Architectural Control Committee
- The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) has been reestablished within the HOA.
- Members of the ACC include Jon Owens, Dan Wesley, and Kevin Proett
- Goals of the ACC are to improve accountability on the landscaping contractor, improve timeliness of HOA responsible repairs, and reduce approval process of architectural changes for other board members.
- ACC has drafted a RFP for new landscaping contract. This is currently with the HOA board for review.
- Reviewed the areas that are required to be maintained by the HOA with HOA members in attendance.
- ACC is also working on a RFP for fence repairs. The intent is to have established rates with a contractor so fence repairs can be made quicker without requesting quotes for each repair.
- Reviewed ideas for increasing visibility at the Foxwood entrance brought up by HOA members in attendance. ACC is currently looking into solar light or reflector options.
- There’s been a request from a HOA member to install solar panels on their roof. The ACC is currently reviewing the proposal.

- Reviewed proposed revisions to the Rules and Regulation Article Three: Vehicles and Parking. Input from member in attendance was collected. The input will be incorporated into the revision and will be approved by the HOA Board in a future board meeting.
- Discussed vehicles that have been grandfathered in due to the Rules and Regulations being established after the home owner already having a commercial vehicle.
- Member brought up concern of a home owner running their business out of their home which required large trucks to deliver materials. HOA Board to review.
- Reviewed HOA Board’s authority for abandoned/broke down vehicles in driveways. HOA Board can fine the property owner but cannot tow the vehicle due to it being on private property.

Priorities for the HOA Board in 2018
