Based on the dialog at the annual meeting, the Fence Committee will address fencing location, material, size, and whether fencing will be allowed on lake lots. In order to ensure that the will of the majority of the lot owners is accomplished, all committee actions must first be approved by the Board and these actions are expected to be unbiased.

The committee will use the following process to solicit input from all owners prior to formally amending the Covenants:

1. Survey lake lot owners to determine if a majority desires to allow fencing on lake properties. If so, what limitations would they like to see imposed regarding location, material, and size.

2. Solicit input from all remaining lot owners.

3. Prepare proposed amendments and review with Board of Directors, Architectural Review Board, and attorney.

4. Hold a special meeting to discuss proposed covenant amendments — informational only, no vote will be taken.

5. Mail out letter with suggested Covenant wording and include well prepared "for/against" statements.

6. Go door to door and obtain petition signatures.

7. File amended Covenants with the County.
