·  In putting up a small shed, is a building permit required? If I want to put the small shed right up against a fense, what special approval do I need to get?

·  I am independant consultant for Cookie Lee Jewelry. I was wondering if you would consider me setting up a booth for a day. I have done this for several gyms and offices around the valley. I would also love to give back to the recreation center by giving 25% of my profit. Or if anyone would be interested in doing a fundraiser, I can also help out with that. I appreciate your consideration of my request. Brooke Baker907-5921www.cookielee.biz/brookebaker
