City (City’s contractor) and she communicated “thanks” to the City via email.  We will need to keep an eye on the area for weeds over the next couple of years due to disturbance.


The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 am.
