[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing the term "variance" is being used loosely. This seems to pretty clearly fit under the special permit process, no?[/quote]

Sure, but that process is (potentially) lengthy and invites feedback from nearby property owners. There are no guarantees. I had the approval of my impacted neighbor before I ever applied for my special permit and it still took months and was not guaranteed. [/quote]

It's not guaranteed per se, but there's a clear precedent that would be hard for them to ignore.[/quote]

Is there a clear precedent that has a similar number of neighbors objecting to the project? [/quote]

The objections aren't over the six inches, so they aren't really relevant.[/quote]
Except that it's doubtful a variance will be allowed/granted, given the weight of public opinion against this construction.

The county attorney will tell them they need to approve it, since they've approved all the other ones. There's no reasonable basis to reject this based on the ordinances in place.[/quote]
