Closed Meeting Session 2 (Residents, Board & HOA Retained Attorney)

  1. 7:50 PM — Open discussion: Darren Christenson (HOA President) & HOA retained Attorney
    1. Current situation & possible outcomes.
      1. Eric J. Groves provided information about the process of developing communications with the legal representative for Habitat for Humanity as well as the format for attending the hearings. Eric mentioned that we have the capability to request for a PUD instead of a R-1 Zoning. This zoning method allows for a negotiation between the development group, the City, and those people that might be affected by the development.
    2. Next steps.
      1. Eric J. Groves will request a continuance to move the date of the hearing so that he can attend.
      2. Eric will communicate with the legal representative for Habitat for Humanity and request to move the Re-Zoning to a PUD.
      3. Depending on the outcome of the Re-Zoning. We may or may not proceed with negotiating our recommendations for the planned development.
    3. Closing with the HOA retained Attorney
  1. 8:20 PM — Vote on representation, continuance and special assessment in March: Darren Christenson (HOA President)
    1. Neal Clonts – HOA Secretary made an announcement that our HOA Board needed a vote of confidence to move forward with legal representation for the HOA during the planning/hearing process and on into the future if the opportunity for negotiating existed. We announced that legal representation will incur a cost and that our Board currently does not have a budgetary number for this engagement however; we wanted to determine if there would be enough interest in pursuing counsel after the hearings. A link to the poll that states we would like to know if you as a homeowner will be willing to invest in the process through a special assessment (only if needed during that time). Neal mentioned that this is not an actual vote for special assessment. The vote for a special assessment would be presented at an official Board Meeting and would allow for homeowners during that time to determine whether or not to move forward. The estimated amount, during the March time frame would be around $100 per household. This is only an estimate and at this time we do not have an actual cost for this engagement until the hearings have completed.
