After more

than a year, the Pinots of Senoia finally received a variance for an accessory

building at their home.

The City Council

voted unanimously to allow the Pinots to continue with their accesory

building, despite it slighly encroaching on the buffer requirements for

the side yard.

Glenda Pinot

told the City Council that she had worked with former city adnministrator

Leonard Thomposn last year on making sure all the requirements were met.

When the new

administration took office earlier this year, the Pinots were cited for

a violation.

Pinot said

she had not checked with the new administration before pouring the foundation

for the building.

"I just

believed we had complied with everything," she said.

Sue McDaniel,

who lives near the Pinots, said she had no problem with granting the variance.

Before the

City Council voted, Councilman Bob Hannah issued a word of warning to

the Pinots and other residents in the community.

"I just

wished you would have gotten it in writing," he said.
