In Attendance: Shawn, Dave, Bill, Wes, Kirk, Justin. also in attendance were Phoebe Fornier and Mindy Scott

Agenda:

1- Onboarding New Board Member – Kayla Decker. Kayla will take responsibility for the gate. Wes will take the role of Vice President/Treasurer

2-Wadman development update – utilities/ gate relocation/ road construction. The road was cut into the property today (3/10/20). The utilities were never run to the end of Jessie Creek. They will have to be extended from where they end near Don Scott’s home. They will probably need to cut into the road. The gate at the end of the road will be re-located to block Scott’s back driveway. Mindy expressed concern over motorized vehicles causing fires. The development of this property will curtail this kind of activity.

3-Sewer Update – 1000 feet of our sewer system runs across the Rocky Mountain Power easement. In 1978 this was not recorded. We had to have the line surveyed and provided a description for this line. Rocky Mountain granted Pole Patch an easement through their property for $1,000. This will be recorded this week. There was also a line through D’Agnillo’s property that was not recorded. D’Agnillo’s have granted a legal easement as well. There have not been any significant repairs to our sewer system that have been required so far. There are however several manhole covers that need to be raised. As the city takes over the system, billing will remain through Pole Patch – at least until they take over the water.

4-Gate Discussion: The gate has been broken. There was a burnt out motor that has now been replaced. We got a quote to replace our existing gate equipment and it was over $8,000 each. We will continue to repair the existing gate as necessary. We need to add some reflective tape to the exit side of the gate. We discussed updating the look of the gate. Everyone will look for pictures of things we like (pinterest, etc) and we’ll discuss it at the next meeting.

5-Fire Plan – Kirk has agreed to talk with the fire department to help us prepare for a possible fire. There are many issues that should be discussed such as emergency evacuation and reducing fire danger.

6-Water Discussion – This is still in process. We will move forward with this after the sewer system is complete. There MAY be requirements from the city regarding meters, etc as we go.

6.5- Ron Peterson issue with meter not reading. For about a year Ron’s meter has not been working with the electronic reader. John will send him a letter with a deadline.

7- Discussion – change meeting time from 7pm to 6:15? This was approved. The next meeting will be at 6:15

8-Trail access/ trespassing – we discussed finding ingress/egress areas in our community that allow people to to easily trespass. One such area is by John Parker’s lot. Wes will go take a look and we can discuss a solution. The Wadman development will also help with this. There a couple of gates that probably belong to Pole Patch along the powerline easement that might be recycled for use.

9- Exhibits for approval: Martin’s and Bradley’s have both submitted house plans for approval.

Section 6 requires min sf of 2500 for main only or if 2 story 3600 with 2,000 on main/ 3 car garage – both plans meet this requirement

Request for variance on setback requirement of 100′ from the road to the house. They are requesting 40′ from asphalt to edge of garage – There are several houses in Pole Patch already who are closer than the setback requirement.

Kerner 69′ Barker 77′ Stakebake 49′ Wheeler 83′ Hargraves 52’/44′ Madsen 86′

Where these two houses are going to be placed off the end of Jessie Creek, the board is willing to grant a variance to both homes to be 50′ off the road.

Site Plan for Bradley & Martin Residences. 40′ from asphalt

Section 6 of the ccr’s -the section that governs home construction & placement…

Spencer Bradley- Home Plans for approval- 2,768 sf on main – 3 car garage-

Braden Martin – Home Plans for approval- 2,644 sf on main – 4 car garage-

Welcome – Shawn Maynard

Budget Review – John Sears: HOA is in very great shape. Balance sheet is pretty similar to last years. All owners received copies of the annual budget, cash flow and other financial information. The Board receives and approves copies of invoices every month for approval prior to payment.

Water/Sewer System Takeover: We have been working with the city trying to get them to take over some of our infrastructure (sewer and water). Currently Pole Patch owns the sewer system. The state made this illegal…it must be owned by the city. The city has now agreed to take over the sewer system. They are requiring us to turn this over to them in a good working condition. We put $18,000 into escrow to cover costs to have the system inspected and repaired where necessary. So far, there have been no major problems. This money will pay for any repairs necessary. Some of our system appears to be outside of our neighborhood. We have to get this surveyed and recorded. Currently, all billing will stay as it currently is. After the sewer system has been transferred over, they will start the same process with the water system. There will be some expenses to bring our water system up to code. Mainly back flow devices on non-culinary water uses. This will be required by all owners. There may be some water meters that need to be replaced as well.

Wadman/Kapp easement: We negotiated an easement with Wadmans which will keep their 30 acres to 3 lots. This will be better than the potential of up to 30 lots. The development will begin within the next few weeks. Kapps have 40 acres behind Fournier’s property that they are trying to get an easement to as well…Shawn as been working with them on an easement through the existing roads. Wadman’s have granted Kapps an easement through their property so this should protect our residents from a forced easement.

Roads/Snow: Justin reported that snow removal has gone well so far. If there is any problem with snow removal please let Justin know. Aspen paving who did crack sealing on our roads also did crack sealing for residents. This seemed to be a good deal for our owners. We will need some repairs across from Clark’s this year.

Gate/Cameras: There are sensor problems with the gates…this has been on-going. We have installed optical sensors, but are still having some issues. Currently the gates will not close. We have had discussions about replacing the Pole Patch Gate. It now looks dated. We have towers that are “leaning” and other issues. There was some discussion on if we should replace the entire gate – including the stone pillars, replace the mechanical gate itself, or just keep repairing the existing gate. The Board will get bids on several options for the gate. The cameras are also having some issues, but to upgrade to something with higher resolution would cost thousands of dollars. We will work to at least get the existing cameras fixed.

CC&R Amendment: Over the years, the board has made changes to the CC&R’s to maintain the “feel” of the community. We are proposing that section 6.09 be updated to more clearly define “aesthetics”. There were concerns that these adjustments might be might be too broad. – Vote was taken and this amendment did not pass.

Fire Review: Each of us as landowners need to be pro-active in removing fuels from our lots. The fire department has offered to help with this. We discussed contacting the forest service about helping to haul off piles of branches. The board will contact the forest service or

Elections: Bruce and Kirk have served their term. Kayla Decker was elected, and Kirk has agreed to serve one more year.

Fine Resolution: Several years ago a fine resolution was adopted, but never recorded. We have adopted and recorded a fine structure.

Electronic meeting held to consider a request from Gary and Shauna Davis to construct a 18′ x 20′ pavilion on their property. This will be tucked into the trees in a natural hollow and will be minimally visible. It was noted that the siding material would possibly not be approved if the structure was in an area that was more visible, however with this request the structure is not visible from the road or from the neighbors. The request has been approved unanimously.

Members in attendance: Bruce Englesby, Shawn Maynard, Bill Kerner, Dave Parks, Kirk Chugg, Justin Wood, excused- Wes Whitehead.

Had further discussions on amending the CCR’s to address anything that might effect the aesthetics of a neighboring lot. The board unanimously voted to present the addition of paragraph 6.091 to the owners for a vote on making the addition to the CCR’s

Currently there is no fine structure in place to enforce violations of the CCR’s. John provided the draft of the fine resolution created several years ago & the board filled in the dollar amounts and approved the fine structure to be recorded.

The lot at the end of Waterfall has been acquired by a new owner. There are many hardships accompanying this lot that might need to be addressed by the board. We will consider variances when they present lot plans.

Sewer and Water agreement with the city – The city has offered to take over the sewer system – the terms are essentially- that pole patch will need to hand it over to the city in good working order “similar to if it was a new development” meaning we will have to provide legal description and utility easement and the system will have to be inspected and be handed over in good working order- so any deficiencies will have to be repaired. Pole patch will have to pay to get it ready to hand over & cover those expenses along with the costs of the hand off. The board voted unanimously to move forward with this process.

Water- the board has been working with the city for years to transfer ownership of the water system to the city as well… a similar process to the one described above will be required for the water system – the board has on multiple occasions voted to pursue this course of action and re-affirms that desire at this meeting.

In attendance: Shawn, Kirk, Dave, Bill, Wes, John

Discussed proposed CCR addendum: Made changes to draft that will be presented to ownership for approval. This proposed change deals with installations or placements of items that may affect the neighborhood. We will review a second draft of the addendum as it is available.

Rocky Mountain Power is installing no trespassing signs along the power lines

John will calculate the funds needed to cover our expenses through March of next year. Any excess funds will be transferred to our reserve account.

Wes noted concerns with a section of road in front of his house. The first time a snowplow runs over this area, it will snag and create a pothole. Wes will look at a repair product to fix that one spot. We will pay for this material if it works

At the next meeting we will discuss the fine resolution and fine schedule for corrective items that need to be fixed

The roads have been crack sealed, and Wes and his boys have trimmed the trees back off the road

Talks continue to have Pleasant View take over our Water and Sewer systems

Discussed ongoing issues with the gate. Wes is going to weld a plate on the bottom of the post. Kendall Madsen has run a pipe to supply water to the flowers by the gate. Kirk had a discussion with the fire department regarding getting through the gate in an emergency. Also, they would like to come and talk to us during our yearly meeting.

2020’s yearly meeting will be February 10th.

Easement Kapp – The situation with the Kapp property has changed to the point that our offer to them will not work. We are currently at an impass on this.

Easement Wadman – There will be 3 more lots added to Pole Patch at the West end of Jessie Creek. We will send a letter to them outlining the conditions. Shawn Maynard is interested in purchasing one of the lots. He will not participate in any decisions the board might make regarding this.

New Board Assignments: Bill Kerner – Water, Justin Wood – Roads

Roads: We are pretty happy with the snow removal this year. Sky will be increasing his rate next year to cover wear and tear.

We may have to get a tree service to come up and trim back trees on our roads. There are several places where trees are growing over the roads. We will get a bid along with the weed trimming.

Wadman expansion: They are looking at building 2 homes at the upper end of Jessie Creek. The problem right now is with the water. We are looking at some potential solutions that could benefit both them and Pole Patch with existing water capacity issues-currently, we don’t have capacity to handle all the lots

We are starting to look at plans for a summer party. Wes will ask someone to host this year.

John reviewed the 2018 Budget, Balance Sheet and 2019 Budget. Major repair last year was the upper road resurface. Assets are just over $74,000

Shawn opened elections for three board positions. Shawn Maynard was re-elected as President. Bill Kerner and Justin Wood will also serve on the board

We are looking at the possibility having 2 homes built on the west end of Jessie Creek (Wadman Property). There are 5 lots available, but only water for 2 currently.

The owner of the Kapp property – beyond the Wadman property has requested an easement through Pole Patch to access his property. We have had an attorney draw up an easement that we have agreed to. Currently there is no plan to develop this property.

Don reported on the water system. We are using Tyson at Pleasant View City to be our “water master” He does this separate from his PV job. We are still working with the city to take over our water system. Tyson has been working with the city council in working towards this goal. We will meet with the city council probably in March. This is not something that we need to do…we are just looking at it. John can provide testing on our water system to anyone who would like to see them

Shawn talked about increasing our yearly HOA fee. The lower section of Pole Patch Drive is going to have to be replace in the next 5-7 years. We need to begin to accrue funds to replace this section. $150,000 is the estimate to replace the road. We propose to increase the dues by $350.00 to cover this.

Pole Patch purchased a tank sprayer to keep the weeds down on the side of the road. John D’Agnillo is spraying the weeds currently. This sprayer is available to anyone who would like to use it.

Snow removal is going very good this year. We are seeing a couple issues with trees hanging into the road. If you have trees on your lot, please make sure they are trimmed off the road. Overall, we are happy with the service this year.

We replaced the keypad on the gate this year, it is now lit at night.

Solar panels are pre-approved to go on roofs. Free standing panels need to be approved by the board.

Please keep fire hydrants on your property free of snow.

Speed has been an issue on Pole Patch. Also, if you are walking early morning or late at night, make sure you wear reflective material.

All documents relating to roads, water, etc. are available on our website. Contact a board member if you would like to see them.

The approach to the gate is very rough. This road belongs to the city, and they don’t have plans to repair it. When we make any repairs to our road, perhaps we can overlay that small section.

In attendance:  Shawn Maynard, Dave Park, Bruce Engleby, Wes Whitehead, Don Scott, Elaine D’Agnillo, John Sears

Excused:  Kirk Chugg

Discussed dues increase to cover ongoing road maintenance.  We are proposing a $350 per year increase to cover this expense (explained in August minutes).  The board can increase dues by 20% without a vote of the members, which would be $300.  We will take a vote at the yearly meeting to increase to $350

Annual meeting will be Monday, February 11, 2019 at 7:00 and will be held at the Pleasant View City Office.  Elaine and Don have both served their terms on the board and their positions will have to be filled

Christmas Party: Kara Liston has offered to host a Christmas Party for the neighborhood.  We will contribute $300 towards the party, and offer to assist any way we can.

Archive work done at pole patch:  We are asking all board members to report all actions that they have been responsible for (road maintenance, snow removal, water system work, etc) so that future board members can reference the information.  We will put this all on the website.

Prep for annual meeting

Snow removal will be done by Sky Rands Roofing this coming winter

We need to discuss water in our next meeting

Shawn will approach Ron Peterson about serving on the board
