This is a true story, it happened in Utah and was on the news. Here's the story. A city councilman, Mark Easton, lives in this neighborhood. He had a beautiful view of the east mountains, until a new neighbor purchased the lot below his house and built. Apparently, the new home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances would allow, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the city to make sure they enforced the lower roof line ordinance.

It is someones resposibility to be aware of the local rules. It would be easy for me to consider such a person unreasonble especially considering the vent. I especially think that vent shows how little regard that person has for the surrounding landscape. While it is easy to understand how folk with money expect and demand to have their way, it does not make it right or even reasonable. Lawrence |
