11:47:53 AM Board Discussion including Kate Dinwiddie, Tom Henesh and Jake Grimm.
11:55:03 AM Commissioner Vincent With the applicant being willing, and I think it's a reasonable change, then in section 12, under livestock and poultry I'd put period in line 5 after, "of each year" so, "Any lot may have up to two horses from July 15 to September 15." And then, you might find fault with this, I'm doing this on the fly, "If it's determined that overgrazing of any lot is occurring as the result of the horses, the number of horses that shall be allowed to reside on said lot shall be determined by a majority vote of the board of directors. (Tom Henesh correction.) Of the Home Owner's Association.
