President Steve Shirley opened the meeting by introducing Attorney Abby St. Lawrence, who provided an update on work that had been done so far by a small group discussing the overhaul of the TSA covenants. She noted that TSA has no comprehensive set of covenants, but a series of covenants that cover different zones within the subdivision. She said that, to change the covenants, some will require the votes of 80 percent of the homeowners while other need just 50 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. Lawrence said one of the reasons for rewriting the covenants is to harmonize differences between the covenants that cover different parts of the subdivision. Some residents also have expressed concern that the current covenants aren\u2019t adequate to address problems such as rentals, parking on streets of RVs and other vehicles, and other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. Lawrence said that TSA resident Ken Varns produced a report that took a look at how the subdivision\u2019s covenants compare to the county\u2019s zoning rules \u2013 a valuable starting point for doing a rewrite of TSA covenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After some discussion, those at the meeting authorized St. Lawrence to draft a set of comprehensive draft covenants to be presented to the homeowners\u2019 association in the fall. She estimated the cost of the project at around $1,000. Some discussion was done on how we will get homeowners votes on the new covenants, with the hope that most of the work will be done by mail, but may require door to door canvassing. Treasurer Terry Atwood will work with the water and sewer treasurer to make certain we have valid addresses for all homeowners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those at the meeting then discussed a letter sent earlier this year by the developers of the 46 Degrees North subdivision to the county asking for a change in the way the funding for impacts on TSA roads is handled. St. Lawrence said it appears the developers want to modify the payment schedule so they can use lot sales to pay for road impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(After the meeting, Lindsay Morgan of the county planning staff confirmed St. Lawrence\u2019s reading of the letter. She said the developer is asking that he not be required to make the payment for impacts to roads such as Beaverhead up front, but to delay payment. The money will always be there via a line of credit when it is need to repair TSA roads, she said.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steve Garrison gave a short presentation on the county\u2019s new flood mitigation plan. He noted that TSA sits just north of the flood mitigation zone, which covers a 100 year flood zone. That means homeowners here won\u2019t be hit with a special fee the county plans to charge. He said most home insurance policies don\u2019t have flood insurance but some do. It is up to homeowners to decide if they want to add coverage for floods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shirley said TSA got finance numbers too late to come up with a plan this summer for reconstruction of its faulty French drains and streets. The county says the TSA RID fund currently has about $122,000 in it, which does not include the May receipts of around $40,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shirley said he\u2019s been talking with Jess Whitford of the county road department about reconstructing short sections of TSA roads with money available in the RID fund. The most pressing need is to rebuild Otter from Bobcat to Wolverine, as it was badly beat up over the winter. Parts of Kodiak, Cayuse and Appaloosa also were ID\u2019d in a previous engineering report as high priorities for repair. Whitford told Shirley it would cost $50,000 to $60,000 to fix that section of Otter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steve Garrison wondered if that cost would include a subgrade fix of Otter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(After the meeting, Whitford told Shirley that the $60,000 figure includes subgrade work. Whitford also said that he doesn\u2019t recommend doing more than $80,000 in repairs this summer because rules would then require that TSA would have to pay a lot more for engineering fees, etc. Shirley asked him to do as much as he could while keeping the cost under $80,000.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marilyn Clark briefly discussed a web site sponsored by nextdoor.com that includes a discussion board that covers TSA, and said she finds it contains useful information on the subdivision. Those at the meeting also heard a brief discussion on potential improvements in the park and that some of the repairs have not been done to swings because of the need for a special tool that is several hundred dollars to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
