I'd like to suggest that I write another letter/statement (similar to the last below), and again remaining gently assertive to your Board Chairman citing the history, rationale for intent, and what led to current status of the pergola as it now stands. This will give your voting Board members a factual perspective on your own construction objectives, and offer some positive, general supporting testimony from our vantage point on the record. I will sign it along with my co-colleague, Sarah Drake, who is the architect of record for your home. Since I don't currently hold a Connecticut license as she does, I cannot testify in person at the hearing. But from what Bob tells me in his past conversations with his local surveyor on your home, this type of special permit should not be too difficult to secure. Therefore, I don't feel Sarah Drake's presence is necessary at the hearing at this time, especially with such a supporting letter on the record. BTW, I'm not going to charge you for this service as I feel I have a moral duty to help you and Ike anyway that I can in this situation
