[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it looks like there’s a setback issue but also an unresolved issue on the height (from August).  I have a very hard time believing there was an architect, engineer or even a contractor involved in this monstrosity. [/quote]

I watched the interview. Construction was paused because the building violates set back by 6 inches in the rear corner. Owner says he built exactly to the approved plan and seems very confident he will be granted a variance. How likely is that? Who is ultimately responsible?[/quote]

This is super petty.

If you look at the complaining neighbors house they have a side that is equally long, just not as high.  I don't see the issue with it and it was probably done becuase it was cheaper.[/quote]

I'm no expert which is why I asked, but I have read someone say that as soon as new slab was poured, the previous setback guidelines no longer apply. The current regulations say the set back depends on the height. For a building this height it should be 20 something foot setback instead of 8.5. It doesn't have anything do with the length.
