Hah! Good one. An official with some sense and a sense of humour! G

As a side story, I once went through gyrations trying to get the permits to
build a stand alone carport, separated from the house. The rules were very
different from an "attatched" carport. Finally, the zoning and planning guy
said, "Just attach a one inch by 1/8" flatbar from the carport to the house,
and it will pass inspection as an "attatched" carport, and won't need all
this other stuff. Once the inspector signs off, take off the flat bar."

The flat bar was 18' long. The inspector was in and out in five minutes.

When you check permits, ask about an "attatched" carport rather than a free
standing one. Now you know how to attach it.
