HARBOUR VIEWS – SEPTEMBER ‘08
E-NEWS
Neighborhood News
Board News: In response to comments made by residents at the
annual meeting as well as issues presented to Board members, your Board of
Directors has devoted many hours to determine the best way to deal with safety
and nuisance problems.
Our attorney has advised that
the Board is empowered to create rules and policies on these matters and, in
addition, has the right to create an enforceable fine structure (as other
subdivisions have), for violations.
After several meetings with law enforcement
officials and fellow property owner associations around the lake, the Board is
proceeding as follows: 1) Draft regulations which will outline the
association's stance on a) unlicensed motorized vehicles, b) noise from such
vehicles, c) golf carts driven by underage minors, d) golf carts driven at
night without lights and e) rowdy behavior and curfew violations. 2) Distribute
copies of the draft regulations and fine structure to all property owners
of record. 3) Hold a property owners' forum to discuss pros and cons;
additions, deletions or changes to the draft and 4) distribute final copies of
approved regulations and fine structure to all property owners, indicating the
date the regulations will start to be enforced.
Bowsprit Point Boat/Jet Ski Launch: Several residents have expressed concern over
vehicles with trailers being left unattended at the Bowsprit Point launch. Often this is because a single person is
launching their jet ski and then leaves to tie it up elsewhere. The Board
of Directors has decided to allow parking at this ramp for up to 10
minutes. This should allow for adequate
time to tie up your jet ski and retrieve your vehicle from blocking the launch
ramp. Please be considerate to your fellow property owners and do no
leave your vehicle parked in the ramp for more than 10 minutes.
ARC News:
Members of the ARC approved 4
residents' request for work to be done on or around their property. Three other
requests are being reviewed.
During the month of Oct. the
ARC will be conducting a walk-around to check compliance with guidelines and
policies as stated in the property owner's handbook. Please refer to the
handbook and correct any violations as soon as possible.
The ARC's goal is to
encourage maintenance and enhancement of personal and community property within
the framework of the deed restrictions. Approval/application forms are
available online or in the office. Your requests will be handled in an
efficient manner.
