The BOD revisited the issue of coach lights on houses again. It was stated that the county is working on drafting a code for residential lighting. The BOD stood by their previous position that they would not be the “light police” and leave it to the county since they are working on a code. It was also noted that the Sheriff is telling Neighborhood Watch to leave front lights on.

10. Appeal of 4022 Prairie Zinnia
The owner submitted for concrete driveway to access the side RV gate to store his car when they are gone out of town. The BOD discussed the issue at length. The BOD did receive the neighbor’s approval of the extension. John expressed that the Board should address the issue of these extensions with a policy prohibiting them. John made a motion to deny the appeal, Janice seconded, passed unanimously.
Dave suggested that the DRC come up with guidelines restricting these extensions.

11. View Fence Painting
The BOD agreed that the HOA is responsible to paint three sides of the view fence. It was suggested that Boulder Pass #1 and the Gateway be painted along with the list of problem fences. If the problem fence is in a row of fences the entire row should be painted. The Board asked that the painter look at the problem fences and prepare a price for them and the row they are in and attend the April meeting.

12. Dog Issue
The Board expressed that the rec. center is a residential area not a dog park. The BOD has been trying to be dog friendly with installing Mutt Mitts and a garbage can. Animal Control has been issuing citations for dogs not a leash. The idea of a fenced area for dogs only was brought up.
