January Activities Announcements Mark
your Calendars The
Rummage Sale is coming! As many of you know, the monies we make from the rummage sale go right back into the community. Over the years we have paid for the tennis courts to be resurfaced, new playground equipment, paving of the parking lot in front of the clubhouse, landscaping projects around the community, a microphone system, Innis Arden social events, and the list goes on. We need your contributions! If you would like to help with this project or if you need further information, please call Sherri Robbins 546-8366. Our
next collection dates are: Come by between 10 AM to noon, at the northwest side of the Clubhouse. We also accept rummage during the week of set up (February 29-March 5). Also, please note that we are unable to give you a donation receipt because of the Activities Committee tax status is 501-C3 Not for Profit--Not tax exempt 501-C3. Next

Arden Club, Inc. The meeting
was called to order at 7:05 p.m. Action: December's meeting minutes were approved unanimously. Committee Reports Treasurer: Howard reported that for the year 2003, we overspent by $15,000, and income was $5,200 more than anticipated. There are 6 shareholders owing for 2002, and 11 owing for 2003, which amounts to $6,960 in dues and late fees. The contingency budget line is not specifically itemized. Rather it is a budget line for those expenses that may arise due to unforeseen situations. The 2002 audit has been restated because the auditor missed a $17,862 bill for the tree survey, and actual dues income was changed. The audit report is on the web site. President/Vice President - no report Secretary - no report Building
and Remodels Hill-17104
13th NW: 120 square foot shed 10 feet from side and rear property lines.
Lamb made a motion to approve of the shed as drawn, except the height
will be reduced from 12 to 10 feet high. Jacobs noted that Section 3
(building limits) refers to 'fences and similar structures' as not being
subject to setback requirements, and perhaps 'similar structure' could
be a shed. One neighbor objected because the shed was obscuring his
water view. Gillett:
1505 NW 167th --Small addition to rear deck and enclosing carport. Some
neighbors questioned over height trees on Gillett's property, but according
to the View Preservation Amendment, these trees are exempt. Gerbino:
17740 13th NW-- Partial second floor addition on southern end of house;
kitchen remodel; cosmetic upgrade to front porch. Neighbors have complained
about the view impact of the addition from the rear of their property
where a patio is going to be constructed. This patio will be built on
fill behind a 7 foot retaining wall. Taber:
18565 Springdale Ct NW-- Their building and remodel permit has expired
and an extension has been requested. Welsh:1450 NW 188th-- submitted a partial application for a shed, deck and sports court. Activities Thank you to Chris Kocher for serving as chair of the Activities Committee for the past year. Chris was presented with a $50 gift certificate to Jock and Jill Running store. Rummage collection will be this Saturday 1/17--10 to noon, 2/7--10 to noon and 2/23--10 to noon. The Rummage sale will be March 6 and 7 with move in Feb 28/29. New Comers Wine and Cheese Party will be Friday January 23, 6 to 8. Activities voted to 1) spend $6,600 to repair the track, cut roots and fix the low spot in the parking lot 2) to try some new lights in the clubhouse 3) to finish the water system in the circle and 4) convert it to the irrigation system meter for lower water rate. Grounds:
If the poplar tree is not removed from the playground, roots will continue
to destroy the path after it has been repaired. However, there is no
money in the budget right now to remove it. The chain in back of the
swim club needs to be removed because it is dangerous and people trip
over it. Taber will try to get a key, perhaps from the Eadie's, and
remove the chain. The area around the chain needs to be re-striped in
yellow. Clubhouse: Sledziewski will be making changes in the rental policy and rates. She has some gift certificates to lifeline (Ewa could you please provide more description here?). It appeared that the motion sensor was not working, but then it was discovered that several times, the bulb had been stolen. Reserves:
There was a reserves committee meeting on 12/29. Trail restoration in
Blue Heron and drainage restoration in Boeing Creek Reserve was discussed.
Funding for these projects is part of a budget yet to be approved. The
committee will look into creating a more accessible trail (less steep)
from Innis Arden Drive into Running Water Reserve. Volunteer labor will
be used to remove invasive plants. A half dozen view restoration requests
were made. It was moved to follow up on these requests using the reserves
policy. Smith reported on sloughing on the trail of Blue Heron Reserve,
close to the street. It interrupts the trail. Fosmire will follow up
on this. Hazardous tree cutting is close to completion. Marc Weinberg
observed that even after the city dumped a lot of rock designed to prevent
erosion, the ground was continuing to slide as a result of all the storm
water being directed into our reserves. Annual Meeting:
There were none Action: A motion to adjourn at 9:35 was passed unanimously. ===>Raves<===Thank you to the person who found and took my cell phone to the ATT store at Northgate .
