THE ROOF IS ON FIRE!

  Upon review of the facts brought forth during the last three meetings regarding the violations on lot 13, the architectural committee makes the following recommendations:

1. Judy Sides should resign from the board. She was president during this time period and voted to approve the flat roof and the a/c unit on Darren Mowrey’s house addition. Mrs. Sides should have been familiar with the CC&R’s which forbid any such construction on any home in Sierra Ridge. As a board member, she should of never approved the construction and Mr. Mowrey would not be facing legal issues.

2. Darren Mowrey should resign from the board. It is a conflict of interest to have such a blatant violation while serving on the board. Mr. Mowrey does not deserve any special privileges. He knowingly and willingly built the roof and knew it was in the wrong. The rules are the same for all homeowners.

3. Jomar’s contract with Sierra Ridge HOA should be terminated. When questioned about the violations, our property manager, Kate Parlette, stated that the inspector was not able to see the roof being built because the construction was on the back of the house and not visible from the street. All requests for new construction has to go through Jomar and then taken to the board for approval. The flat roof at 11051 E. Sunnyside Drive took a minimum of three months to build, so I guess that the inspector was looking for three inch weeds on other homeowner’s front yards so that they could fine them. I took a drive down 110th Way going south and stopped on the corner of 110th Way and Sunnyside Drive, and you can clearly see the flat roof from that vantage point. I wonder how many times Jomar has looked the other way to favor board members. The advice and opinions given by Jomar as off track on what is for the good of the homeowner’s of Sierra Ridge. If nothing is done about these violations, it is going to be hard to stop another homeowner from also violating the CC&R’s. For example, since Mr. Mowrey built a flat roof and put an a/c unit on top, why can’t another homeowner paint their house green? This will result in the property values declining.
