Driveway setback, sneaky neighbor
My neighbor recently built what he claimed was a brick wall about 1 ft
from our property line. He then had a truck load of gravel added to the wall, in effect creating a parking pad off his driveway. He neglected to get a building permit or to contact zoning. I found out from zoning that there's a 5 ft setback on driveways. He promptly parked his trailer on his new driveway which is above our fence line (since his property sits on a small high above our property).The zoning board has since told him that he can't park on his new driveway since it hasn't been approved. I'm a little irritated at this neighbor for being so sneaky about the way that he put this driveway in. I think that his theory is to just do it and see if he gets caught. I'm assuming that he'll be applying for a zoning permit since that's his only option other than removing it. I don't know what happens at a zoning meeting since I've never been to one. Does it cost money? What questions should I ask. I hope someone can give me some advice on this. |
