Stannard Beach Assn BOD mtg May 26, 2013


Stannard Beach Association Board meeting May 26, 2013 Re Lyman-Brown right of way
Do we add sod? It was not in the original proposal. Cost estimate is about $1500.
Proposal: An expense not to exceed $2000 should be allocated to replace the disturbed sod. Who shall pay for it? Existing proposal is $8150 and does not include sod.
David Caslin - destroyed sod should be replaced, and Sandy Seidman agreed, but both stated it is a private expense.
Lou Brown’s son, Michael, spoke for Lou, stating that Lou will give $8000 towards the fixing of the problem but he is not accepting full responsibility for causing the problem.
What if the proposal does not work? Who pays if it doesn’t fix the problem?
If we do not sod now there will be no lawn there this summer, and it is a busy right-of-way. It will be a muddy mess as there is no time for grass to grow there. Ron Webber asked Michael Brown to ask his Dad to increase his dollar amount by $2000 to cover the sod, so there is no more problem, since there is no time for a lawn to grow. Michael requested a cost and the folks working at the Seidman property say about $1500 to sod the right-of-way.
The BOD suggests capping the cost to Lou.
Stannard Beach Assn BOD feels it would set an inappropriate precedent for the Assn to pay for others’ construction damage to the area. What is required of one party/person doing construction should be required of everyone doing construction. Requires a by-laws change.
Motion made: Lou Brown agreed to pay 1/2 of the cost of the sod up to a maximum of $1,000.
All voted in favor. Maximun of $1000 from Lou Brown and the remainder from the Association. Meeting adjourned 9:30 a.m.
