Entrance
Refurbishment Committee report:
Justin Carlo presented the committee with another proposal for the entrance from
Stone Art and Signs. The base of the triangle at the entrance would be
maintained and to top of the triangle would be dismantled. In place of the top
of the triangle would be a 8’ long and 4’ high stone (roughly 8"'’ wide”) which
would be etched with Driftwood Point, and a plaque on both side notating we are
a private community. The rough cost of this project would be in the $4,900.00
