requests for Tree Removals (To comply with the 100’canping rule) 2 Garage
Requests at Lots 538 and 494, 2 Contiguous Lot Status Requests for Lots 582-581
and 401-400 and new Residences at Lots 704, 405, 921 and 993. Reminders for campers: Only items to be left
on campsite are picnic tables and woodpiles if covered by green or brown
tarps. All camping units must be off
lots by October 31. If not removed
within a probationary period, there will be a fine of one year’s assessment.
Tim
Fall reported a suggestion was made to change the title of the Campground
Committee to a title reflecting family recreation, as that is the emphasis of
present projects.
Fortunately
there are several people who have volunteered for various committees. However, there is still a need for volunteers
for all WBL Committees. Anyone
interested in volunteering for any committee, please contact the Manager.
The missing lamppost at the entrance will be replaced and the costs borne by Arctic Express Freight Co., whose driver had the misfortune to back into the post. Labor Day weekend passed with only a few minor incidents and traffic at the clubhouse was lighter than in past years. The roof contractor has been contacted for specific dates to begin roof replacement. The well driller will begin to survey the location for the electric service at Teal Lake. Craig Wilson, who was injured in the ORV accident, has been moved to a hospital closer to home to continue recuperation. Fred Witchell has looked at costs to build a 3-tier boat storage rack to be implemented at White Birch Lake initially. A steel post will be mounted in concrete about 6” ahead of the pedestal at the guardhouse to prevent driver’s rearview mirrors from smashing the box around the keypad. When completed a new shroud will be installed.

Phil
Stopke, Lots 1319-20, stated that he has serious reservations regarding the
present covenants and restrictions as they apply to campers whereby campers are
not allowed to have storage sheds in which to put away items, which lead to lot
clutter. His suggestion is to allow
environmentally safe storage units built to certain specifications and to
charge the Environmental Committee to find a suitable location for placement on
each lot. Secondly he feels it is
inequitable for homeowners to be granted contiguous lot status. He further requests that the Board consider
if the new proposals are fair and equitable for all members. He was advised that ultimately it is the
members who will approve or disapprove any new covenants and restrictions.
Further discussion by Joe Romine, Lot 542, and Mike Dalka, Lot 467, indicates
that there are differing opinions of the interpretation of camping
regulations. Mike also recommended that
members who have dogs attach tags showing dog and owners names so that should
they stray they can be identified.
Billie
Roffe, Lot 651, inquired about the date for the community yard sale. The annual garage sale will be held Sat, Oct
6.
None.
Motion to adjourn made by
Marv Richardson. Seconded by Todd
