PC members expressed some concerns about the storm water system not being reviewed or approved by the Drain Commission.

Concerns were also expressed about the rental units.
Motion was made by Osterhart to table this item until the Drain Commission approves the storm water system and show more detail on which HOA is responsible for what items and have such in the HOA docs. Supported by Suchecki and carried unanimously.
