BOARD MEETING DATE HAS CHANGED TO

 NOVEMBER 14th.

WATER BUILDING    10AM

October 28, 2009                           

Dear Fellow Owners:

It has come to the Board’s attention that there have been incidents of vandalism in the community.  The Board does not know if these acts are caused by members or non-members or whether they are related to the current heated dispute over the short-term rental issue: owners on both sides of the issue claim to have been affected.

The Board does not condone physical or property damage directed towards any member of Chiwawa River Pines.  Members are advised to file a police complaint immediately if they feel personally threatened or have suffered property damage.  The Board also would like to remind all members that the proper forum for the resolution of this issue is through the legal system. 

The Board has received complaints from owners about the continued operation of the short-term rentals and is following its Enforcement Policy in parallel to the ongoing litigation.  Generally, pursuant to the Enforcement Policy, the alleged violating owner must file a response within ten (10) day of receipt of their letter to let the Board know how they intend to rectify the situation or request a hearing before the Board.  The Enforcement Policy is a multi-step process:  three written notices are sent before the owner has a final hearing before the Board for an opportunity to address the complaint in person.

On advisement of the association’s attorney, the last hearing before the Board will be scheduled after the summary judgment hearing.  This hearing will be scheduled in the next few months. Please check the website for updates on the hearing date (http://chiwawariverpines.wordpress.com/).    

The Plaintiffs in the current lawsuit against the Association have been advised that if they do not prevail on their legal argument at the hearing, the Board expects Plaintiffs to comply with the Protective Covenants immediately. 

Sincerely,

Board of Trustees, Chiwawa Community Association

Here is a photo sent to me by Laura.   Does anyone know which lot this is?

Thank You!

“My parents owned a couple of lots on the Chiwawa River back in the late 60’s – early 70’s and built a cozy A-frame on it.  What I remember:  after turning left (from Seattle) at Plain, we drove til we came to a little store on the right side.  Then we crossed a little bridge.  My parent’s property was on the left side of the road.  It had a nice flat landing for a cabin.  Behind the cabin there was a steep slope that went down to the Chiwawa River.  Lots of big rocks, no real shoreline.

While we had the cabin, there were just a handful of buildings in the neighborhood.  The local sheriff drove through each time we visited and stopped to chat with my dad.”
