[StBernard] Deadlines

[Westley Annis]

Craig,

Thanks for your response.  I understand a little better now and am more
satisified that this will be ok in the long run and will be something that
is more do able. (If that's a word).

>I understand the concerns that you posted-  keep in mind that the doors

>only the front and the allowance of any clear material in the front 

>windows and doors can be of any solid material.  The other doors and 

>windows can be closed with other materials.  Also keep in mind that if 

>there are a few broken squares in a window and the majority is in tact- 

>don't replace it if you can't and just place something on it or just 

>clean out any jagged pieces.

>The cars and grass are definitely issues that are priorities and do

>Lastly, while I believe the push that the deadline creates is

>the 29th deadline before massive inspections are completed so it will 

>buy some people a bit more time.

>The redevelopment is part of the challenge that we all face- the only 

>people who really stand to be penalized are those who continue to show 

>no regard or response to their property needs.  If a homeowner is 

>making strides to comply I truly believe things will work out fine for
