[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no way that massive addition would meet building codes even if it could meet setback requirements. [/quote]

It literally did as designed. [/quote]

It literally was not built according to the approved plans or following building codes for wind bracing.

Sooo...[/quote]

The approved plan was equally ugly and something all the neighbors would hate just as much! So yes, that addition COULD have met all the relevant codes.[/quote]

But it didn't meet the codes as built.

Literally. [/quote]

But the question is whether the design could meet the building codes without the setback violation. It definitely could. Indeed, it did.[/quote]

No.

It "definitely " and "literally" did not.

It was not built to the approved plans.

You could set that thing in a 5 acre lot by itself with no neighbors, and as built it did not meet building codes and did not follow the approved plans, setback or not.[/quote]

This is just wrong. The written plans complied. That’s why it was approved. [/quote]

You two are arguing about different things. Both of you are correct, but you are not saying the same things.

Person 1 - states the written plans complied with county zoning  and were approved. This is true, but note the HO had an error in the plans he submitted to the county, and was subsequently approved.

Person 2 - states while plans were approved, the HO did not BUILD to the approved plans. This is also true.[/quote]

+1
"Looked good on paper" doesn't cut it. [/quote]
