What are you supposed to do then? On one hand she's a spy and tattletale...and on the other hand, the Planning Commission relys on and encourages us to do our civic duty by gathering information when people plant, rent, or build illegally.<br /><br />I actually admire someone for having the gumption to care about the environment and what we're doing to it. Of course, I work at not do anything illegal, but if I did, I'd probably be paranoid of a community watchdog too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-62099082939730678792010-04-17T11:01:59.947-10:002010-04-17T11:01:59.947-10:00"It is difficult to say what is impossible, f..."It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow."<br />-- Robert H.

It never extended beyond the middle of the lot and was never near the beach. It was only to keep the grassy ground cover in the middle of the lot.<br />Chances are the natural rainfall on that side of the island, 30" plus takes care of the abundant growth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
