A message from the President of Hunt Club Woods Homeowners Association regarding the gazebo, pier, and walking path around Scuds Lake.

 

The Village of Homer Glen has recognized the gazebo to be an approved structure; therefore the gazebo does not need to be removed. The building department is requesting that we apply for a permit and provide a drawing or sketch showing how it was made including the concrete foundation with the application. They have verbally requested additional anchor bolts and up-lift connectors. Once the permit application is completed they will review it and inform us of the necessary improvements.

 

The pier must comply with the American Disabilities Act, along with the path leading up to both structures. Therefore, an application for a Special Use Permit is required. A topographical survey must accompany the application for permit which will act as a blueprint to be used by the Home Owners Association for accurate proposals. Upon review of the proposed costs, an informed decision will be made as to whether or not to move forward with the Special Use Permit application.

 

If the Home Owners Association decides that the improvement costs are too high proposals for removal of the pier can be considered. The path will remain as is, although it requires maintenance a cost that has already been agreed to by the Home Owners Association.

 

As President of the Hunt Club Woods Home Owners Association, I am calling a Special Meeting for the purpose of increasing the official number of persons serving on the Board and to openly discuss the status of the gazebo, pier, and recent vote.

The Association would benefit from an increase of 4 or 6 members to bring the total Board of Directors to 7 or 9, through an election of the voting members present at the Special Meeting.   

 

The Special Meeting of the Hunt Club Woods Home Owners Association will take place on Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007 from 7:00 PM not later than 9:00 PM, at the Old Town Hall located at 16057 Cedar Road, Lockport, Il. 60441.

 

There are many wonderful families who call Hunt Club Woods home, please consider this as an opportunity

to help bring our neighborhood together and improve the decision making process.
