lot of space in between and there’s a lot of trees and the safety issue is really not  
relevant is more a responsibility would be the property owner. He also suggested  
continuing the item for next month for them to talk about this problem and come to an  
agreement.  
James Evans asked the applicant if they could move to the next meeting.  
Larry Wright is concerned about the size of the structure and how much it would extend  
outside the existing pavers.

safety issues are a responsibility for the applicant to be worried about.  
Jim Hattaway asked the applicant if he could consider the idea of moving this item for  
the next meeting for him to talk to the HOA and come to the agreement an see what

or what agreement they can have over this situation.
