Mr. Carter guessed that it would have been sometime in the 70's or 80's. Ms. Lanier said the pool was there in 1983 when she moved into the neighborhood. Chair Hansen asked if the screen enclosure was already built since there wasn't a picture of it. Mr. Carter said it was and explained how it got installed before the permit was issued. He never thought the permit would be denied because he was not aware of the height restrictions. There was further discussion of how the enclosure looks. Mr. Carter had some picture on his phone that he showed several of the Board members. Ms.Durden told Chair Hansen that it is okay to show the pictures but they need to be sent to Director Askew for public record.

Ronald Pendleton, 1825 Live Oak Lane, said that he walks by the property several times a day and he is in favor of the variance. Chair Hansen closed the floor to public comment.
