BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

 January 26, 2010

  9:30 a.m.

Pledge of Allegiance:  Pres. Granucci asked all in attendance to join in reciting the pledge.

Call to Order: The meeting was called to order promptly at 9:30 a.m.

Roll Call: Pete Granucci, Linda Lindquist, Ben Roloff, Lyle Roth, Kay Bush, Rick Gray, Roy Logan, Walt Patterson, Jim Powell, Jim Stark, and Marie Weekley

Agenda: Walt Patterson moved approval of the proposed agenda.  The motion was seconded and passed.

Suspension of Rules: Rick Gray moved the rules be suspended to take comments from members in attendance.  The motion was seconded and passed.

Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Audina presented a series of concerns and asked many questions regarding restrictions on height of Sun City residences.  They used an example of a building that added a second story that is located on Cameo Drive.  They stated their belief the remodeled structure does not keep the architectural integrity of the neighborhood and diminishes property values for neighboring properties.  The Audinas were informed that Maricopa County issues building permits and controls height restrictions, as our C.C.&R’s do not restrict height.  A general information exchange ensued regarding the process/cost of amending the general C.C.&R.’s.

One other resident spoke regarding his concerns in general about residents not following proper parking procedures.

Return to Regular Order of Business:  Walt Patterson moved the board return to the regular order of business.  The motion was seconded and passed.

Committee of the Whole:  Following the return to the Orders of the Day, the board convened informally as a Committee of the Whole and discussed a growing concern within the community regarding several instances of residents adding second stories to their homes.  There was general agreement that a simple policy statement could be passed, but it might not be sufficient.   Perhaps a resolution discouraging second story additions should be considered for the future. 

December 15, 2009 Minutes:  Approval was moved by Rick Gray, which was seconded and passed without dissent.

Treasurer’s Report:  Ben Roloff moved the December financial report be received and filed for audit.  The motion was seconded and passed.
