fencing between the houses and the fairway. Slama said Medema will install
whatever the Board wants.

waiver options, various fencing concepts (3-board split -rail vs. solid fencing),
potential mature tree plantings, liability issues, etc., and either present a
proposal at the next meeting or conduct a telephone survey of members, if action
needs to be taken sooner.
