I just found out that there is a 7 foot variance that prohibits us from doing anything except plant grass. That leaves us with 4 feet of "our" property. The door of the lanai opens into that area also.
We moved from a house with a beautiful back yard and this situation is very disappointing!
We don't want large traditional shrubs crowding our screens. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thank you!
BAMBOO!
