Minutes of Regular Council Meeting Monday, January 30, 1984 Page Three Council was referred to draft of proposed Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions on the proposed Lamettl Addition, which were drawn by Hoganson for Council's review. In discussion, the following concerns were expressed re Article No. V (p.4), Restrictions on Common Area: . Mulcahy: A. Docks - would prefer that the 2 45' long docks not have a "T" ending; asked consideration of this I ImItatIon. B. Boat LaunchlnQ - not In favor of a boat launch facility; feels there Is an adequate public boat launch area at the north end of the lake; noted that a launch area can cause difficultIes the association may wish to avoid; suggested the gentle slope of the beach area, even If no permanent launch exists, would permit reasonable boat launching for the residents. C. FenclnQ - noted that wooden fence Is proposed; noted that a 3t' height fence would be permitted along the street property lIne and 6' heIght beyond the 40' front set- back lIne (fence to be 30% open). Section XI D. Amendments (p.12) expressed concern that the DeclaratIon may be amended by 2/3 of the membershIp of the assocIation; could amend or terminate the declaratIons whIch are of most concern to the Councl I; asked Hoganson's experIence; suggested Inserting a time period before amendments can be made, or Identifying certaIn areas which are not amendable; suggested that If changes are to be made, why spend time on covenants. Hogansen said he used 2/3 rather than a simple maJority; noted that this would be 9 out of the 14 property owners; explained that It Is difficult to foresee future thinking of potential property owners. Christiansen and Rauenhorst concurred that 2/3 seems too lenient. Rauenhorst suggested future changes require a 90% vote, as opposed to 2/3; suggested that the common area covenants not be amendable, unless approved by the Council; suggested Article V be a separate declaration. Mulcahy referred to J. (p.9) Notice of Certain ChanQes; suggested the addItIon of Clt:i-o...L.f.rden--'iLlli - "Each FIrst Mortgagee, and the City of Arden Hills, shal I be entitled to a 30 day notice ___"; suggested this be added In approprIate areas of the declarations. Rauenhorst asked If a concensus has been reached on a boat launch. . Rohrer asked If the appearance of a blacktop pad Is offens.ve, or the launching of boats; explained that they propose to put the launch at the north of the common area - It can be of grass, sand or blacktop and be screened wIth bushes; noted that they will prohIbIt any parking of vehicles and boats on the common area, but want to be able to put boats Into the lake; noted that the aesthetics afforded by the lake are an Important part of the amenities these .lots will otter. Mulcahy said he thinks the first thing requested will be some kind of restrIction to unauthorized boat launch use.
