Old Business

Fence issue:
Results of the recent survey regarding installation of fences on any lot in Northlake Neighborhood were as follows:
• Those who preferred that the current covenant be left as is -- 60 responses
• Those who preferred that installation of fences be absolutely prohibited -- 46
• Those who preferred that fences be permitted only under special circumstances with written approval by the NNA BOD -- 35
• Those who did not indicate any preference -- 2

New Business

Open Forum -- Enforcement of the Covenants:
There was a lengthy discussion about enforcement of the NNA Covenants. Most of the members in attendance expressed concern that the ACC and the Board were not sufficiently diligent in enforcing the provisions of the Covenants. There was an especially strong sentiment expressed against the impending construction of a swimming pool and installation of a fence at 4239 Savannah Ct. Members questioned the authority of the ACC to grant approval for such a major project without input from members of the NNA, including those members whose properties are in the immediate vicinity of the pool/fence construction project. The discussion resulted in the following two motions:
• That the NNA BOD shall approach the attorney (who normally handles NNA BOD legal matters) to discuss options to delay construction of a pool/fence at 4239 Savannah Court pending further NNA review. (Moved by Nahn and seconded by Halberslaben, and unanimously approved)
• That if after discussion with the attorney the NNA BOD identifies feasible alternatives to delay said construction, that the NNA BOD execute such action within 48 hours from the date of the attorney’s response. (Moved by Nahn and seconded by Kalshoven, and unanimously approved).

Trail issue:
Responding to a question on the status of the grant for installing trails in the neighborhood, Nahn reported that he did not think that we would get the grant, and so the issue is dead for now.

Resignations:
The NNA BOD accepted the following resignations from the NNA-BOD, effective August 12, 2005:
• Annette Plante-Hogoboom
• Ken Player

NNA BOD officers:
The following Directors were elected to serve as officers:
• Chuck Nahn – President
• Dave Halberslaben – Vice-President
• Mandla Tshabalala – Secretary

The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
