OAK CREEK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION INC.

 

Minutes of the January 10, 2005 Annual meeting of Oak Creek Homeowners Association and minutes of the January 10, 2005 Board Meeting.

 

Minutes of the Annual meeting:

 

Election of three new members to the governing board.

There were only three people who volunteered for the board and they were elected unanimously.  Two new members of the board are: Mark Faulhaber and Jim Lee.

Tom Hytry was the third member who was reelected.

 

Leaving the board were Fred Krug (last year’s Treasurer) and Dave Hanck.  Special thanks were given to them for all of their hard work for The Association.

 

Fred Krug reported that The Association ended the year with $42,970 in reserve (up from $31,016 at this time last year).  This was more than double the $5000 that the board is trying to increase in the reserve account each year.

 

Vote on the two amendments to the Covenants:

 

As of the homeowners meeting on January 10, 2005 only 21 people have returned their ballots on the two amendments.  Amendments to the Covenants require written approval of Ύ of the association members or 52 yes votes.  We are sending out the amendments again in the minutes.  If you did not reply please do.  We need either 52 yes votes or 19 no votes (1/4).  Ballots can either be return by mail to Avenue 1000 or faxed to Carol Smith at their office (630) 985-6775.  Ballets can also be returned to any board member.

 

The two changes to the covenants that are out for ballot are:

 

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 structural modification to an existing home needs to have prior written approval by the Architectural Review Committee.”

 

The first change reflects 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
