The minutes of the May 22nd meeting were approved. 2) Review the Current Agenda. Members reviewed the agenda for this meeting. 3) Approval of the Consent Agenda. Rich MC, Lot 17, 5529 Canvasback Rd. Patio - Change approved. 4) Acceptance/Courtesy Review a) Declarant – CN Lot 10 – xxxx Wood Duck Loop. The plans were accepted for posting in the Carnoustie neighborhood. Additional comments include screening of the heat pump. Impervious is within acceptable range at 32.02%. b) Declarant – CN Lot 11 – xxxx Wood Duck Loop. The plans were accepted for posting in the Carnoustie neighborhood. Additional comments include screening of the heat pump. Fireplace will have direct venting. Impervious is 34.6%, with pavers 38.42%. c) Declarant – CN Lot 15 – xxxx Wood Duck Loop. The plans were accepted for posting in the Carnoustie neighborhood. Additional comments include screening of the heat pump. Impervious 34.4% with pavers 38.4%. d) Declarant – CN Lot 16 – xxxx Wood Duck Loop. The plans were accepted for posting in the Carnoustie neighborhood. Additional comments include screening of the heat pump. Impervious is 34.3%, with pavers 37.9%. During excavation, if needed, Morrie will contact the ASC office if trees on lot 17 are affected (root exposure, etc.) The Declarant will use their best judgment as it relates to the retention of trees. 5) Formal Review. No submissions were formally reviewed at this meeting. 6) Construction/Compliance Consultant’s (CCC) Report. The Construction Compliance Consultant reported no new non-compliance matters. It has been reported that there are trees in the Boundary Ridge I neighborhood that may not be in compliance as it relates to the SRA View Control Plan. Rob Bloch will conduct a study by reviewing the waterfront lots to see if there are any newly planted trees that may be obstructing views for those living on the second tier. The View Control Plan was implemented in 1995, thus some trees have been “grandfathered”. Rob will follow up with a resident in the Boundary Ridge I neighborhood who inquired about the height of trees to let them know a study is underway. Once the ASC has reviewed the study, a report will be sent to the Boundary Ridge I Homeowners Association for their review and comment. 7) Inspections. a) Dunn, SAGIV-B, Lot 37, 5351 Canvasback Rd. – Final Inspection. The inspection was scheduled for Tuesday, June 17th, at 9:00 a.m. 8) New Business a) Orbanosky – SAGIV-C, Lot 49 - Neighbor trimmed tree ( Letter dated 5-29-08). The CC&Rs allow tree limbs to be trimmed, thus this is a neighbor to neighbor issue. b) PABCO Roofing Products. A sample board of PABCO roofing products was presented to the ASC committee members. In referencing the CC&R’s: “Roofing material(s): Natural cedar shingles or shakes, or a substitute roofing material which looks like shingle or shakes in size, thickness, texture and color, from an approved list of substitutes as established by the Board of Directors of Semiahmoo Resort Association.” As the PABCO sample does not meet the criteria listed above, the ASC does not endorse the use of this product in the Semiahmoo community. This determination will be forwarded to the SRA Board of Directors for review. c) Monks – GV, Lot 25, 9057 Gleneagle Dr. – Skylight Approval The additional skylights are approved, contingent upon not overruling the Gleneagle Villa Homeowners Association determination on this request. Bryan Johnson abstained from the vote. d) Wright - MC, Lot 7, 5552 Canvasback Rd. - Fieldstone Wall/Landscaping. The request to construct a Fieldstone wall (approximately 25 feet) and landscape with shade plants. If the owner sells their home, the sales agreement should reflect that the new owner will have to maintain the new landscaping (per the Melrose Cottage Association). 9) Status Report: Homes Under Construction. This report was reviewed. 10) Unfinished Business a) Towey – SAGIV-C, Lot 26, Attorney Letter dated 5-21-08 Re: Backyard Screening - The ASC approved the chain link fencing in the color of black or brown with a height of four feet. The fence to be placed 10 feet off the property line. Gate to be placed as close to house as possible. A landscaping plan will need to be submitted showing what type of plants will be used to screen the fencing materials. Also, the plants will need to be staggered so they do not appear in a fence-like manner. The fencing will need to be removed if the owner sells the house, or the service dog is no longer needed. As long as the owner maintains the fence area it should not have any affect as it relates to adverse possession. b) Whidbey Island Bank - SAGII, Lot 42 – 8845 Bald Eagle Drive, Completion of punch list items June 4, 2008. This property is now in compliance. 11) Administrative Matters a) Submission Fee for Lot Improvements. Review the possibility of charging a submission fee for substantial submissions other than full new construction submissions. It was determined that in the future, any possible review fees will be considered on a “case by case” basis. 12) ASC Administrator’s Report - Nothing to report. 13) Adjournment – The meeting adjourned at 9:51 a.m. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, June 26, 2008 at 8:30 a.m. These minutes were approved on June 26, 2008. May 22, 2008Confirmation of Quorum: Bryan Johnson, Michael Lulu, Jon Syre, and Susan Wilson. Absent: Carol Selby. Call to Order: Debbie Smith, SRA Administrative Director and Meeting Chair called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. Staff in Attendance: Lyn Greenleaf James CAP, ASC Administrator and Minute Taker Rob Bloch, Construction/Compliance Consultant Guest Attendee: Dr. David Steward, Newly Appointed ASC Member 1) Approval of the April 24, 2008 Meeting Minutes. The minutes of the April 24 meeting were approved. 2) Review the Current Agenda. Members reviewed the agenda for this meeting. 3) Approval of the Consent Agenda. No consent agenda items were reviewed at this meeting. 4) Acceptance Review. No submissions were reviewed for acceptance at this meeting. 5) Formal Review. No submissions were formally reviewed at this meeting. 6) Construction/Compliance Consultant’s (CCC) Report. The Construction Compliance Consultant reported no new non-compliance matters. 7) Inspections. a) Eide – SAG II, Lot 54 – 8836 Osprey Road. The ASC approved the immediate removal of the cottonwood tree. This tree was previously approved for removal during the formal review for Lot 54. b) Whidbey Island Bank – SAG II, Lot 42 – 8845 Bald Eagle Drive. Pending confirmation by on-site inspection by a member of the ASC, two trees were approved for removal. 8) New Business. a) SRA – SAG Gate 3 – xxxx Semiahmoo Parkway. Landscape refurbishments in process for the St. Andrews Green Gate 3 area were approved in concept, with the understanding that a detailed plan will be filed with the ASC office. b) Caton – BR II, Lot 16 – 9050 Winged Teal Court. The request to install a pergola was approved with the understanding that lighting and additional permanent landscaping, if any, must be approved by the ASC prior to installation. Michael Lulu abstained from voting on this item. c) Parsons – SAG II, Lot 51 – 5560 Peregrine Way. The request to repaint the exterior, with the trim color remaining the same (white), was approved. d) Walters – SAG II, Lot 16 – 8785 Goshawk Road. The verbal request to change the benches around the pergola posts from stonework to Trex decking matching the body color of the house was disapproved. An alternate option was approved: replacing the stonework with wood siding built and painted to match the house, with the seating surface of the benches being Trex decking matching the body color. Possible alternative bench surface materials must be approved by the ASC prior to construction. 9) Status Report: Homes Under Construction. This report was reviewed. 10) Unfinished Business. a) Eide – SAG IV-C, Lot 28 – 8692 Great Horned Owl Lane. Claude Oliver, Bill Bradfield, and Michael Lulu, met with neighbors regarding the grouping of trees approved for removal in the front yard of Lot 28. There are two trees that will be remaining. The Lot 28 owner will be reminded to take extreme measures to ensure the health and stability of the two remaining front yard trees during tree removal, excavation, and construction. b) Declarant/Bovenkamp – GEV III – xxxx Gleneagle Drive. The following punch list items have been completed: mail boxes have been cladded to match the style of existing Gleneagle mailbox cladding; garage doors have been painted; and one “no trespassing” sign has been removed. The Construction Compliance Consultant will remove the second “no trespassing” sign. The possible repainting of some units was tabled pending the sale of a few GEV Phase III units. The ASC will continue to monitor the site for the removal of dead and dying trees, and the installation of additional (approved) landscaping near Units 11, 12, 13, and 14. 11) Administrative Matters. a) Submission Fee for Lot Improvements. The ASC continued its review of the possibility of charging a submission fee for substantial submissions other than full new construction submissions. The ASC will review a survey of past substantial construction submissions at the next meeting. b) ASC Member. The ASC welcomed Dr. David Steward as the newest ASC member. Bob Franco will join the ASC, replacing Bryan Johnson after the conclusion of his term. Carol Selby has left the ASC in favor of concentrating on her role as a member of the SRA Board of Directors. 12) ASC Administrator’s Report. 13) Adjournment. This meeting adjourned at 9:42 a.m. The next regular meeting will be held on Thursday, June 12, 2008.
May 8, 2008This meeting was cancelled.
April 24, 2008
Confirmation of Quorum: Bryan Johnson, Michael Lulu, Jon Syre, and Susan Wilson. Absent: Carol Selby.
Call to Order: Debbie Smith, SRA Administrative Director and Meeting Chair called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m.
Staff in Attendance: Lyn Greenleaf James CAP, ASC Administrator and Minute Taker Rob Bloch, Construction/Compliance Consultant
Guest Attendees: Dr. David Steward, ASC Candidate Bob Franco, ASC Candidate Claude Oliver, SRA President
1) Approval of the April 10, 2008 Meeting Minutes. The minutes of the April 10 meeting were approved.
2) Review the Current Agenda. Members reviewed the agenda for this meeting.
3) Approval of the Consent Agenda. No consent agenda items were reviewed at this meeting.
4) Acceptance Review. No submissions were reviewed for acceptance at this meeting.
5) Formal Review. No submissions were formally reviewed at this meeting.
6) Construction/Compliance Consultant’s (CCC) Report. The Construction Compliance Consultant reported no new non-compliance matters.
7) Inspections. The inspection was scheduled for Tuesday, April 29 at 10:00 a.m. a) Mackman – SH Lot 9 – 5456 Tananger Lane. Tree (Removal) Inspection.
8) New Business. a) Lulu – SAG I, Lot 15 – 8981 Snowy Owl Lane. The request to install a flagstone path was approved. b) Ferron – BR II, Lot 15 – 9061 Winged Teal Court. The request to repaint the pillars to match one of the exterior colors was approved. The owners must specify which exterior color they intend to paint the columns. c) SRA – DH II, Tract C – xxxx Drayton Harbor Road. The ASC reviewed a report on a request to the SRA to remove brush alders from the area of Drayton Hillside I, Tract D and Drayton Hillside II, Tract C. These alders do not constitute ‘trees’ as defined by the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (i.e. they are less than 6” dbh; six inches in diameter at a height of 48 inches). Since an owner does not usually need the approval of the ASC to remove alder brush the ASC has forwarded this matter back to the Board. i) Past Brush Alder Removal in this Area. Several years ago brush alders were removed in this area as a proactive measure to help prevent the spread of tent caterpillars. Tent caterpillars do not continue to pose the same level of threat in this area. In 2007 nearby brush alders were disturbed and therefore removed during the removal of eight diseased and hazardous trees. The brush on the lower part of the slope in this area, nearest to Goldfinch Way, was undisturbed. ii) SRA Precedent – Brush Removal. The Board has disapproved other requests to remove brush alders along Drayton Harbor Road near DC Lot 10 and along Semiahmoo Parkway near DC Lots 24 and 25. The brush serves a valuable purpose in providing a visual and sound buffer along Semiahmoo Parkway and Drayton Harbor Road, as required in the Semiahmoo Master Plan (pages 6.1, 6.9) – safeguarding “subtle transitions from [the] woodland edge to … roadways.” iii) Additional Notes. The presence or absence of alder brush in this area does not significantly impact the Carnoustie neighborhood or the view from this area. If the alder brush is removed it is not likely to cause erosion since the root systems would remain in place to support the bank. iv) ASC Recommendation. The alder brush in question provides a noise and a visual buffer to Drayton Hillside I and adds to the woodland nature of Semiahmoo. It may be appropriate for the Board to take into consideration the comments of Goldfinch Way owners in making its decision about the removal of the brush alders. The ASC appreciates the Board’s interest in having the ASC review this matter. The ASC recommends that the alder brush be retained. The ASC further recommends that in order to remove the brush, the uphill neighbor must also, at his sole expense, cut, chip and/or remove the brush, and replant the area with trees and plants that continue to provide visual and sound buffering while allowing for a greater view.
9) Status Report: Homes Under Construction. This report was reviewed.
10) Unfinished Business. a) Declarant/Bovenkamp – GEV III – xxxx Gleneagle Drive. The ASC reviewed the incomplete punch list items and outstanding issues: additional landscaping at southern end, painting garage doors, dead and dying trees, mail box cladding, utility screening, and repainting some units. The non-compliant signs will be removed as soon as possible. The Declarant will continue to work with Mr. Bovenkamp to complete the punch list as soon as possible, especially the removal of dead trees and the planting of the approved additional landscaping near the southernmost units facing the golf course. This matter will be reviewed again in early June. b) Towey – SAG IV-C, Lot 26 – 8693 Great Horned Owl Lane. The ASC reviewed the status of correspondence with the owner regarding the proposal to build an enclosure for their service animal.
11) Administrative Matters. a) Update Signage at the Neighborhood Entrances. The ASC reviewed an SRA Board of Directors memo regarding signage and landscaping updates at neighborhood entrances. SRA President Claude Oliver provided a brief overview. For a summary of this overview and the ASC’s comments refer to Appendix I. b) Submission Fee for Lot Improvements. The ASC reviewed the possibility of charging a submission fee for substantial submissions other than full new construction submissions. The ASC may consider a submission fee for those types of larger or more detailed submissions that require additional staff time for review and oversight. The ASC considered using a valuation of the renovation costs to establish the submission fee, perhaps with a graduated scale. This matter will be reviewed at the next meeting in conjunction with a review of City of Blaine permit requirements, including whether or not there are different classifications of permits.
12) ASC Administrator’s Report. a) Herman – SAG IV-A, Lot 71 – 5394 Quail Run. The request for landscaping changes was approved.
13) Adjournment. This meeting adjourned at 9:42 a.m. The next regular meeting will be held on Thursday, May 8, 2008.
Appendix 1 Neighborhood Sign, Gate, and Entrance Areas in the Uplands Updating the Design Concept
The ASC reviewed an SRA Board of Directors memo regarding signage and landscaping updates at neighborhood entrances. SRA President Claude Oliver provided a brief overview. The Board feels that the signs are beginning to show the affects of aging. The 25-year old design is dated. The Board would like to improve the appearance of signage in the uplands and is considering the possibility of replacing neighborhood signs with ones of a new design, made of new, long-lasting (50-year) materials. The Board would like to have the ASC contribute to the discussion of a new design concept for the entrance areas in the uplands. Currently the SRA has not budgeted for the replacement of upland signs. In the future after more information and preliminary cost estimates are available it will be possible to make a proposal to Semiahmoo owners. It may be possible to have a preliminary discussion at the 2008 SRA Annual Meeting.
Spit Signage. The Declarant is considering an update to the signage and gate entrance design concept for the developments on Semiahmoo Spit. The design features and topography of the spit do not blend well with the woodland nature of the current Semiahmoo Resort Association sign design standards. The ASC will be asked to review a different design concept for all spit signage. If a new design is established existing signs like the Beachwalker Villas neighborhood signs, and park, traffic, and hotel signs would also be replaced.
Spit Signage vs. Upland Signage. Because the design elements on the spit and in the uplands are different in would not be appropriate to have, for example, a stacked stone type of monument sign similar to the one proposed for Marin. It may or may not be appropriate to have completely different designs for both the spit and the uplands. It may be possible to have two partially different designs with a few overlapping design elements. Individual neighborhoods do not have the option to create a signage design based on the design elements of the neighborhood. All signs must comply with the signage standards defined in the Semiahmoo Master Plan.1 Until new design standards are established new neighborhood signs must conform to the existing standards.
More than Neighborhood Signs. The design concept is utilized for more than just neighborhood signs and gates. The concept includes street sign posts, bollards, the Semiahmoo Resort Community main entrance sign, hotel sign, park signs, trail signs, and community signs in the country and on the freeway. If only neighborhood signs are redesigned the incongruity of the newly designed signs with all the rest of the existing signs, gates, and bollards may have a greater negative impact than the negative impact of aging, dates signs.
Declarant to Pay for Preliminary Design Concept. The Declarant volunteered to send this out to an architectural designer, with the requirements to develop a preliminary new design concept that balances economics, spit and upland design elements, the current design, and the phased implementation of new sign installations. SRA President Claude Oliver, on behalf of the SRA, thanked Jon Syre, Declarant, for his proactive generosity in providing the SRA with this preliminary analysis.2
Entrance Area Landscaping. The landscaping around some gates and neighborhood signs are looking tired. The SRA Board is overseeing upgrades, including the removal and replacement of older overgrown plants (especially heathers). These upgrades will be modest, considering that a possible complete redesign of the entrances in the next few years may necessitate complete replanting of the areas. The Garden Committee is collaborating with the Board and SRA maintenance staff on the renovations. The St. Andrews Green Gate 3 area will be the first to be renovated. Easy maintenance and drought tolerance are being considered in the choice of new plants. If a gate entrance area is not in need of upgrades it will not automatically be renovated.
1The Semiahmoo Master (Development) Plan represents the City of Blaine zoning within the Semiahmoo Resort Community. 2Jon Syre, Trillium President and C.E.O., as Declarant financially contributes to the Semiahmoo Resort Community in ways not commonly known by owners. After he relinquishes Declarant controls the SRA will be responsible for the full costs of expenses like this study.
April 10, 2008
Confirmation of Quorum: Michael Lulu, Jon Syre, and Susan Wilson. Absent: Bryan Johnson, and Carol Selby.
Call to Order: Michael Lulu, Vice Chair, called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m.
Staff in Attendance: Lyn Greenleaf James CAP, ASC Administrator and Minute Taker Rob Bloch, Construction/Compliance Consultant Debbie Smith, SRA Administrative Director and Meeting Chair (Absent)
Guest Attendees: Claude Oliver, SRA President John and Laurie Towey 10(a): 9:40 a.m. – 10:11 a.m.
1) Approval of the March 27, 2008 Meeting Minutes. The minutes of the March 27 meeting were approved with three clarifications in the wording of Appendix II.
2) Review the Current Agenda. Members reviewed the agenda for this meeting.
3) Approval of the Consent Agenda. No consent agenda items were reviewed at this meeting.
4) Acceptance Review. No submissions were reviewed for acceptance at this meeting.
5) Formal Review. No submissions were formally reviewed at this meeting.
6) Construction/Compliance Consultant’s (CCC) Report. The Construction Compliance Consultant reported no new non-compliance matters.
7) Inspections. No inspections were scheduled at this meeting.
8) New Business. a) Henrikson – SAG II, Lot 27 – 8796 Osprey Road. The landscape plan, with a driveway reconfiguration, was approved. b) Marshall – SAG II, Lot 12 – 8784 Goshawk Road. In conjunction with the review of an arborist’s report, the ASC approved the tree removal and transplantation request with the following comment. The health of the transplanted Norway maples must be guaranteed for 18 months; if they appear to be dead or dying during that time they must be replaced in kind. c) Quinnell – RT Lot 15 – 8602 Great Horned Owl Lane. The request for landscape lighting was approved with the following comments: i) The finished height of path lights must be 12 inches or less. ii) All lights must be installed with a switch and a timer, or a photo cell, or some other means to insure that the lights are on only when needed.
9) Status Report: Homes Under Construction. This report was reviewed.
At 8:45 a.m. the ASC adjourned from the regular meeting into executive session to review item 10(a) and gain a better understanding of “reasonable accommodation.” At 8:57 a.m. the ASC adjourned out of executive session and reconvened the regular meeting.
10) Unfinished Business. a) Towey – SAG IV-C, Lot 26 – 8693 Great Horned Owl Lane. The ASC met with the owners regarding their request to install an enclosure for their (ADA) service animal. The goals for the enclosure, and enclosure options which represent reasonable accommodation, were discussed. The owners would like to have an enclosure that allows their service animal protection from predators, allows them enjoyment of their property, and allows free movement of the animal on their property. The owners feel that other types of enclosures do not offer the protection of chain-link fencing. A kennel or dog run will not allow them to enjoy their property with their animal. Their service animal is too sensitive to use an invisible fence. At the March 27 meeting chain-link fencing located on the property lines was disapproved. At this meeting the ASC reconfirmed its disapproval of fencing located on the property lines. The owners will be asked to propose a size and location for an enclosure. The ASC will research whether or not it is proper to ask for proof of the service animal’s certification or training, and details of the nature of the disability. The ASC may notify neighbors of the proposed landscape changes. i) Location and Screening. The ASC anticipates the enclosure would be located in the rear yard and not wider than the width of the home. Depending on the type of enclosure, it will need to be screened from the view of the park and adjacent properties. If chain-link fencing is proposed the ASC anticipates it would be green or black and well-screened with evergreen shrubs at least as tall as the fencing at planting. ii) Conditional Use. The ASC anticipates, once approved, the enclosure would be removed if and when: the owners no longer have a service animal or don’t need one, the owners no longer use the property as their primary residence, or the owners no longer own the property. b) SW Group – Marin – xxxx Semiahmoo Parkway. The draft Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions were approved with the following comments. Examples of text revisions are listed. i) Section 4.1. It is appropriate for the Description of the Land to describe Marin as being part of the Semiahmoo Resort Community: “The project shall be incorporated in the Semiahmoo Resort Community.” ii) Section 9.2. It is appropriate for the SRA to have a perpetual easement on through and over Marin Common Areas: “The project is subject to those easements of record for maintenance of utilities and other matters as shown on the Survey map and Plans and in the Semiahmoo Resort CC&Rs, and the Semiahmoo Resort Community is hereby granted a perpetual easement on, through, over and across the Common Areas and Facilities …” iii) Section 10.07. It is necessary for the description of leases and rentals to be in compliance with the SRA Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions Section 10.10. iv) Section 10.10. Based on Section 207 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 the Federal Communications Commission prohibits restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance, or use of antennas use to receive programming. The ASC recommends removing language restricting the use of satellite dishes. v) Section 11.6, 15.1, and 25.10. It is appropriate for the priority of the Marin Declaration to be described as follows: “The terms of this Declaration are intended to be consistent with and in addition to the Semiahmoo Resort CC&Rs; they shall apply in the following priority (except for matters required by the Act[1], in which case this Declaration shall control over the Semiahmoo Resort CC&Rs): 1) The Act; 2) The Semiahmoo Resort CC&Rs; 3) This Declaration.” vi) Section 14.1. It is appropriate for the Marin covenants to reference SRA dues: “In addition to the assessments described herein, Owners shall be responsible for payment of additional assessments levied on behalf of the Semiahmoo Resort Community. The amount and timing of such additional assessments shall be established as provided in the Semiahmoo Resort CC&Rs.” vii) Section 25.1. The ASC recommends that this section be revised, if needed, to include the provisions in the following sample paragraph: “The provisions of this Declaration shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purposes of creating a uniform plan for the development and operation of this condominium as an integral part of the Semiahmoo Resort Community under the provisions of the Semiahmoo resort CC&Rs, the Act and other relevant Washington statutes. It is also intended that, insofar as it affects this Declaration and the Project, the provisions of the Semiahmoo Resort CC&Rs and the Act referenced herein under which this Declaration is operative, shall be liberally construed to effect the intent of this Declaration insofar as reasonably possible.” c) Canyon Holdings – Inverness – xxxx Semiahmoo Parkway. Request for approval of draft Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. The draft Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions were approved with the following comments. i) Section 3.1. It is appropriate for the SRA to be entitled to an easement. ii) Section 4.12.1. The appropriate Tract has not been referenced. iii) Section 6.2. It appears that the reference to Section 6.2 should instead by Section 6.3. iv) Section 6.4. It is appropriate for the covenants to reference the height limit for the multifamily site, in addition to referencing the height of single family lots. The ASC noted the single family height limit of 35 feet. d) Declarant/Bovenkamp – GEV III – xxxx Gleneagle Drive. The ASC anticipates reviewing a report which includes completion timelines for remaining punch list work at the next meeting: additional landscaping at southern end, painting garage doors, dead and dying trees, mail box cladding, utility screening, and repainting some units. e) Cohenour – BR II, Lot 5 – 9035 Shearwater Road. The ASC discussed its results of the March 27 concept design review. The ASC clarified that it does not determine whether or not handrails will be installed on retaining walls, only that it prefers the design, construction, and final grading to be done in such a way to eliminate the need for them if possible. The proposal for clearing and replanting in the Shoreline Management Area was neither approved nor disapproved. The ASC will not be reviewing the plan for this area on behalf of the City of Blaine. The ASC welcomes the opportunity to meet with the owners on site to discuss tree removal and landscaping. And, the ASC does not expect the architect, landscape architect, and arborist to necessarily attend this meeting. The concept of the lawn area was approved, however all trees in this area were not automatically approved for removal. The ASC acknowledged that it does not anticipate that this area contains any trees significant enough to justify revising the lawn concept in order to retain the trees.
11) Administrative Matters. a) Submission Fee. Consideration of possibly charging fees for submissions other than full new construction submissions was tabled for review at the next meeting.
12) ASC Administrator’s Report. The ASC Administrator had no additional business to report.
13) Adjournment. This meeting adjourned at 10:32 a.m. The next regular meeting will be held on Thursday, April 24, 2008. 1Horizontal Property Regime Act (RCW 64.32), Condominium Act (64.34), or other applicable laws in the Revised Code of Washington.
