They trust that no precedent has been set by this 35 case. She stated that they found in the affirmative for the three 36 conditions before approving the Special Use. They concur with the 37 Planning Staff recommendation with the eight conditions, as amende 38 Commissioner Hartwell informed the Board that after a buildin 39 permit was issued the staff at the school discovered that they had 40 gotten a permit for the deck. A representative of the school went 41 the Planning Department to get a permit. At that point, it was 42 mentioned that the permit had been revoked.
