130-foot cell tower planned next to Secret Woods
T-Mobile wants to erect a 130-foot cell phone tower at 7357 Goodnow Road.   The tower would be visible from many Secret Woods properties, including the neighborhood pool.  A petition drive has been launched to try to block the tower.  At the annual meeting it was urged that each Secret Woods homeowner contact City Councilwoman Suzanne Jenkins and voice their objection.  Jenkins' phone number is 630-1394.  Her e-mail address is SuzanneJ@coj.net.

Should sheds be allowed in Secret Woods?

A resident recently requested permission to put in a new back yard shed.  The board denied the request based on our neighborhood covenants.  What do you think?  Should Secret Woods allow back yard sheds?  To voice your opinion vote in our informal poll.  To change the covenants 75% of all property owners would have to vote to approve such an amendment.  In other news out of the May 10 board meeting a plan to renovate the pool was approved as well as a resident's request to add a bonus room.   To read the May minutes click here.
