The following homeowners were also present: Sandy Worzala, Carole Crum, and Don Hahn.
Annual Meeting: The date for the annual meeting was set for Monday, January 10, 2005 at 7:00 p.m. at the Oak Creek Clubhouse. There are three board positions up for election. We encourage everyone to get involved – it is your community.

Secretary’s Report: The minutes of November 1, 2004 were approved.
Treasurer's
Report: Budget is on track.
Currently we have $38,700 in reserve. One homeowner has a past due
balance. Avenue 1000 sent a reminder letter in November.
Club House: Farm Colony Homeowners
Association asked if they could rent the clubhouse for their meetings (about 3
times a year). The board approved the
request for rent at $190 per time (with a $250 deposit) with a maximum of three
times a year. They will let us know if still interested.
Grounds: Getting bids for snow
removal. Previous service provider
is no longer plowing snow.
By-Laws: The board recommends the passing of the following
two changes to the covenants:.
Two
changes to the covenants that will be proposed at the December meeting:
1) Change Article III section
1: which states ”No ..more than two domestic animal pets … shall
be kept or maintained on any lot.” To “No
.. more than four domestic animal pets, of which no more than three shall be
dogs, … shall be kept or maintained on any lot.”
2) Add to Article III – section
12 and new subsection H): which will state:
“Any external modification to an
existing home needs to have prior
written approval by the Architectural Review Committee.”
The
first change reflexes the fact that a number of homeowners currently have 3
dogs, which is not currently causing any problems.
The
second change fixes a hole in the covenants in terms of what is covered by the
Architectural Review Committee
(See
attachment for ballot – we need ¾ of the homeowners to return a yes vote for
the above to pass. Not replying is a no
vote)
New Business: Avenue 1000 has requested
an increase in what they charge us (from $580 to $620 a month) for management
fees. They have not raised the rate in 4
years. The board approved the raised
provided Avenue 1000 agrees not to raise the rate for the next 3 to 5 years.
Avenue 1000 agreed to hold the fee for 3 years.
Meeting adjourned 7:25 p.m.
