CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order by President Brian Neth at 2:18pm in at the Perry Walther Building in Bear Valley, California.
* Guest Report Five BV homeowners came to the meeting to address the very large house currently in development on Snow Shoe (8,000 square feet Akema home). Gary Willard, representing the ARC, reported we use CC&Rs and design review standards to control development. Ultimately Alpine County also must approve new homes. Neither CC&Rs nor the design standards say anything about maximum house size. Any change in the CC&Rs requires a 75 - 80% approval of the membership -- which historically has been very difficult to achieve. The board can address the size of a house in the Design Standards and include a FAR (floor area ratio) in the standards. Action: The ARC will come up with a way to survey the membership about changing the maximum size limitation in the Design Standards. If there's a favorable response, the board will consider altering the design standards.
MOTION: Bill Webb moved we ask the ARC to come back to the board with a proposal about changing the design standards to indicate a maximum structure size. SECOND: Gordon Ritter seconded the motion. All members in favor. None opposed. Gary to take the lead on developing this proposal with Ron Murphy and the rest of the ARC.
