The board provided Tara with some guidance on how to monitor the appearance of the neighborhood. The board instructed that trashcans should be kept adjacent to the house. The board asked Tara to send out letters to any homeowner who has a playset, visible from the street, in their yard which has not received architectural review consent. However the board noted that we do not expect Tara to go behind houses to seek out playsets, but should respond to any complaints from residents on such playsets.

The Board reviewed correspondence. The next board meeting was scheduled for April 18th. The meeting was adjourned at 11:00am
