Eagle Landing Homeowners Association
Board of Directors Meeting
02-09-2010
Meeting was called to order at 5:05 pm. All members were present except our CPA. There were 3 visitors present.
Minutes of meetings from December and January were read.
Treasurer's Report was read with one question raised.
A motion of acceptance for both minutes and the treasurer's report was made by Tom Minor and seconded by Jim Higgins, subject to a question of the CPA; motion carried.
Architectural Committee:
Mr. Arnold wants to build a home and a 18x20' dock with a cover over the boat slip portion. The roof of the dock will be made from the same roof materials as the home but the type was not specified. It was agreed that more house plan details were needed so approval was restricted to the dock now. Glen Terry motioned to accept the dock. Jan Kenyan seconded the motion. Approval to dock only for now, was carried.
Mr. Grogan wants to build a covered 24x30' open-sided carport. There were no violations. Tom Minor made a motion to approve and Glen Terry seconded it. Motion was carried.
Fire Wise & ISO: A State of Texas Forest Service grant was received by the Avinger VFD towards a slip-on skid unit which dispenses foam. This is another step towards maintaining our Fire Wise compliance and will help towards further reduction in our ISO rating.
Neighborhood Watch: All signs have been erected.
Grounds:
A bid for $1100 was submitted by Taylor Vegetation Control for an annual spraying of a herbicide on the back of the dam and along the front side of the water's edge to control the unwanted weeds and tall grasses. Discussion ensued about the toxicity of the planned herbicide to be used. Glen Terry will inquire about the toxicity danger.
Road repairs were discussed. Jan Kenyan had previously sent a letter and photos to our county commissioner Brett Fitts, from the Avinger VFD, stating that wash out road repairs needed to be made a priority due to the inability of emergency vehicles to safely pass through during emergencies, especially at night. Frank Galloway reported that Mr. Fitts told him that as soon as the gravel pits are dry enough to accept road repair vehicles we are on the top of the list for repairs.
Old Business:
Legal: Further discussion about the discovery progress of a lawsuit between the HOA and a homeowner running a suspected kennel was brought up and our attorney will be contacted.
Broken water main: Mims Water sent the board a letter about an unmarked water main that was broken by the contractor performing dam spillway repairs. We are awaiting additional information from the Mims attorneys. The contractor has been notified.
There is still firewood and dirt available at Frank Galloway’s hangar.
A request for reinbursement of neighborhood sign parts for $7.50, was made by Jan Kenyan. Frank Galloway will contact Debbie Dennis.
New Business:
Don Perry requested approval for a week long revival at his hanger in mid-April. Jan Kenyan made a motion to approve the request, with a second by Jim Higgins. Motion carried.
One visitor suggested we start an e-mail notification for security alerts. Currently such alerts are posted on our website. A notice will be posted at the bulletin board asking that anyone wishing to be so notified contact Jan Kenyan at 903-562-1549, with their email address. It was mentioned that a new community blog designed for debut in March 2010 will assist in notification.
Another visitor requested that the name of our monthly hosted dinners be changed to reflect that the dinners are open to all, not just to those in a club. Agreement was reached that the new name will be Eagle Landing Community Dinners, and the name on this website will be changed to reflect that.
Mr. Frazier wants to purchase a plane and move his RV which is now in his hanger, outside, adjacent to the hanger. He wants to live in the RV with no plans to build a home currently. Objections were expressed by Jim Higgins, Jan Kenyan, and Jim Trimble. Frank Galloway will send him a letter requesting him to re-read our bylaws.
Ms. Wiggins desires to build a home on a residential plot on the airstrip. No one had specific objections. George Meriweather will draft a letter to her mentioning that restrictions will apply, the same as a non-lakeside residential lot.
Our annual meeting will be the first Saturday in May. Jim Trimble will become acting president for the meeting. Further actions are planned to plan for this meeting.
Next Meeting: Will be on March 16th at 5 pm at Avinger school. Trent Gale will be a guest speaker.
A motion was made by Jim Higgins and seconded by Tom Minor to adjourn. Carried.
