Minutes continued<br />
that Greg Stilson did a fantastic job as<br />
president stating that they are “tough<br />
shoes to fill”.<br />
Treasurer’s Report: Given by Bob<br />
Schellenberg. Bob thanked the Finance<br />
Committee for their diligent work on<br />
researching loans for the remodel project.<br />
They interviewed three banks and<br />
received three preliminary possibilities.<br />
Most require that LVHA put up about<br />
$300,000 for a $1.2 million project<br />
without collateral <strong>of</strong> property for a<br />
$900,000 loan.<br />
Tom Egan explained that after<br />
listening to Studio Green’s presentation<br />
in which the projected cost was<br />
to be about $1.8 million – higher than<br />
he anticipated and that the Committee<br />
would have to go back to the banks to<br />
see if the loan could be increased. Tom<br />
explained that LVHA would erode their<br />
financial condition and reserve fund if<br />
the loan amount were to be increased<br />
without raising dues significantly. The<br />
other possibility was to do the project<br />
in phases borrowing less.<br />
Items from <strong>Homeowners</strong>: Firebreaks.<br />
Ron Marin<strong>of</strong>f reminded all<br />
homeowners living along the perimeter<br />
<strong>of</strong> open space to cut their firebreak <strong>of</strong> at<br />
least 50 feet and preferably 100 feet. If<br />
not they will have a visit from the fire<br />
commissioner. He thanked those who<br />
have cut their firebreaks and asked that<br />
everyone work together to prevent a fire<br />
especially given the extreme wind in the<br />
valley lately.<br />
Housing Element. Meehyun Kurtzman<br />
stated that the County Planning Commission<br />
would be holding a hearing on<br />
June 24 th regarding the High Density<br />
Housing issue with a decision due July<br />
8 th . From there is would go to the <strong>Board</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> Supervisors. She reminded anyone<br />
interested in this important issue to attend<br />
the meetings.<br />
Masters Swim Group. Steve Rule presented<br />
the <strong>Board</strong> with a letter from the<br />
Masters Swim group asking to continue<br />
the Masters swim time beyond the end<br />
<strong>of</strong> the swim team season. They want<br />
to continue the early morning practice<br />
through the close <strong>of</strong> the pool in September.<br />
They would also like to add swim<br />
practice time on Tuesday and Thursday<br />
noon to 1 PM.<br />
He also presented the <strong>Board</strong> with<br />
a petition that he collected at the swim<br />
meet asking that the pool be kept open<br />
all winter so that the Masters could<br />
continue their early morning practice on<br />
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings<br />
from 5:30 – 6:30 AM.<br />
The <strong>Board</strong> advised they would take<br />
this under advisement as it was not on<br />
the agenda and they need time to consider<br />
the proposals presented as the costs<br />
<strong>of</strong> heating the pool for a small group in<br />
winter needed to be looked at.<br />
Steve asked that the <strong>Board</strong> schedule<br />
a special meeting to consider their<br />
proposal before the regularly scheduled<br />
meeting in July.<br />
Motion: Dale Miller moved to table<br />
the issue to the next meeting. It was<br />
seconded by Bob Schellenberg and<br />
unanimously approved.<br />
Committee Reports:<br />
Cable TV and Internet Committee:<br />
Given by Dale Miller. Dale reported<br />
that a draft agreement was presented to<br />
<strong>Lucas</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> Cable and were expecting<br />
a response soon. The Committee<br />
is working on setting up a meeting to<br />
discuss basic channels required to be<br />
provided to members.<br />
He explained that Comcast will<br />
<strong>of</strong>fer service to the community after installing<br />
an underground system and will<br />
have an exclusive marketing agreement<br />
with LVHA. As part <strong>of</strong> the contract<br />
LVHA will provide free advertising<br />
in the <strong>Valley</strong> Vibration for five years.<br />
Comcast will not trench on private<br />
property unless specifically requested<br />
by a homeowner.<br />
PIC Committee: Given by Dale Miller.<br />
Dale noted that the Committee is requesting<br />
removing the Linda Senf sign<br />
and corresponding plants in order to<br />
investigate designs for a new sign. The<br />
<strong>Board</strong> felt this could be accomplished<br />
without removing the sign at this time.<br />
Motion: Greg Stilson moved to accept<br />
the bid from Sonoma Marin construction<br />
to repair drainage at the upper<br />
courts in the amount <strong>of</strong> $26,060. It<br />
was seconded by Bob Schellenberg and<br />
unanimously approved.<br />
50 th Anniversary Party: Mike Tar presented<br />
a budget for the 50 th anniversary<br />
party on behalf <strong>of</strong> his wife, Pavati Zeno.<br />
He explained that she has extensive<br />
experience putting on large corporate<br />
parties and worked diligently to plan<br />
an event in keeping with a limited budget.<br />
At a prior meeting the <strong>Board</strong> approved<br />
$2500 as a preliminary figure.<br />
Pavati estimated $3500 for roughly<br />

New <strong>Valley</strong> Vibration<br />
Minutes continued<br />
125 guests as a minimum which would<br />
include purchasing food at Costco and<br />
hiring four people to help with serving<br />
and clean-up. Maggie McCann suggested<br />
she would discuss it with the<br />
committee and try to get the cost down<br />
to the original amount approved.<br />
Horseowner Committee: Given by<br />
Dale Miller. Dale explained that a<br />
revised lease was being reviewed by<br />
Dave Feingold and would be completed<br />
soon. A policy document was also being<br />
re-written and would accompany<br />
the lease.<br />
Unfinished Business: Mt. Muir Island.<br />
Bob Schellenberg explained that the<br />
plan to improve the island hit a snag<br />
when the County would not approve<br />
the plan to plant two Oak trees in the<br />
island stating that the trees could not<br />
go over 14’ in height or extend beyond<br />
the curb. As a condition <strong>of</strong> granting<br />
the permit for the work, the County <strong>of</strong><br />
Marin requires LVHA to agree in writing<br />
to pay for all maintenance to the<br />
island from now on.<br />
Other suggestions have included<br />
planting crepe myrtle trees hoping that<br />
they could survive the summer without<br />
water after the first three years. Another<br />
suggestion was to lay river rocks but the<br />
prior approval <strong>of</strong> $3500 for the project<br />
did not include cementing in the rocks<br />
which would add significantly to the<br />
cost. The landscaper explained that they<br />
would be stolen if not cemented in. Bob<br />
Schellenberg stated he would revisit the<br />
County in an attempt to clarify what<br />
they will accept.<br />
New Business: Rogers Reimbursement:<br />
John and Andrea Rogers asked the<br />
<strong>Board</strong> for reimbursement <strong>of</strong> approximately<br />
$4,000 in legal fees they incurred<br />
resulting from a dispute over a fence at<br />
the horse pasture. The <strong>Board</strong> would<br />
discuss the issue after the meeting.<br />
Appoint New Committee Members.<br />
Several committee member applications<br />
were submitted.<br />
Motion: Dale Miller moved to appoint<br />
Mark Neely to the ARC for a period <strong>of</strong><br />
two years. It was seconded by Greg<br />
Stilson and approved four to one. Greg<br />
Kamman abstained.<br />
Motion: Dale Miller moved that a<br />
thank you be sent to Maida Brankman<br />
for submitting an application to the<br />
ARC explaining that there was only<br />
one position available. It was seconded<br />
by Maggie McCann and unanimously<br />
approved.<br />
Motion: Dale Miller moved to approve<br />
Mel Jung to the Welcoming and<br />
Emergency Response Committees for<br />
a period <strong>of</strong> two years. It was seconded<br />
by Maggie McCann and unanimously<br />
approved.<br />
Motion: Greg Stilson moved to approve<br />
Betsy Glover to the Emergency<br />
Response and Welcoming Committees<br />
for a period <strong>of</strong> two years. It was seconded<br />
by Dale Miller and unanimously<br />
approved.<br />
An application was submitted by<br />
Bill Jordan to be chair <strong>of</strong> the Pool Committee.<br />
The <strong>Board</strong> did not approve this<br />
due to a conflict <strong>of</strong> interest as Bill is on<br />
the Swim Team <strong>Board</strong> and could not<br />
vote on both sides <strong>of</strong> a contract issue.<br />
This would be discussed further at a<br />
future meeting.<br />
Adjournment <strong>of</strong> <strong>Board</strong> <strong>Meeting</strong>: The<br />
meeting was adjourned at 10:20 PM.<br />

Firebreaks Required<br />
I am sure you all realize the importance<br />
<strong>of</strong> cutting firebreaks <strong>of</strong> at least 50<br />
feet if you live along the perimeter <strong>of</strong><br />
open space. (A permit is not needed.)<br />
The 1963 Senate Bill 643 requires a<br />
"defensible space" and applies to anyone<br />
that has a "...building or structure<br />
in or adjoining a mountainous area or<br />
forest covered lands, grass covered<br />
lands or any land which is covered by<br />
flammable material." In 1992 fines and<br />
penalties were established.<br />
State Public Resources Code also<br />
requires that property owners:<br />
• remove any portion <strong>of</strong> a tree extending<br />
within 10 feet <strong>of</strong> chimney outlets;<br />
• remove deadwood on trees adjacent<br />
to or overhanging structures;<br />
• remove leaves or other dead material<br />
from ro<strong>of</strong>s;<br />
• provide screens on chimney outlets.<br />
Help us keep our neighborhood safe<br />
from wildfires.<br />
Great Website for<br />
Modern Homes<br />
The ARC would like to recommend<br />
a website that they discovered that has<br />
many ideas and pictures <strong>of</strong> modern<br />
fences and front modern landscaping.<br />
This website is www.Houzz.com<br />
and could be useful in planning a remodeling<br />
project or to just provide you<br />
with great ideas for landscaping.<br />
Pet Owners Help<br />
Requested<br />
Pet owners please be considerate <strong>of</strong><br />
your neighbors lawns and plants when<br />
walking your dogs. Remember to walk<br />
dogs on a leash and clean up after them.<br />
This is especially a problem along Idylberry.<br />
Also, please do not use someone<br />
else's garbage can for your dog waste.<br />
Hide Those Trash<br />
Cans<br />
The critters are out full force at this time<br />
<strong>of</strong> year. Also, trash cans were never<br />
considered a design element. For the<br />
above reasons and any others, after your<br />
trash is collected, please be considerate<br />
and place your trash cans behind your<br />
fence or in your garage.<br />
The ARC thanks you.<br />

Street Construction<br />
Projects in <strong>Lucas</strong><br />
<strong>Valley</strong><br />
Several street construction<br />
projects are occurring in our community<br />
over the next two or three months.<br />
The crosswalks on Idylberry are<br />
being modified to be ADA compliant,<br />
TV and Internet cable is being installed<br />
on all streets, and Idylberry Road is<br />
being repaved. New cable connection<br />
boxes and pedestals will be installed<br />
along the sidewalks. Some <strong>of</strong> these<br />
projects may result in temporary delays<br />
or inconvenience, but this should be<br />
for only a short time.<br />
The existing natural gas,<br />
electric, communication, water, and<br />
sewer lines have been marked to help<br />
the contractors avoid damaging the<br />
existing utilities. However, some<br />
outages could occur because <strong>of</strong> the<br />
need to relocate some utilities and due<br />
to accidental damage.<br />
If you experience problems,<br />
please contact the appropriate service<br />
provider.<br />
