REPORT OF THE EEEHA AD HOC COMMITTEE ON
FORMING A CITY-APPROVED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION

Submitted By:
Guy Borders, Joana Diamos, Elaine Hegstrom, Brad Rollings, John Rupley


		RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

1. Persuade EEE residents to consult with board members who have
knowledge of the neighborhood and of the possible impact of a
remodeling or renovation project.  If remodeling or renovating,
to consult at an early stage in planning, before submission of plans
to DSD.  If living next to a home being remodeled or renovated,
to consult when first apprised of the project by the neighbor or by
notice from DSD.

To this end: send a letter to EEE residents once each year encouraging
consultation by those participating in a building project with the
EEEHA board, include this letter in the welcome package, insert a
paragraph encouraging consultation in each newsletter, and add
contact information to the neighborhood directory.


2. Engage a contractor who will assemble in a timely way information
on requests to the city for building permits, variances and rezonings,
liquor licenses, etc., for the area included within and adjacent
to EEE.


		OPTIONS CONSIDERED BUT NOT RECOMMENDED:

1. Revision of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of EEEHA
to accord with the guidelines for a city-approved neighborhood
association, then registration of the restructured association with
the city.

The committee was unable to recommend this action primarily because
of concerns about privacy, i.e., publication of information about
individuals and about association affairs.


2. Establishment of a city-approved neighborhood association,
registered with the city, to function in parallel with the existing
homeowners association (EEEHA).

The committee was unable to recommend this action because of concerns
about privacy and as importantly, concern about having two independent
associations with essentially identical aims, obligations, and
constituency.


		RECOMMENDED FOR DEFERRED CONSIDERATION:

1. Establishment of a city-approved coalition.

2. Establishment of an NPZ overlay for this neighborhood.
