The existing law states that a minimum of one acre is mandatory for a structure.

The law needs to be amended to read a one-acre mandate per residential dwelling. Building and Grounds: The lighting was completed for the sidewalk paths. Sealing for the parking lot will be held off until next year. A discussion was held about the purchase of new boardroom chairs. The chairs will hold up to 400lbs. and will be stackable; Clm.
