6. Hot Topics:
-Jeremy: Lots have not paid dues. Dug into the archives early indication-don’t remember the lots being a part of S.L.P. Note: Lots are not part of S.L.P. there are documents of prior owners.
- Attorney Scott Turner wants to know: Does anyone know for writing about Unit 6?
-Ann: Doubt if S.L.P.P.O.A. have any written documents. Bootzin sold lots outside of the association. Between development and those buyers. Never discussed with S.L.P.P.O.A. Never been charged association dues. May have in 1st 15 years. Floating idea-Re-access to association roads may have paid. No evidence that we provided anything.
Paul:
Ann: I have only hearsay part of sweetness of the deal.
Suzanne: Asked Ann: Unit 6 plotted as a S.L.P.P.O.A Unit that Bootzin pulled out of plotted map?
Ann: I don’t know rule regulations and requirements. He subdivided Units 1,2,3 in 80’s subdivision. Proceeded to sell lots. Did release 4-10 to the association in the late 80’s. Ann came onto the Board in 95.
Jeremy: Very helpful. Need something in writing and recorded in with the county.
David: Different concern. Road S.L.P.P.O.A. Road being closed off to S.L.P.P.O.A. residence. Do S.L.P.P.O.A. people have ability to navigate road?
Paul: Draft road maintenance agreement. Draft agreement pending submission. Some improvements may be made on that road. It will still remain open by using High Road but remain in unimproved state that it is in. Wanted to build another road Tract A-lot 5 not going to happen. We are taking care of that going forward.
Paul: Harold?
Harold: I sent Paul a few things that I found out about the ownership. The lots will still be and were plotted as part of subdivision. Outside the association? The property owners’ subdivision platted Millers location not part of property owners’ association complex.
Jeremy: Make sure we can direct them in our best interest.
Paul: 1 of 3 choices to be discussed at a Board meeting. Lower fees, not maintaining High Road, will keep abreast of this.
Paul: Standing Committee Report. John Hines
