The set backs for accessory dwellings are 1 foot.

There has to be a higher fire rating, but it is one foot.

1 foot from the property line, but you can't build a freestanding garage 1 foot from a neighbo's house. You could have a cluster of garages all 1 foot from the rear and side u property lines, and thus 2' from each other.

Makes me love my HOAs and their rules and by laws for what you can and can't do....although I've always wondered if HOAs do well in court when it comes to property disputes and residences.

I can't imagine this will be great for that guy's business. If he's that vindictive with his neighbors, can you imagine being a client? I wouldn't hire that guy in a million years.

Bet you couldn't hire him in a million years.

NP, and in the next couple of years, I'll be looking to renovate or build in the Del Ray area, and will not even consider this guy after reading about his petty and vindictive behavior. Whether I, or PP, can afford him or not-- there is no way this can be helpful for his business reputation. I hope it was worth it for him.

LOL. What kind of response is that? Are you 5?

If two people build 1 foot from the property line, that gives two feet of room. Can't that be some kind of safety issue?

Looks like he took his website down. He is still on Houzz though...

If I were the neighbor I'd set up a website documenting all of the nutty stuff he does. So potential clients who search on him will know to run away.

Can they sue the county/zoning board because this change (of his, that they allowed) is making their house unsellable?

Of course. That's why he is building his garage out of cinder block. In order to build that close to the property line, his structure has to have a higher fire rating. That's why he isn't building with wood.
Now the evil part, is that he is threatening the other couple with going to the county about their home - because it isn't properly fire rated.
The house that he built.
Please let that sink in for a moment.

That neighbor would be getting into lawsuit territory, here. Better to stay out of it and let it go.

OK - the neighbor can just sue the county/zoning board. They can pass on the indisputable facts about the nut job to me and I'll happily post it.

I generally hate the GoFundMe-ization of our culture, but I would absolutely contribute to such a cause.

the article points out that he moved his business to operate out of another state. New Jersey? Connecticut? something like that

You don't understand. You can't just make sh*t up about people. It doesn't work that way, without ramifications.

Where did you get "make shit up about people"? There are some documentable facts here that are worth sharing.
