 BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS

Discussion of outdoor wood burners was approached. A copy of “Offensive Smoke” ordinance was distributed to the board members. Members discussed a 50 foot clearance from neighboring buildings.

The committee made a motion to amend the Offensive Smoke Ordinance for outdoor wood burners by removing Section 6.01 C and inserting C to read – Such outdoor heaters or furnaces must be at least 50 foot away from any neighbor’s buildings. Addition of D to read – Requires that woodpiles be neatly stacked.
