{tab=Arch Control}
Architectural Control: Chairman Frank Chuba presented a synopsis of covenants and building permits on the Ranch. He stated that there are few vacant lots left, so there will be little income from new building permits and the Association will rely on income from maintaining property. He stated that restoration of a residence does not require approval, but alteration to the exterior does. That can be accomplished by using forms available on the web site and submitting to the board.
Resident Frank Vidakovics of 18210 Forest View Road submitted a request to extend a deck and extend the roof. Plans were presented plus a check in the amount of $25.00. Frank Chuba made a motion to accept, and it was approved unanimously following a second by Jim Zalmanek.
