Proposed ATV policy

One of the main issues discussed at the last Board meeting was the policy on ATV usage within HCR. The consensus of those attending the meeting was that primary concerns are with safety and noise issues. The Board has drafted a proposed clarification of the prohibition on ATV use which is in our CCR's. The proposed language has been posted on the website. The main points covered are: (1) An ATV is defined as "an unlicensed three or four wheeled all terrain vehicle, intended for off road use, which is ridden straddled and is steered by a handlebar." Per existing CCR's, no ATV may be ridden on HCR roads or common property under any circumstance. (2) Other vehicles, such as UTV's (e.g. Polaris Ranger, Yamaha Mule or similar)or golf carts, may be utilized, but are subject to restrictions as enumerated in the proposed policy.

The Board will consider comments on this proposed policy, either in writing or at our next general Board meeting on September 15th. The policy will then be finalized.

Propane tank enclosures

Some of you may have recently received a notice from the Architectural Committee regarding your existing propane tank enclosure. Our rules require that tanks be fully shielded from neighboring lots and streets. If your enclosure does not comply, you will need to complete the enclosure to meet this standard. If you have any questions, please contact Rod Aschbrenner.

Some of you have indicated to me that you are not able to open the documents posted on the website -- the problem is spotty, and I am still trying to track down the source of the problem. I am using a different file naming convention now, which may (or may not...) solve the problem. Please email me (at rmd-external@mindspring.com )if you are unable to open the documents, and in your email let me know what operating system you use (e.g. Windows XP, Windows Vista, MacOS, etc.) and what browser program you use. All the posted files are in a "pdf" format, so you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer to open them (this program is available as a free download). Thanks for your help (and your patience).
