Arch committee
Ed wanted to know who is on this committee as he wants to add solar shingles when he reroofs his home. Both Carla and Charlotte are planning solar panels.
Board determined there is no longer an appointed committee but there would be no objection to this type of upgrade as long as the panels/shingles do not go above the highest point of the roof.
