pinehaven planning board

The covenants established a board consisting of seven property owners to represent the property owners who adopted the covenants. Each director serves for four years and is elected at the annual meeting of all property owners in July. Directors may be re-elected by a vote of 75% of those attending the annual meeting. If a director is unable to complete his or her term, the board is authorized to designate a replacement director who will complete the term. One director will serve a two-year term as chairman; he or she becomes the point of contact for outside agencies and a spokesperson for the community. Also elected are secretary and treasurer positions.
