Attorney Lloyd advised that after some of the other <br />neighbors questioned the screening of the pergola, the Community <br />Design Committee did make some modifications to the pergola, <br />changing it from screening to louvers. <br />Commissioner Bird asked Attorney Vitunac what latitude the <br />Board has on this special exception, and Attorney Vitunac advised <br />that the Board can approve it with conditions designed to <br />ameliorate the major negative effects of it, if any.
