[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just watched the hearing.

It is annoying that the homeowner cried about how this huge addition is for his family but made zero - zero - comments about how it affects his neighbors.  Uncool.

Agree with the comments on how overturning the denial will lead to people doing whatever they want, then crying for relief later from the county.

All they'd have to do is claim they were "taken in by an unscrupulous contractor."  Due diligence should absolutely be the standard; otherwise, why have standards at all?

Also agree with the neighbors that this is a homeowner that repeatedly flouted zoning and permitting requirements in the past.  (They built additions/enclosed their garage without permits/inspections).  They also clearly understood things needed permits, having had started but not completed the processes at the time.

That’s contrary to how fraud works in Virginia. If you’re thrown off your guard by a fraudster’s false representation, they’re liable even if you could have discovered their fraud with research. Review Van Deusen v. Snead.[/quote]
