The Lot Committee meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 9:00 am at the Clubhouse. The Committee has had a stable full membership with the exceptions being the Chair. Board Representative Don Moore has been acting Chair since February 2009.
The Lot Committee has the responsibility for at least 12 different areas within Shelter Bay. These duties are accomplished through the use of resident volunteers. Some of, but not all the areas the Lot Committee is responsible for include:
- View restoration and view creation.
- Tree planting and landscaping
- Nuisances and pet
- Off-street parking of vehicles, boats, and trailers.
- Monitoring of the Storage Lot for compliance to the lot Rules and Regulations.
- Exterior lighting
- Drainage
- Disposal of wood.
At present the Committee consists of Jim Greer, Gary Johnson, Ken Lee, Pam Malmberg, Jack Withrow as regular members. Cheryl Westlake, Cherry Haas and Sandy Nason as alternate members. Hermann Wolz and Don Moore and as Board Representatives and Don Moore as Acting Chair. Additional volunteers are always welcome and can participate on the Committee as an "alternate" until a permanent position opens up.
Some of the pending issues the Committee is working on are the expansion of the electrical hookups in the RV Storage Lot and the proposed amendment to the Protective Covenants concerning "native" trees.
The Committee proposed and participated in a very productive work session with the Board of Directors, Greenbelt and Rules Committees to discuss the proposed amendment to Rules and Regulations, Part I, Section XIV, Trees, Landscaping and Views.
The Committee recommended to the Board a policy for the disposal of wood remaining from the removal of a tree(s) from a lot or greenbelt.
The Committee recommended a policy for publishing in the monthly newsletter, the fines levied by the Rules Committee as recommended by the Lot, Building and Greenbelt Committees.
The Lot Committee coordinates and works closely with the Greenbelt Committee. A large part of the committees work concerns the permitting involved in the removal of trimming of trees on a members lot or on another members lot for the purpose of view restoration. Much of this time is spent with the various neighbors in trying to reach a conclusion that satisfies all parties. Not an easy task and often a thankless one for the volunteers.
