Minutes for June 2004
Andover Glen Homeowner’s Association Meeting Minutes
June 15, 2004

Submitted by Randy Simpson, Secretary, Andover Glen Homeowner’s Association

1. Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at the Parker Road entryway at 7 p.m. by President Barbara Harrington and then moved to the home of Curt Krall.

Board Members Present: Jan Guerra, Ron Adams, Randy Simpson (arrived late), Barbara Harrington, Dave Kline, Curt Krall

Others Present: Quink Arlt

2. General Business:

Discussion of issues related to rebuild of monument: Barbara gave the board an overview of the issues and options related to the rebuild of the monument. A significant issue is the fact the location of the old monument was in CDOT right of way, and even moving the monument in a few feet may not clear the right of way. Monument may have to be turned and formed more into a V-shape arrangement to get it out of the right of way, and moved quite a ways back from its current location. This will require getting a new bid from the contractor as it will be a different design and require more work, such as an entirely new foundation.

Annual meeting set for September 20th, 2004 – The annual meeting of the Association was set for Tuesday, September 20th at 7 p.m. at Sagebrush Elementary School.

Annual Summer Picnic set for 12th, 2004

2. Board Reports:

Reported that the rental property at 14184 Layton Dr. had numerous code violations such as the lawn, garage doors broken, oil in driveway, etc. and she was going to see if the City follows up on these violations.
Reported that we don’t have any new neighbors this month and only one house for sale.

TGI Friday’s construction seems to be moving along and the Board received a notice that Friday’s has applied to have extended hours of operation until 2 a.m. in order to serve people who want a late night bite to eat after a movie, play, sporting event, etc. The Board replied that we are not opposed to the extension of operation hours.
