Harbour Towne Condominium Association
 Special Board Meeting
 October 13, 2011
                                                                 

The meeting was called to order by President Jerry Siminski at 10:00am at the home of Howard Hakken.

Attending:  Jerry Siminski, President; Dan Weller, Treasurer; Peggy Scouten, Secretary; Howard Hakken  (Jim Geisler was not in attendance but was made aware by phone of the decision)

The Special Board Meeting was called to make a decision regarding deck expansions at 1472-1478 W. Harbour Towne Circle (building #43).

Because of the close proximity of unit decks and the mixed opinions of the co-owners, the Board determined that a majority of the co-owners (3 out of 4) should support any final decision. Initially, co-owners in Building #43 voted and failed to reach a majority decision to allow all decks to be extended out away from the building an additional 4 feet.

Dave and Rosemary Shoemake sent a letter and attended the October Board Meeting to explain their position on their requested deck expansion.  They felt some of the co-owners may have been confused by the e-mail wording.   Jerry Siminski personally called and talked to the other co-owners to get their vote/opinion.  Co-owners failed to reach a majority.

At the Special Meeting of the Board, after much review and discussion, Howard Hakken made a motion to allow a 4 foot width deck expansion provided that a majority of the co-owners (minimum 3 out of 4) concurred with the concept.  Dan Weller seconded the motion.  The motion was approved unanimously.  The Board had discussed concerns about expanding the width of decks including that it would be more costly as an additional support member must be added, and additional steps that must be taken to assure that attaching additional decking to the wood siding does not result in numerous leaks within the walls.  (Howard Hakken will provide 2 sketches - one depicting a 4 foot deck width expansion and the other a 4 foot expansion outward from the building with comments)
President Siminski will put together a letter/e-mail to be sent to the co-owners for their decision.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:50am.

Respectfully Submitted

Peggy E. Scouten
