A brief discussion was held about a resident’s question regarding solar panels. It was acknowledged that the ACC should design the regulations and guidelines necessary to handle this type of situation and other energy-saving device questions that arise. Research and consultation with our attorney should be done to be sure that we come within the State laws.

GOOD OF THE ORDER:
Suzanne addressed the Board with a query from Bob Costanzo as to whether they believed it in the interest of the community for the Board to formulate a statement of opinion to the Super 70 Committee and/or the NC Dept. of Transportation signed by the Board on behalf of all of the residents in Taberna. After discussion, the members present did not believe that they have the expertise to make such opinion and suggestions regarding the Super 70 corridor changes.
