Board Seeks Feedback for Revised Shed Rules

On Thursday, December 15th, the GHI Board accepted a final version of proposed rules changes for sheds at GHI, in the form of a replacement for section IX of the Member's Handbook. In general, it loosens the requirements for sheds.

Major changes from the current policy are:
B.2: A one-bedroom frame unit that has only a serviceside yard is allowed a shed in that yard; the neighbor's approval is not required for this.
C.2: Wood-framed and vinyl sheds are allowed up to 80 square feet, or even 100 square feet in a few cases, subject to the restriction of at most 8% of the yard area. There is no restriction on shed roof styles.
C.3: Sheds of up to 24 square feet (such as trash storage containers) can be of any material except metal.
C.4: Decorative elements such as cupolas and weathervanes are permitted without height limits.

The Board is requesting membership feedback until Wednesday, February 29, 2012.  Please forward all comments here http://ghi.4site.tv/user/50/contact, using subject line 'sheds'.
