Sprinkler System:
o Ken
Lemke has discussed the sprinkler system with the landscapers. They recommend
replacement of the timer valves to a better quality value which would handle
the higher demand of our system. They also recommend changing the sprinkler
heads themselves to alow for better coverage. The landscapers quoted the job at
$1,500.00. Ken gave them the ok to complete the job.
§
The landscaper called Ken and told him the
valves were more expensive than anticipated and provided a new quote of
$1,800.00 to $2,000.00 to complete the job. Ken again gave his approval for the
work. The job was to be complete on the day of the meeting, but has not yet

College Street:

o The
board voted to build the wall at the 20 inch height to avoid further delays and
costs.

location. Ken worked with the city, but was unable to locate a copy of the
plan. Gerald Fisher volunteered to obtain the plans for the sight.

to be planted. He will obtain quotes and delivery options and provide them to

Street Trees:
o “Are
you Treeless?” – By Gerald Fisher
§
A tree committee was formed at the June 2000
board meeting to determine the number of homes without trees and an assessment
was presented in the July meeting.
§
Currently, ninety-three (93) homes are without
the required trees planed in the parking (sic) areas.
§
“To minimize the cost to homeowner (sic) and
improve the survivability of the trees, the Board voted and approved the
planting of 1” diameter trees, rather than the 2” diameter as specified in the
CC&Rs.”
§
After 1/01/01, the tree issue will be turned
over to the CC&R committee for resolution.
·
CC&R Complaints:
o All
homeowners of Oak Knoll read and signed a statement upon purchase that said we
read, understood and accepted the CC&R’s (Conditions, Covenants and
Restrictions) as they are written, and gave power to the Homeowners’
Association to uphold the CC&R’s.
o At
the July Board meeting a Complaint Review Committee was formed to address
possible violations of the CC&R’s. The complaint process allows residents
to voice their concerns about violations without face-to-face confrontations
with neighbors.
o The
goal is to uphold the esthetic appeal of our neighborhood, keep our property
values high and foster a sense of community pride.

Four new Board members have been added due to
some term rotations and resignations. Louis Larson and Tucker Johnson were
voted in at the last monthly meeting. Louis will be this years V.P. Also, Patti
Baker and Bob Van Vlack were confirmed at the June monthly meeting.
·
You may not realize it, but your association may
be the only thing that protects the value of your home and this neighborhood we
live in. That is why the Board has directed the Compliance committee to move
forward in enforcing the CC&R’s. What this means is that each Lot owner in
Oak Knoll shall be expected to maintain their yards in a “reasonably clean,
neat, attractive and visually pleasing manner so as to not detract from Oak
Knoll being a high-class residential neighborhood.”… By signing that document
each purchaser of a home in Oak Knoll agreed to abide by those Codes, Covenants,
and Restrictions.
·
There are other sections of the CC&R’s that
will be enforced by the Compliance Committee from this time forward:
o Section
3.6 – “No trucks rated in excess of one (1) ton”
o Section
3.7 – “No personal property such as trailer, recreational vehicle, boat, camper
unit or tent shall be placed, stored or parked on any Lot, or in any part of
Oak Knoll for a period of time in excess of fourteen (14) days in a calendar
year”
o Section
3.8 – “No private vehicle parking shall be allowed on any street.”
o Section
4.6.7 – “Street Trees. Each Lot shall have installed on it the number and type
of street trees required.”
o Section
8.3 – “The duty of every Owner of any Lot in Oak Knoll as to maintenance and
repair shall extend and include the area between the property line of any Lot
and the nearest curb.”
·
The Association will be exercising its right
under Section 8.3 when non-compliance situations are brought to our attention.
This Section states that “The Association shall have the right to, upon the giving
of a thirty (30) days written notice and having received no response from the
owner of any lot who fails to comply with the standards and provisions for
maintenance and having knowledge that said owner has in fact received such
notice, enter into said lot and accomplish such maintenance, such as mowing
unsightly areas or pruning of planted trees or bushes that impede views,
painting or repairing fencing and such other work as is reasonably necessary to
effectuate compliance with standards of maintenance. Costs incurred for such
repairs or work shall be paid immediately by the non-complying owner after
presentation of a billing.”
·
You may have noticed the damage to the Oak Knoll
sign at the entrance of Foothills Drive. We have been in contact with the insurance
carrier for the vehicle responsible. As soon as a settlement is complete a
decision will be made to either make repairs or relocate the rock sign. There
has been some interest in moving the sign to the west side of the circle on
Foothills Drive and re-landscaping that area. If the decision is to move it,
its present location would be restored to its original state.

August 2001:
·
“One of the items that will be included in the
newsletter will be in reference to different sections of the CC&Rs…The
larges number of complaints have been in regards to the poorly kept properties
as you enter on Foothills Drive off College.”
·
The parking of cars on the street is part of the
CC&R’s that the board will continue to address. The Newberg Police talked
to us about that and gave some very logical common sense reasons to part cars
in your driveway or preferably in the garage. When your car is parked on the
street it is an easy target for vandalism and theft. Also it makes it more
difficult for fire engine to access your house in the case of an emergency.
August 14, 2001 Meeting Minutes:
·
Several association members attended the board
meeting. Many had received landscape correction notices, and wanted
explanations. These included: Martin Millages, Joel Murrays, Norm Paulsons.

Everything shelved and they start over. That is why things have been prolonged.
April 2002:
·
“As spring has sprung, you’ll find many of us
enjoying the nicer weather out in our yards. Enjoying? Oh no, what is that pile
of poop? If your pet is in the habit of going out unescorted, please be aware
that many of your neighbors may be harboring some ill thoughts. We are asking
all pet owners to remember that dogs should be leashed for their own safety as
well as for the consideration of others. If you walk your dog, please carry

·
“The goals of the Board of Directors this year
are to maintain and improve our common landscape areas, to increase association
committee neighborhood participation, and to assist homeowners with knowledge
and information regarding the CC&Rs, (especially in how the CC&Rs
provide homeowners with general rules and regulations to live in a planned
community).
·
The Board is here for the common good of the
community…The Association is here to support our neighborhood.
·
Please be a responsible pet owner and keep in
mind that your wandering pet may be providing the next meal for our local
coyote population…Keep your animal(s) away from your neighbor’s property. If
you are unable to restrain your animal(s), do realize that you are responsible
for any deposits they leave behind and for any damage they may cause. As
always, association members that have concerns with their neighbor’s pets need to
work these concerns out between themselves. If you cannot do so, you may need
to turn to the local police animal control or legal action.
July 9, 2002 Meeting Minutes:
·
Members Open Forum
o Pointed
out that OKHA is responsible for maintaining alleys along Foothills. CC&R
7.3
o Requested
that landscaping service start mowing after 8 AM due to new baby. Lynette will
contact landscaping service and request schedule change.
o Inquired
as to who was responsible for weeds behind fences on College / 219. It was
decided that owners were responsible for weeds on their property. Also, some of

the City to assist with weeds on City property.

·
On 06/11/02, Bob Van Vlack raised a concern
about the new large recycling / yard waste bins supplied by the Newberg Garbage
& Recycling Service. It was suggested that keeping these in front of the
house was a violation of the CC&Rs, and that compliance should be enforced
by levying fines against the homeowners. The board discussed the fact that such
large and numerous containers had been delivered without consent of the owners,
and that they were not considered at the time the CC&Rs were written. The
board unanimously decided that the standard would be that the containers must
be kept in a neat and clean manner if they were visible from the public
streets. The board also unanimously decided that attempting to issue fines
would not be considered a useable enforcement technique at this time.
·
New Business
o Copy
Card: It was unanimously approved to obtain a $150 prepaid copy card from Mail
Boxes Etc. This will give the board the ability to make 3 cent copies for OKHA
business.

the proper authority.

Notice of Assessment:
o The
current Board is aware that many homeowners might not have received a formal
notice of this fee…The Treasurer is providing a letter to those whose fees have
not been paid.

avoid further Board action by sending your payment…

consideration of feedback from you, and thorough investigation into all viable
options, your Board of Directors has voted to outsource the management of our
Association.”

Directors, we are, first and foremost, your neighbors. We respect every
individual owner’s thoughts and concerns, and feel that this move takes the
majority of those into consideration.”

community associations of all kinds.”

comfort of all concerned.

Old Business
o Lou
Larson reviewed his appearance at the planning commission where he presented
homeowner concerns regarding the impact of continuing home construction on the
neighborhood. The main concern is water runoff and subsequent erosion problems.
Lou felt it important to make the concerns a matter of public record to
facilitate follow-up on any action the city may take. He noted our association
with 220 homes packs some political clout.

was held on the plan to deliver a copy of the CC&Rs along with the NW

board members who will hand deliver the material. Gary will contact Armen to
check the status of the copies of the CC&Rs he volunteered to run off.

discussion was held regarding the continuing vacancy of the commercial building

mini-mart at that site and the City rejected a café proposal.

requested a time to take a neighborhood tour with the board members to
ascertain CC&R compliance issues.

Chair Thoughts:
o Association
members volunteering their time and expenditures are helping our community
become a more attractive place to live. The following have done their part for
all of us. Albert and Tammy Konze at 3239 N. Center St. struggled for several
years with a lawn that just wouldn’t look the way they wanted. Last year they
installed a new sod lawn. What a difference it has made!
o Guy
Rains purchased his home at 3306 Center St. this year. It used to be a rental
property and never looked very good. Now it looks great! Now a marginal
property is an asset to our community.
o Rex
and Lynette Osborne purchased their home at 3229 Center St. a couple years ago.
This property never looked that great. Now it is a real addition to our area.

are just a few examples that are making Oak Knoll an attractive neighborhood.

placed within or on any Lot, House, building, structure or in any areas or part
of Oak Knoll except one (1) sign not larger than eighteen (18) inches by

of the numerous complaints regarding the number and placement of signs

signs, however other signs that are commonly see are “For Sale” and “For Rent”
signs, whether they are on property being rented or not will be considered a
violation. The only exception to this rule is the use of political signs, which

our last board meeting…several homeowners…were confused about the Architectural
Review process…This confusion isn’t surprising because it seems each group of
the Board members who have directed the Association have had differing views on
this topic.”
o “The
reason that the Board has requests (sic) plans of homeowners who are significantly
modifying their landscaping or the physical structure of their home, through
the building of an addition…”

changes.”

May 2005:
·
From the Board:
o At
last count there were over 100 missing (street) trees in our Association.
During the April 19th meeting the Board discussed the ramifications
off CC&R rule 4.6.7
§
“Street Trees. Each Lot shall have installed on
it the number and type of street trees under any landscaping plan submitted by
Declarant and approved by the City of Newberg. Each Owner shall pay to
Declarant upon demand, the amount necessary for Declarant to install the street
trees on Owner’s Lot. Upon receipt of payment, Declarant shall have the street
trees installed. In the event an Owner fails or refused to pay Declarant the
cost of the street trees, Declarant shall have a lien upon the Lot for the cost
of the street trees, which lien may be perfected and foreclosed as provided
under Oregon statutes.”
o The
problem with the Declarant putting in the trees and making the owner pay was
that in most cases there was no owner, yet. Most of the homes in our
neighborhood were built speculatively.
o To
confuse things just a little more there is also a city ordinance that states
that a Final Occupancy Permit is not to be granted until the proper trees are
planted. So, in parking strips (sic) where there are no trees the City was
negligent in enforcing its own ordinance.
o The
Board feels strongly that all home owners (sic) should be treated equally. When
a home owner (sic) submits a plan for changing the landscape design of their
parking strips (sic), the board must require that the correct trees are a part
of the plan.
o The
Board decided that it isn’t fair that people who don’t submit plans for
landscape changes are not being required to plant trees.
o But
because we think the City was negligent by not enforcing the ordinance, instead
of simply requiring all home owners (sic) to plant trees, it was decided that
first we would attempt to work with the city to resolve the issue.
o The
Board has not decided what to do is we are not successful with the City.
o If
you don’t want to wait and would like to plant your trees now, the following is
a list of tree types…

payment due in 90 days, to pay the balance of the repair not covered by their

Foothills. The city reported they found no signs of a water leak in the area.

·
New Business:
o The
Board discussed the letter and petition that has been sent from a homeowner in
Oak Knoll to other owners in the association. The Board asked the association’s
legal counsel to review the process currently used for funding the
association’s reserve account and counsel confirmed the Board is complying with
the governing documents and state states. The attorney states the following:
§
“Oak Knoll was formed prior to October 23, 1999.
ORS 94.595(5)(a) provides that pre-October 23, 1999 Associations may ‘opt-in’
to the reserve study requirements in ORS 94.595(3)(a) but are not subject to
those requirements (aka do not have to conduct a reserve study) unless and until
they opt in. Pursuant to ORS 94.595(5)(a), your HOA has yet to ‘opt-in’ to the
reserve study requirement. Thus there is no legal requirement that Oak Knoll
conduct a reserve study.”
February 15, 2011 Meeting Minutes:
·
Unfinished Business:
o Tree
replacement – a motion was made by Don and seconded to approve the bid from
Tree0ific to install three 2 ½” Caliper trees on Foothills Drive for $695. The

·
New Business:
o A
motion was made by Tony and seconded to obtain an opinion letter from the
Association’s attorney on the Board’s long standing interpretation of the
CC&Rs as it relates to the HOA being responsible for the maintenance of the
street trees in the common areas (ie. Planter strips), especially as that interpretation
is applied to sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the CC&Rs. After discussion, the
motion unanimously failed and an opinion letter will not be requested. It is
the Board’s opinion that section 7.1 clearly states that the common areas are
clearly defined and that the planter strips include the street trees
March 15, 2011 Meeting Minutes:
·
Manager’s Report:
o Superior
informed the Board that Treeific is not able to obtain the 2 1/2 “ caliper
trees from his original source. Andrew was found 2 ¼” trees from another company

originally bid

justification for the Board’s decision to repair the sidewalks on Foothills
when they are damaged by the street trees maintained by the HOA. The Board
indicated they have reviewed the associations documents and discussed the
decision with legal counsel and have made a sound decision that it is not
necessary for the HOA to incur additional legal expense to amend the CC&Rs
to specifically address this situation.

·
Executive Session:
o Motion
was made and seconded to move to Executive session to meet with the
Association’s attorney.
·
Unfinished Business:
o Motion
was made and seconded to have a homeowner meeting in September to discuss the
need for a $5,000 special assessment to amend the Associations CC&Rs to
clearly reflect the HOAs responsibility for maintaining street trees and
sidewalks on Foothills Drive. The proposed amendment would also correct the
location of the monument in the traffic circle and allow for the storage of
waste and recycle cans alongside the homes. The motion was unanimously
approved.
o Superior
will draft a letter to owners regarding the meeting and send it to the Board
for review before mailing. The board discussed the importance of owner
participation since the amendment will need approval of 75% of owners. The
Board believes it is important to amend the documents since a literal
interpretation could be made to have the HOA responsible for the maintenance of
all street trees in the entire Association which would result in a significant
increase in landscaping costs and owner assessments
September 20, 2011:
·
Unfinished Business:
o Motion
was made and seconded to amend the CCRs to address issues with trees and
sidewalk maintenance, monument location and storing waste receptacles. After

resident, the vote was taken. Joe and Don voted yes. Brenda, Tony and Linda
voted no. The motion failed. The Board will send a letter to homeowners
regarding the decision with the 2012 assessment mailing. Combining the letter
with the assessment will reduce mail expense.

·
New Business:
o Sunrise
Landscape discussed the problems with the irrigation on Foothills. Noel will
select one of the irrigation zones and put a bid together for relocating and
changing some of the heads. It is expected the change will provide better
coverage and use less water. Making the initial change in just one area will
provide the Board an opportunity to compare water usage and appearance of the
area before changing other zones. Noel will also install a new lock on the
controller that will have better protection from the weather

(b) Or, is
designed for use primarily for the transportation of property. Examples include
semi trucks, tow trucks, pickups, vans or autos with equipment attached such as

A vehicle
of standard size, e.g. Passenger car, van, or truck that has company logo is
not automatically considered ‘commercial’ unless it is hauling or towing
equipment or bears a commercial license plate.
·
At any
time, if we see a vehicle and we’re not sure if it fits our examples, we should
provide the board with the location or a picture and at least two board members
will take a look and make the decision.
·
If a
vehicle is designated ‘commercial’ by the Board, the owner much (sic) park the
vehicle in their garage or driveway and it cannot hang over the driveway on the
sides or sidewalk. If it is too big to fit in the garage or driveway, than it
cannot be parked in the association.
