meeting would be the beginning phase. Current defects were discussed, including the dining
room being too hot, Vintage Pointe tenants using the game room /library as a passage and the
practice being disruptive, parking being a problem, and the need for small private rooms. Ideas
for expansion were also discussed, including the possibility of adding a second floor, an "L-
shaped" addition, an exercise room, a generator for backup power, a dining room expansion,
