1. Board met to review relevant documentation to covenants and past violations and actions.

   • Lien placed on property for not following covenants
   • Too many trailers and boats
   • Numerous livestock and out of control animals
   • Storage of rec vehicles and unlicensed vehicles

   • Property line fence
   • Garage storage center

   All issues have been addressed pursuant to communication with the board regarding the issue.
   
   Relevant to Armadillo Trail business issue:
     Covenants states need to have business materials in permited storage.
     Options:
       High fence put close to property
       Building that houses equipment - barn, morton shed
     He has to work with county on acceptable building - permit, approved by county
   Complaints from neighbors of impact on property values
   Property is against county regs
   Board has enforced fine of $500 for noncompliance in the past (one instance)
   
   We can propose that he come up with a proposal subject to certain guidelines
   
   Possible strategy - board allows open forum for concerned citizens to speak



4. Grey Fox property has been cleaned up per the boards request. Some outstanding issues. Sending thanks.
5. Need policy in place on handling covenants - policy and procedure to violations
6. Armadillo Trail resident attended board meeting - to lay out options
• Views of commercial vehicles are source of complaints
• Proposing fence and gate covering driveway with 6-8 foot stockade fence
• Process explained re submitting plans to Architectural Review Board and review
• It was relayed that residents had mentioned going to the county to file a complaint and the resident does not want to get the county involved. The board expressed its preference to resolve the issue to the mutual satisfaction.
• Expectations of fence - have for privacy, but fence is not for privacy in this case. Also property is not zoned for commercial, its’ zoned residential
• Proposal to have behind house - grading problems and setback issues
• No place to put vehicle closer to house to build fence, since fence is for privacy purposes only.
• Will lay out proposal to be reviewed by board and ARB as a next step - to be emailed to Craig.
• Deadline of July 12 for plans from resident
7. Covenants policy to be published in newsletter.
