1. Solar Panels: No discussion
2. Vegetable Gardens: Discussion on where gardens should be placed. Agreed that nearer the house rather than out in the middle of the yard is better aesthetics for neighbors in the back. Also, re-word the item about tools. Plan is to publish the policy in March/April and enforce in existing gardens. Perhaps allow side yard gardens if masked by landscaping
