Dear PineWild
Homeowners:
Happy New Year!
Several important events have occurred since my last letter
of November 9th, 2009.
Lise and Bill
Bandes are Leaving PineWild:
They sold their
beautiful home, unit 130, to PineWild’s newest members Joan and Jim
Scatena on December 31st, 2009. Bill, an owner for 29+
years, lived here full time for 8+ years. He served PineWild for
many years as a Board member and Chairman of the Beach Committee and
Tennis Court Committee. Bill was proactive in his love for PineWild
and work diligently to preserve the best qualities of beautiful Lake
Tahoe for future PineWild generations. I will miss Lise and Bill as
they move to Roseville in April. Welcome to Joan and Jim Scatena.
They worked with Sam McMullen, Bill and their agent to include in
their closing a document formally transfer responsibility for the
skylights to them and they went the extra mile to close the sale by
year’s end.
Robert
Jester:
Thank you Jess,
Board member and Chair of the Insurance Committee, for single
handily securing comprehensive insurance coverage for PineWild at an
excellent price. While you are not a candidate for reelection, I
hope you remain Insurance Chair. Brilliant job!
Restated
CC&Rs Adopted:
As of January 12th,
2010, PineWild is being governed by the
Restated Conditions,
Covenants and Restrictions (CC&Rs). These CC&Rs are in
compliance with Nevada state law and address new developments
in PineWild. The vote was 97 for and 7 against, surpassing the
required 60% (81) votes. The driving forces were Chairman Bill Cobb
and Sam McMullen, supported by members Ray Weigle, Lex Adams,
myself, and other members. On page 3 is my 29-year historical
summary of the CC&R approval process entitled “My 29-Year CC&R
Odyssey”.
Contact me, your
Board, Committee Chairpersons or our office with ideas, questions,
comments or concerns.
Sincerely Yours,
John Kurylo

My 29-Year CC&R Odyssey
Approval of the
Restated CC&Rs was once-in-a-life-time accomplishment having its
roots in the work of many talented individuals since the CC&R’s
initial adoption in 1974. I will briefly recount the contributions
of several individuals, based on documents in my historical CC&R
file, beginning in 1982. If I have left out other participants and
important contributions, I apologize. Please note how the
identification of many of the CC&R amendments developed from the
issues, concerns and special developments within PineWild throughout
the 29 years.
In 1982 John
Bartko reviewed the CC&Rs citing the time-share concept, the need
for a separate reserve fund with a long-term plan, and unanticipated
problems with paragraph 20 requiring 75% approval of all members for
amendments. In 1985 Robert Chester wrote an opinion on the
contradictions in CC&Rs and their 1978 amendment between equal and
unequal dues. In 1988 Mark Leonardo, an attorney, offered (at
$225/hr) to amend the CC&Rs to address enforcement of liens and the
power to levy larger fines and other remedies. In 1989 Lester
Berkson, our attorney, proposed language to deal with the Class A
and B membership and mentions “with the advent of the TRPA, the
likelihood of annexation is very remote.” In 1990, under the
direction of President Chuck Neff and CC&R Chairman John Kurylo,
Lester Berkson wrote the paragraph 20 amendment changing the
required approval from 75% (102 votes) to 60% (81 votes). It passed.
I will live in perpetuity as the Attorney-in-Fact!
In 1992 Lester
Berkson advised the CC&R committee on how to best proceed with a
rewrite – delete baggage, develop a list of what is not covered, add
catch alls to cover the future, etc. In 1994 Bob Havranek wrote an
opinion on equal assessments for re-roofing within “projects”.
Interesting enough, he also addressed the process for funding the
Garage/Tennis-Court project funded by the sale of individual parking
spots. Ray Weigle and I actively supported roof and siding capital
assessments based on each unit’s area. Harold Petersen spoke
eloquently and with his special presence that PineWild is a
harmonious Community in which all are equal – the position finally
and correctly adopted. In 1994, Robert Havranek motioned that the
CC&Rs be “amended to address areas of omission and ambiguity”,
update areas “to more satisfactorily address the concerns” of unit
owners and to not “delete obsolete language”! He submitted
amendments on Regular and Special assessments. In 1994, President
Chuck Neff asked Wayne Bruce to form a Buoy Committee to address
collection of in-arrears dues, financing, management of the buoy
field on behalf of the buoy owners and standards. A buoy field
amendment was recommended. In 1994, Irwin Krauss wrote “indeed good
news that the
In 1995 the
committee presented amendment recommendations. Unfortunately several
Board members felt the current CC&Rs were fine and the amendment
process was too complicated and expensive. At this time the garage
project was underway. The committee under Bob Havranek kept up its
efforts. John Kurylo and Ray Weigle were active during this period.
After Bob Havranek sold his unit, Sam McMullen became chairman. In
2000, the committee again presented to the Board the most important
items in the CC&Rs that should be amended. Unfortunately our
recommendations were again dismissed. The amendment process
stagnated after that. The nonconformity of the CC&Rs with recent
legislation increased with time. Responsibility for recent
developments within PineWild needed to be formalized. Issues needed
to be addressed. Lex Adams provided much input to the committee at
this time. My list of amendments grew to 38.
In 2007, Bill
Cobb and Sam McMullen co-chaired the CC&R Committee. And the rest is
history. Bill brought on Gayle Kern, an attorney representing
common-interest communities, to work on the CC&Rs. Two years later,
after many, many hours of selfless, exhausting work and meetings,
the committee chaired by Bill Cobb obtained the membership
ratification of the Restated CC&Rs. This, as the history above
shows, is a once-in-a-life-time event!
Outstanding
accomplishment Bill, Sam, Ray and Lex and all those who contributed!
