New Business
Walt – Complaint from 15 concerning sailboats moored on outside of homes blocking view and noise from halyards.
Walt quoted CCR 5.2.7 “No structure other than a deck or swim float will extend beyond sixty-five (65) feet from the face of the dock.”
A boat is not a structure.
CW - the CCRs don’t address it and we don’t want to get into disallowing boats to be parked on the outside of homes.
It was suggested that the individual should go talk to their neighbor about the noisy halyards.
Lorraine - Loud children on a week night. Asked that the board address it. Walt will write something for the BB.
Charlie – some lights are out in parking area – CW had already taken care of them.
Charlie – suggested we look into purchasing radar “Your Speed Is” sign. Walt – cost of >$5000 would make it unrealistic.
