In a recent government meeting, a homeowner addressed the board regarding complications with a pool and screen enclosure project contracted through Pinnacle Pools. The homeowner explained that after receiving a variance approval for the pool placement—due to the unique positioning of their property—completion of the project took an extended year and a half. Despite the screen enclosure being installed, the homeowner faced challenges in obtaining a final inspection because the screen company indicated that the variance only applied to the pool, not the enclosure.
During the meeting, board member George Ritchie acknowledged the situation and confirmed that he had visited the homeowner's property, noting that the screen enclosure was already in place and did not obstruct neighbors' views. The homeowner reassured the board that both adjacent neighbors had been notified and had no objections to the installation.
After a brief discussion, board member Miss Millard proposed a motion to approve the variance for the screen enclosure, which was seconded by Dr. Bass. The board proceeded to discuss the necessary procedural steps, including addressing hardship questions related to the variance request.
The meeting highlighted the importance of clear communication between contractors and homeowners, as well as the board's role in facilitating resolutions to such issues. The board's approval of the variance will allow the homeowner to finalize the necessary inspections and complete the project.
