The Rainbow Lakes West 3rd HOA Board has been working on changes and enhancements to our covenants over the last several months. We recently mailed a copy of the proposed new covenants and we are scheduled to have a meeting regarding the covenants this Thursday evening. The HOA board encourages you to come to the meeting this meeting so we can answer all of your questions, many of which have been misunderstood or misrepresented by a neighbor going door-to-door in our area.

Our sole intent in updating the covenants is to assure that our home values remain steady or increase due to the quality of our upkeep, appearance, and care of our properties. Your HOA board is made up of your neighbors who will also be abiding by these covenants. We would not propose anything that seemed unreasonable or unfair. The covenant changes would ensure that the HOA board could enforce covenants in a timely and effective manner and help enhance the visual appeal of our neighborhood.

We would ask that each homeowner read the proposed changes yourself and refrain from making judgments until you have attended the meeting or have spoken with a board member to hear the reasoning behind the changes.

We will welcome the opportunity to dialogue with you regarding any concerns you may have. Please come with an open mind and the understanding that we only want to improve our neighborhood.
Here is a description of some of the proposed changes that has one neighbor campaigning door-to-door and the thinking behind these changes.

G. No automobile, truck, motorcycle, boat, trailer of any type, camper, recreational vehicle or any other vehicle of any type or description may be stored or permanently, continually or regularly parked on any Building Site or driveway. “Stored, permanently, continually or regularly parked” shall mean parking or storing said vehicle on a Building Site for more then seventy-two (72) consecutive hours. Vehicle repairs other than ordinary light maintenance are not permitted on the Property unless taking place inside of the garage of a Residence.

In summary, this change is to prevent using your home driveways as a storage facility. The objective of this point is to prevent “project cars”, boats, trailers, RVs, etc. from being stored permanently in driveways. As long as you move/drive your vehicles parked on the driveway, there is no issue. –or– If you regularly move your vehicle(s) parked in the driveway it is not an issue. Inspections of the neighborhood are only done once every two weeks. If you have a vehicle, boat, trailer, RV, etc. that sits month after month (or year after year) in your driveway, we feel it detracts from the look of the neighborhood and hurts everyone’s property values.

M. Each Owner shall keep and maintain all Building Sites and all Improvements therein or thereon, in good order and repair including, by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, the seeding, watering and mowing of all lawns, the pruning and cutting of all trees, shrubbery and plantings, and the painting(or other appropriate external care) of all Improvements, all in a manner and with such frequency as in consistent with good property management in relation to the high quality residential neighborhood to be developed on the Property. Owners of Lots adjacent to lakes shall be required to maintain such Lots all the way to the water’s edge to include planting or seeding grass, mowing, watering, trimming and weed control.

In summary, this change documents what has been a verbal rule for many years. The objective is to put this into writing instead of just word-of-mouth. If you have a lake lot, you maintain the grass up to the water’s edge of the lake.

S. Notice of non-compliance and hearing. The Board of Directors or their agent shall have the authority to determine compliance with this Declaration. Upon receipt of an allegation of a Lot’s non-compliance, the Board of Directors shall review the allegations and determine if action is necessary. If the Board of Directors determines that action is necessary, the Owner of the Lot shall be notified in writing of the allegation and the Owner shall have ten (10) days to request a hearing with the Board of Directors to dispute the allegations. If the Owner fails to respond to the notification with ten (10) days, or after a hearing, the Board of Directors determines the Owner’s dispute of the allegation is without merit, the board or its agent shall notify the Owner in writing of the Board of Directors’ determination of non-compliance. The Owner shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of the notice of non-compliance to bring the Lot into compliance, determination of compliance to be the Board of Directors’ sole discretion.

In summary, this gives homeowners that are cited for being out of compliance a chance to present their case to the HOA Board. It outlines the number of days to make changes based on the citation and/or number of days to meet with the HOA Board.

S-1 Damages for breach of Declaration. In the event the Lot is not in compliance within fifteen (15) days from the date of the notice of non compliance, the Owner shall pay the Association an amount equal to $50 per occurrence of non-compliance issues from the date of the notice of non-compliance, not to exceed $500 per month of non-compliance, not as a penalty but as liquidated damages for the Owner’s breach of the Declaration.

In summary, this gives the HOA the ability to levy a fine for those homeowners that refuse to comply with the covenants. Without this section, the HOA can only ask an owner to make changes. If the homeowner refuses, there is nothing more the HOA Board can do.

The changes in our covenants have been reviewed and approved by HOA Management company which manages and reviews covenants of over 160+ Wichita area HOA’s. In addition, the proposed covenants have been review by an attorney that specializes in HOA covenants. The HOA board has been working for years to enhance and improve our covenants making them similar to other Wichita HOA’s. We are happy to finally have covenants at Rainbow Lakes West 3rd which are similar to other west-side HOAs.

Finally, the changes proposed to our covenants are standard with most other Wichita HOA’s covenants. If you want to read other HOA’s covenants, here are a few links.

Nov. 20, 2017

Attendees: Brad Sweet, Keith Stutzman, Jana Pote, Dee Means, Agnes Johnson, Tom Rausch, Nate Adams, Rodney Wright (VP HOA Management Services), Kara Smith (HOA Management Services)

The meeting was called to order at approximately 7:00 p.m. at the home of Dee Means, 115 N. Rainbow Lakes Road.

Agenda items:

1. Introductions

2. Minutes from October board meeting were approved.

3. Mary, Brad and Phil have gone to the bank to get signature cards changed and paperwork completed for HOA Management Services to handle the paying of bills.

4. Brad and Keith reported that the broken pump at the east end of Reservoir A will be repaired/replaced by Dave Deffenbach, a homeowner. Dave did the original wiring and installation of the aerator pumps, and has offered to do the work at his cost. The board is grateful for his generosity. Cost will be approximately $450.

5. Kara reviewed the financial statement.

6. Zone rep reports:

a. Agnes: concern about the weeds/unkempt bushes around the signs at the front entrance. The board would like to plan a volunteer work day next May when the landscaping can be updated and cleaned up. Details to come. It was also suggested that we ask homeowners to sign up for one week during the summer to volunteer to care for the landscaping.
b. The question was raised concerning who puts up our Christmas lights each year at the front entrance. We were unsure who does that.
c. Keith stated that parked cars/trailers that are left for extended periods of time need to be reported to the city by calling 911. This is a city issue, not an HOA issue. An officer will come chalk the tire of the reported vehicle, and it will be impounded if not moved after the warning.

7. HOA Management Services report: They continue to document and sent notices regarding yard clean-up, exterior projects, and junk in driveways.

8. New homeowner Tom Rausch and roofer Nate Adams attended to discuss a concern about the roof approval process. The board agreed that the approved roofing materials list needs to be updated and will have the architectural approval committee begin this process as soon as possible. In the meantime, Tom will meet with Al Cavallaro (ACC chair) to get approval for his roof this week.

9. Rodney discussed the proposed changed to the covenants. Several revisions will be made and the HOA will have the opportunity to vote on the changes in the near future.

10. Jana asked about putting up “No Soliciting” signs at each entrance, but some felt that these are ineffective. Rodney stated that we should simply call 911 and report a suspicious person when solicitors come to our neighborhood. The police will verify whether they have a license to solicit in Wichita.

11. Brad will notify the board of the date and time of the next board meeting. The board typically does not meet in December.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

Rainbow Lakes West 3rd
HOA Board Meeting
October 16, 2017

Attendees: Brad Sweet, Keith Stutzman, Jana Pote, Dee Means, Agnes Johnson, Al Cavallaro, Mary Hill, Kenny Hughes, Terri Wolfe (HOA Management Services)

The meeting was called to order at approximately 7:00 p.m. at the home of Mary Hill, 142 S. Forestview.

Agenda items:

1. Introductions were made as many new board members were in attendance.

2. Minutes from August board meeting were approved.

3. Election of officers:
a. President: Brad Sweet
b. Vice President: Dee Means
c. Secretary: Jana Pote
d. Treasurer: Mary Hill

4. Mary, Brad and Phil will go to the bank to get signature cards changed as a result of the change of officers.

5. Contact information for board members was compiled. Terri Wolfe will send a finished list.

6. The covenants and by-laws need to be updated so they comply with state laws and other HOA’s. Previous attorneys have not been successful in making them fit our HOA. Rodney with HOA Management Services will be working to correct this problem in the very near future, hopefully before our November meeting.
a. The revisions/improvements to the covenants and by-laws must be approved by a 60% majority vote of the homeowners. A decision will likely be made at our November meeting as to how the vote will take place (special meeting, door to door by zone reps, other?).
b. The discussion clarified that covenants are the agreed-upon restrictions and protections with which homeowners agree to comply upon purchasing a home in the HOA, and that the by-laws provide the structure by which the HOA board may enforce those covenants, conduct business, and govern
themselves.
c. The board will pursue the addition of wording regarding property maintenance (mowing, seeding, painting, trash containers, etc.) as well as the extended parking of RV’s, boats, and non-operational vehicles, which could include fines for failure to comply.
d. The validity of current liens was discussed, acknowledging that new liens will need to be issued upon the approval of the new covenants and by-laws.

7. Terri Wolfe explained the function and purpose of using the services of HOA Management Services. An informational sheet will be distributed to all HOA members which should clarify exactly what we can expect from them.
a. The Architectural Control Committee will no longer accept project requests from HOA members. Rather, homeowners will submit their requests {Project Approval Request, or PAR) through HOA Management Services who will in turn present the requests to the Architectural Control Committee for approval.

b. Emphasis was placed on the fact that the homeowners are not paying additional dues at this time to finance the use of HOA Management. Because the board consists of volunteers AND few homeowners choose to volunteer to serve, the consensus among the previous and the newly-elected board members is that their services will be well worth the cost and will encourage greater homeowner participation in future years. NOTE: At the end of one year with HOA Management Services, homeowners’ dues will need to be increased to fund the cost if we continue to use HOA Management Services. The amount of the increase will be determined as the time grows closer.

8. Terri Wolfe reviewed the covenant offenses noted by HOA Management Services. Photos have been taken for documentation, and a list was provided to board members. Inspections take place approximately bi-weekly.

9. Following the removal of the small dock at the east end of Reserve A, some metal posts remain in the lake. They have been painted red to warn of the hazard. The contractor who removed the dock intends to remove the poles once the water level drops adequately, but this did not happen this year. The board retained $100 of his fee to be paid upon completion of their removal. Another bid for $800 was quoted for removal at this time, but the board feels we should wait a bit longer for an opportunity to have the original contractor complete the job for the final $100.

10. Discussion was held regarding two long-standing covenant violations. The homeowners are aware the violations, but the board is awaiting the covenants and by-laws updates before taking further action.

11. Goals of this board for the upcoming year in Rainbow Lakes West 3rd:

a. Update covenants and by-laws (current ones are available on the HOA website https://www.rainbowlakes3.com/ )
b. Emphasize social involvement (zone gatherings, annual potluck, Neighborhood Night Out)
c. Create a directory for all homeowners (names/addresses provided, homeowners may choose to add phone/email info)
d. Increase annual HOA dues if we continue to use HOA Management Services.

12. The next board meeting will take place Monday, Nov. 20 Mary Hill’s house. All meetings will be scheduled on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m.

Following an expression of thanks to Terri Wolfe for attending, the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

These posts are not really hurting anything, but if cut off below water level and someone accidentally were hurt by the poles which they could not see, we could have a problem.

A discussion of the services provided by Custom Lawn Service affirmed that they are doing the job they were hired to do, at the Maple street entryway, and it is in better condition as a result. They are treating the trees, and fertilizing and providing week control
There is a tree growing inside the scotch pine located just East of the East side monument which needs to be removed. Cleaning up the overgrown greenery inside the monuments, and later making other planting improvements inside the monuments, was also discussed.
Rusted out Mailbox
Mary Hill reported she had forwarded a picture of the rusted-out mailbox in Zone 1 to the Postmaster General, and as a result the box was replaced with a new postal receptacle.
She is now attempting to have some of the Westar electrical boxes that are also in bad condition, replaced.
Old Business:
The proposed contract from the HOA Management Company, previously provided to the board, was discussed.
Phil Iwinski moved and Keith Stutzman seconded that we sign a 12-month contract beginning July 1, 2017, with the HOA Management Company, motion carried.
Our insurance is due soon and it is hoped that by signing an agreement with the HOA Management Company we may be able to reduce our insurance expense. The management company would also be the point of contact for the homeowners for ALL COMPLAINTS.
It is anticipated that the HOA Management company then would do all the preparation for the annual meeting, send out notices, notice of dues, etc.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:00 p.m.
