Board accepts Hawksnest HOA letter into record after waiving 14‑day submission period
Summary
The Board waived the 14‑day evidentiary submission rule and allowed staff to read a May 26 Hawksnest HOA letter opposing the Schubach garage variance into the record. Staff noted the city does not enforce private deed restrictions.
Before deliberating the Schubach variance, the board voted to waive the 14‑day evidentiary submission period so staff could read into the record a May 26 letter from the Hawksnest Homeowners Association opposing the proposed garage addition.
The letter, read aloud by staff, said the proposed addition would "alter the visual look of the Hawks Nest neighborhood" and argued that deed restrictions and the HOA code of regulations prohibit the variance. Staff clarified the city "would not regulate any deed restrictions or anything that is private agreements between property owners in their HOA," noting that compliance with HOA covenants is a private matter. The board voted to accept the letter into evidence by waiving the usual submission period.
