Response from the President of
the Hunt Club Woods Homeowners Association to the Secretary and
Treasurer regarding the above mentioned e-mail, involving the
structures around Scuds Lake.
This letter serves as
notification of record for the Hunt Club Woods Home Owners Association,
that neither you nor anyone else representing themselves as
a Board Member has the authority or approval to begin
Demolition processes on the structures at Scuds Lake. This includes
placing deposits, obtaining permits, and using funds from the
Association and Capital Reserve accounts directly or indirectly related
to demolition or removal of any structure, specifically the gazebo and
pier.
The Village of Homer Glen
recognizes the gazebo to be an approved structure. An
issue exists regarding the pier and the path leading
to both structures.
The information that was mailed
to the homeowners along with a voting ballot was not reviewed,
approved, nor executed by the President of the Hunt Club Woods Home
Owners Association. The ballot did not contain the Association P.O. Box
number. Also, the return address had an incorrect P.O. Box number. The
correct number is 813, not 13 as referenced on the envelope. By
allowing only 6 days for return of ballots is an insufficient
amount of time for the home owners to make an informed decision.
The
information lacked specific data directly related to
cost and unknown dollar amounts.
Under these circumstances it
would be difficult at best to reach any conclusion regarding
the gazebo and pier. The results from the ballots have not
been disclosed and your recent attempt to obtain a demolition
permit leads me to believe that you have come up with your own
conclusion.
The Association must be
informed of the decisions being made in our neighborhood.
Until accurate information is
provided, the issue regarding the pier should be reconsidered
through means of a valid voting process.
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 3, 2007 from 7 PM not later than 9 PM at the Old Town Hall
located at 16057 Cedar Road, Lockport, Illinois 60441.

this letter is available on our web site at www.huntclubwoods.com
Respectfully Submitted, this
24th day of September 2007.
Lisa Mikolajczak
President
Hunt Club Woods Homeowners
Association
Lisa, we are in need of the site plan, that TJ had supplied to you, for the purpose of obtaining a permit for demolition. Please drop a copy of the site plan off to my house by Friday, September 21, 2007, so that we may move forward with the demolition of the structures. Thank you. Sue Vitello |
