ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE REPORT

  1. Project Requests
    1. Margo Mooney sent a request to offer a preschool in her home. Her request stated she would like to have up to 12 children at a time, and offer both a morning and an afternoon class.

OLD BUSINESS

  1. Yard of Merit
    1. The program is going well. We have had some very nice yards this year.

  2. Rentals
    1. Guimont – No new action has been taken. The Guimonts did not follow through with the depositions they had scheduled with several neighbors.  Our next step would be to begin taking depositions of the Guimonts.

    3. Sharma – No new action.

NEW BUSINESS
