The board discussed the on-going concern regarding water running down the hill from the Birch Bay Resort Park which is on the top of the hill directly East of Mariners' Cove property.   Carol will write letters for the Board to the owners of the Resort Park property and to the Birch Bay Water District expressing our concern that the run-off will weaken the hill and cause a slide on to Mariners Cove property, and requesting the Resort Park owners correct the drainage problem. 

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Rental Units – letter from Chris Urquhart.

    • Rental Units Letter from Chris Urquhart concerning the length of time of rental agreements.   The CCRs state no less than thirty days.  Historically, the Homeowners Association Owners have expressed an understanding that rental agreements are to be no less than one year.  The purpose of the length of agreement is understood by owners to be a desire to keep the community from being a short-term rental complex.  The Board agreed owners should be strongly encouraged to rent their units for no less than one year. 

2. Clubhouse oven.

    • The door is broken on the clubhouse oven. Wayne will handle the purchase of a new stove.
