Members Concerns/Other Business:
The committee discussed propane (LP) tank screening and noted that many owners have completed the screening. There was some discussion concerning what type of screening was preferred which included lattice fencing and natural screening. It was noted that some above ground propane tanks could not be fully screened as this could prevent access for maintenance and filling.
