COUNTY, CITY, SCHOOL DISTRICT, and THE IRVINE COMPANY
City of Irvine/WVA – River Rock Base Signs
Mr. Figeira reported that David Baab had written the city of Irvine’s sign guidelines with the intent that the percentage of river rock in the river rock base signs to be comprised of one hundred (100) percent river rock. The ordinance for Planning Area 15, which is Woodbridge, states that a sign base must consist of battered [tapered] gray river rock to match the river rock of the village entry signs. However, the city staff interpretation is the base does not have to be completely river rock; that it can be partially river rock. Mr. Figeira noted that he had discussed this issue with Eric Tolles, city of Irvine, and the city has reviewed their interpretation and will only allow one hundred (100) percent river rock signs.

· Woodbridge Self-Storage/Synagogue Sign Program
Mr. Chudy advised that Sanderson J. Ray Development (Walkie Ray), the developer of the project at 5000 Barranca Parkway, has agreed to delete the signage opposed by the WVA Architectural Committee and Board of Directors.

· IUSD Asset Management Plan – Letter to Bob Figeira

· Woodbridge Community Church Revisions
The Board took no action on this item.

ATTORNEY REPORT
Lease Telecommunications Cell Sites
The proposal for the Association entering into a cell phone antenna site lease on its properties is under review by The Irvine Company (TIC) and its attorney, Jeffrey Wallace. Mr. Hickey advised that TIC would probably assert their rights under deed restrictions by asking to share fifty (50) percent of any net income from any contract, as it would be perceived as a commercial use. In addition, Mr. Hickey stated it might be necessary for the Association to present any proposed long-term contract to the membership.

Mr. Mavity suggested Mr. Figeira contact the school district to determine if a similar clause specifying income sharing had been incorporated with the district’s contract with a wireless company and The Irvine Company. In addition, the Board authorized Mr. Figeira and Mr. Hickey to continue discussions with TIC to try to negotiate better terms.
A motion was made by Director Davis; seconded by Director Woodings, and unanimously passed by a 5/0 vote. It was,
RESOLVED, to authorize Mr. Hickey and Mr. Figeira to prepare a letter of interest to VelociTel for a wireless telecommunications site within Woodbridge.
Estimate of Costs to Amend WVA CC&R’s
The Board reviewed correspondence from Hickey & Petchul, LLP, of July 1, 2004 regarding their assessment of the costs to upgrade and amend the Woodbridge Declaration, which is over twenty-eight (28) years old. In particular, the recent issues regarding the Board’s authority over public utility easements and other private uses might be a cause for proposing amendments. In addition, Mr. Hickey noted that legislation frequently overrides association CC&R’s.
Vice President Fenner recommended this subject be continued to the August 4, 2004 agenda for further consideration.
