Have a resident who submitted plan for a screen porch.The roof of this particular porch does not have shingles. The ARB refused approval based on the CCR's stating that it is a building and rule states it must match house. The CCR's does not include porch in it's description, therefore there does not seem to be a reason for refusal. A meeting with the board and resident accomplished nothing. The 3 men on the board where very advisary,made personal comments to the resident about his demeanor and instead of offering to be helpful to approach the Board of Directors to see if they could all work together,they refused any further help. The resident produced pictures in the neighborhoods where these very same porches exist, installed by the same company. These 3 men agreed the porch was very nice, but they were stuck on the CCR's term of a building. A second meeting was arranged. In addition to the 3 ARB men, 2 Board of Director members were asked to attend, invited by the resident. The resident was barely acknowleded upon arriving. Once the meeting got underway, it was worse than the first time. Once again, a personal comment was made by one of the ARB members (same man as before).Very rude. When the resident calmly asked this man if he, the resident, had made some comment about him and his demeanor, the ARB man asked the resident if he would like to step outside. One other ARB man coughed every time the resident stated something. These 3 men were appointed by the Board President. What on earth can be done to change the members of this board. The CCR's does clearly state that the ARB should not be "Unreasonable" for any reasonable request. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
