by Robert McGregor. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
Comment was made about using gutters on the houses and Mr. DeZurik said
that unless it was absolutely necessary, Mr. McGregor does not intend using
gutters because he felt they added very little to the aesthetics. If possible
they would prefer not to have gutters in the stipulation, but have the wordipg
in such a way that they would be open to other alternates. That would �c
appreciated.
Mr. Clark stated that the Association By -Laws will have to be apprpved
by the City Attorney. He believed there should be a statement whereby the

and 35 with drainage and grading, and the building permits note it thereon.
This may or may not be taken care of in the By -Laws of the AssociattQ4.
