·      The Oak Knoll Homeowners’ Association (OHKA) Board has received several questions since its inception regarding failure of residents to adhere to the CC&Rs. The Board has pulled excerpts from the current CC&Rs reflecting the most often-asked questions.

o   Lot owners failing to keep grass and weeds cut and controlled
o   Residents failing to maintain landscaped areas
o   Residents and lot owners allowing rubbish to accumulate on lots
·      The Board would also like to clarify the responsibilities of renters with regard to the Oak Knoll CC&Rs. The CC&Rs state that renters have the same obligations, rights and responsibilities as owners except that renters cannot vote in general Membership meetings.
·      Please remember that enforcement of the CC&Rs is meant to make Oak Knoll a better place for all residents. This can be accomplished by increased beauty and property values for all.

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.

·      CC&R Complaints:

July 14, 2001 Letter from the Board of Directors:
·      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.
o   Letter signed by:
§  Gerald Fisher, President
§  Louis Larson, Vise President
§  Clayton Brown
§  Kristin Puhlschneider
§  Howard Pitts
§  Timothy Hatton
§  Patti Baker
§  Bob Van Vlack

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.

·      Discussions not documented on official meeting minutes:
o   Budget – no contingency for reserve account and they admitted no money has been going into the reserve
o   Joel – Billings, talked with CPA, certified mail to about 50 homes still past due on Dues
o   Board’s excuse for doing nothing on CC&R complaints due to board’s turnover rate. 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 along a handy dandy poop-gathering bag.”

July 2002:

·      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 properties in question lie outside of OKHA. Patti Baker will be contacting the City to assist with weeds on City property.

o   Traffic Safety – City is not in favor of painted crosswalks
·      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.

ODOT controls this intersection. Gary suggests he and other committee members put together a report showing need to present to the proper authority.
o   An assessment may need to be levied on all homeowners to obtain adequate funds to complete the irrigation fix. Linda suggested a full board vote when all members are present.

On the agenda will be a review of the planned hiring of Northwest Community Management Company to provide management services for OKHA. A representative of the company will attend to answer directly any of your questions. Following the review a decision will be made on the basis of a majority vote of members present whether or not to contract for their services.
·      Based on this information the Board of Directors unanimously recommends the hiring of NW Community Management to help all of us maintain our pleasant and comfortable neighborhood.
·      If time allows, discussion will also be held on ways and means of enhancing Association Board and committee membership. There are currently three Board members and no committee participation. We need help.
o   Signed: Gary Heckman, Joel Murray and Lynette Osbourne

February 11, 2003 Meeting Minutes:
·      Meeting called to order by Gary Heckman. He stated the purpose of this meeting was to discuss and vote on whether or not to hire NW Community Management to assist the Board in conducting Association business.

·      Gary reviewed the decision to hire Northwest Community Management to manage association business. He said he expected to initiate the contract within five days at the earliest.

April 8, 2003 Meeting Minutes:
·      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.
o   Discussion was held on the plan to deliver a copy of the CC&Rs along with the NW Community Management welcome letter. The neighborhood was divided up among the 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.
·      New Business
o   General discussion was held regarding the continuing vacancy of the commercial building on the corner of College and Foothill. The belief is that Avamere owns the building and maintains control over the property as long as the building is vacant. Various stories have been circulated regarding Avamere rejecting a mini-mart at that site and the City rejected a café proposal.

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.

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…
·      A Special Thank You:
o   Linda Hanson will be going off the Board after the next Board meting having served for the passed two years. She came on to fill a vacancy and has served as our Secretary ever since. Before that she served on the board in various positions, including as President.

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.”

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.

March 15, 2011 Meeting Minutes:

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:
