 Each member must keep their private property in only one plot and not exceed the physical dimensions of that plot. The only exception is for approved oversized property.
 Member property that is not stored safely or does not fit in the member’s plot is both dangerous and disrespectful and is considered abandoned (see 5.2.2).
