Unfinished Business

11030 FM 775 –Christopher L. Chapa 11030 FM 775, Lot 233 – Tractor Trailer Traffic /Business Disruption / Safety – update resident denying all violations. Sheldon spoke to Mr. Chapa, by telephone prior to tonight’s meeting, and thanked him for finding an alternative place to park his trucks. Sheldon told Mr. Chapa that he would offer a motion to the board to suspend his current violation fees of $1500.00 but that they would be immediately reinstated and further action would be taken if the trucks appeared back on the property. Mr. Chapa told Sheldon that he would occasionally need to bring his tractors on his property. Mr. Chapa agreed to theseconditions. Jim had a strong disagreement and expressed his concerns of Mr. Chapa followingthe provisions. Jim read CCR 3.06, which prohibits having tractors on the property to begin with. Jim recommended that Amy provide a letter on the board’s behalf to outline the specifics of the release of the violation fines. Sheldon moved for an approval to move forward and hold the violation charges in abeyance since Mr. Chapa has agreed to and moved his trucks. Colleen 2nd, motion passed 3-0.
214 Palo Verde - 2.5 story unfinished structure - Josue Israel M. Rodriguez. Plans were presented at the hearing Mr. Rodrigues requested. He is to submit the Property Improvement Request Form for the final approval. This has not been submitted yet.
171 Montesito- neighbors working out damage caused to a fence from a tree. Resolved.

New Business:

Stacy Collins is concerned about traffic in the area and Lisa Knight totally agreed. There is a gentleman who does home vehicle repairs in his garage in the evenings. There are flatbed trucks, about bi-weekly, dropping off vehicles. Charlie stated he has been by a few times and has seen nothing of sort. It was suggested that Stacy or Lisa provide photos of the situation for the ACC to act upon.
Lisa Knight is concerned about private property fences that are leaning really bad and have fallen into the horse trails and need to be fixed. This has not been validated by ACC but will be added to their list.
Colleen obtained 9 bids from contractors to mow the 6 entrances of the subdivision. The current contractor did not wish to give a bid. Board approved Vida Landscapes LLC for $300 a month. Sheldon moved to approve the contract and Jim 2nd. Passed 3-0.
The vacancy for Treasurer continues to exist. Jim stated he will continue to look for areplacement, but he will only assist with the books till the end of this year.
Jim inquired if he could pressure wash the entrance signs as they are quite dirty. Both Sheldon and Colleen agreed.
CD has matured. Question is do we want to renew the CD or transfer the money within Edward Jones? Sheldon was going to contact Andy at Edward Jones and discuss options available
