Extensive damage done to the park over the MLK holiday weekend. Our landscaper has surveyed the damage and will repair at a cost $450. The tracks will be raked out and will be reseeded. If anyone has any information regarding this incident, please get in touch with the association.

A leak has been discovered in the park and Mae Landscaping is aware of it and will be troubleshot in May when water is scheduled to resume. The leak appears to be in the NW corner of the park but further investigation will determine the location.

A situation has arisen regarding an installed RV Shelter on 45th Ave SE. We had several homeowners in attendance at the meeting expressing their concern with this structure. The board did approve an RV structure at a 12x12x30 in September 2015. However, the homeowner installed a much larger shelter that is higher and wider than originally specified. After a 90 minute discussion, it was decided to await a decision pending from Snohomish County’s review and response. The issues that have been brought up for the county to address are the following:

o The structure is over 200 sq ft o The setback from the fence should be 5’ – appears to be closer o The setback from the property line should be 25’ is required – appears to be closer o No gutters o 2 previous outbuildings on the property – county allows only one o SWPPP (Storm Water Protection Plan) - A SWPPP is a narrative and site plan that identifies

measures such as best management practices that prevents soil erosion and sedimentation.

The new homeowner has indicated that he has no plans of altering or removing at the current time.

Complaints have been filed on behalf of the association and by a homeowner on 45th Ave SE representing several homeowners on this street.

Another meeting is tentative upon completion of the investigation by the county. REMINDERS
