Reports from Committees:

**ACC (Mark Oswald, Kris Hare)

Kris Hare brought up the subject of non conforming sheds that were spotted in some homeowner’s backyard, thus making it very difficult to enforce the covenants on what is and is not accepted when it comes to such structures.  The request from a homeowner who wants to install a shed in his backyard was also discussed.  It was decided that the CCR’s would have to be reviewed and the lawyer possibly contacted prior to making a decision.

**Landscape Committee (Tim Roberts)

We received 2 more quotes for the fence repair on the North pond.  Letters were sent out since last meeting and homeowners have until April 16th to make the appropriate corrections.  Before making a decision, Mark will get in touch with the two favorite contractors and see which one will actually take care of removing all the debris and cut the trees.  The final decision should be made within 2 weeks.

A biologist was hired to track Steelhead Salmon in Joe’s Creek.   The next Public Hearing will be held on Friday March 21^st at the City of Tacoma Council Chambers.  Location of the meeting: 747 Market Street, Ste 1200, 8:00am-5:00pm.
