Results of tonight’s Board meeting regarding the deed restriction variance request

Tonight’s meeting was well-attended by several members of the neighborhood. All had the opportunity to listen to the Deed Restriction Committee’s case, as well as the affected homeowner. There were some very good discussions and questions raised regarding the situation. At the end of the meeting, the Board voted the following: 1 vote for granting the exception, 2 votes against the exemption and to uphold the deed restrictions, and 1 abstain. No majority from the Board. Next option for the homeowner is to appeal to the general neighborhood at our next General Meeting in August.
