The revisions for the building permit amendment have been APPROVED. Unfortunately there is not any detail on the website about what ended up being approved within the revisions. I do not believe though the homeowner is able to continue with any construction however since the zoning issue remains open and the stop work order references this issue needing to be resolved.[/quote]

The neighbors need to hire an attorney to sue over this approval. Definitely an arbitrary and capricious decision by the country and they would have standing to sue county.[/quote]

It really isn't in the neighbors' best interests to fight this. The addition will be build either way. How much is it worth in legal fees to force the homeowner to push back the wall 6-10 inches? And if the homeowner has to spend a hundred thousand dollars on that, they're going to need to cut costs elsewhere on non-critical elements. Those are going to be design elements impacting aesthetics, not structural elements.[/quote]

IMHO, there aren't $100,000 in aesthetic design elements in this structure. It's already a box with siding. You can't trim (ha ha) much else. [/quote]
