Chairman’s Report:

• Discussion of Whistle Tree HOA & Scribner’s Lodge landscape site plan issue:
  Greg Lubow wrote a letter to D. Caropresso with copy to Chairman Slutzky regarding the HOA problems with Scribner putting trees behind Scribner Building behind the parking lot. Scribner put spruce bushes and a berm and they felt these were not in the site plan. The Lubow letter addresses a possible drainage issue. Chairman Slutzky stated D. Caropresso issued a COS. Chairman Slutzky added that this is not a code issue but an asthetic view.
  Chairman Slutzky stated he and Glennon Travis and Chad Linberg went out and looked at the spot where issue is located. One concern was drainage and the berm could back up water and go onto the other property. Glennon Travis suggested a rock lined ditch to divert water onto the Scribner property. Chairman Slutzky suggested a drainage ditch thru the berm to direct water onto Scribner property. G. Lubow stated he will go back to the HOA and give them the Board’s response and will get answer back to the Board.
• Discussion of Fyodorov Architectural Review Issues: G. Goodrich said the Fyodorovs said they had trailers. Chairman Slutzky said “no they said modular homes” and added that when they came to Board for lot line adjustment, the water, sewer and electric don’t cross over the lots
  Unless easements are done. Moore Homes ran common lines but the Fyodorovs did not rewrite
  The deeds to show the easements from one property to the other. Chairman Slutzky stated they
  Need to deal with the easement issues and fix the utility lines correctly in order to move forward.
