These are pictures of the needle pile amassed in Section 5. It is clear that homeowners are beginning to realize that Lot Certification means clearing pine needles from their lot. For those homeowners who have "contributed" to this needle pile, we say thanks. To all others, we urge you to rake and dispose of your needles. Remember that the Lot Certification volunteer lot inspectors will not approve any lot with significant accumulations of needles within the Primary Zone of a 30' radius from your residence.     

The volunteers have begun their lot inspections. We have 15 volunteers to tackle the some 600+ requests from homeowners for lot inspections. So be patient. Remember that your requests are being handled by a corps of "volunteers." We will hold another training class for additional inspectors on 15 May. 

As the completed inspections are returned by the inspector to the Lot Certification Office, you will be notified by letter of the results. 

The inspector's name and phone number will be in that letter.

Thank you all for support of this effort....and special thanks to the volunteers and Lot Certification Office staff.

Rodger Gabrielson

Chairman, Lot Certification Committee
