January 2019: The Board of CHOA engaged an attorney to give an opinion as to the status of CHOA.  His opinion is that CHOA is a legal entity under the laws of the State of Washington and it does own the landscape easement established in September 1989.  Also, since the protective covenants for both divisions I and II do not provide for the establishment of a HOA, it is not binding on the lot owners of Clearidge.
