Mr. and Mrs. Traci presented an update re proposed residence. Discussion centered on possible drainage issues. The owners indicated that the building firm would talk with County officials re infiltration system proposed to offset the run-off to other areas. M.Fleming suggested that the drainage historically has been a problem and the County and or SBCA ARC should make some determinations to ensure that water run-off is not harmful to neighbors. He also asked that the contractors’ trucks and equipment be parked other than on the street for safety and traffic reasons. He also wanted to make sure the contractors understand they are to work only between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm. L.Elton  reminded the Traci’s that the location of the heat pump must keep it out of sight and be not be a  noise problem; landscaping plans are yet to be submitted

New Business:                                             

L.Colasurdo asked that ARC board members submit to her their ideas re changes to the design standards in order to start a process of redefining view, etc as was discussed at last month’s meeting.  She feels that these design standard changes of definitions must be quickly and clearly delineated as this topic occurs frequently in permit applications.

L.Colasurdo gave out copies of a newspaper article dedicated to tree cutting fines.

Discussion:

T. Callahan inquired re a previous owner appeal and whether those trees had been pruned.

L. Elton suggested that we ask M. Morgan to discuss with Shattuck, the Board’s attorney, re the Loomis situation, the motion to compel that has not yet been filed, nor the permit yet to be signed by Loomis relating to his house constuction in South Bay. A neighbor has complained re bright lights from that same location shining into their house.
