14/ This is a fine question. I have scanned the entire code and not found such a reference. I asked the building department if this was the case. The building department said "no, we consider this barn a primary residence, so we use XYZ setback"https://twitter.com/PittLabs/status/1057687793428766721 …
15/ Two things: (a) the XYZ setback is not actually the correct setback for a primary residence; it's "X if possible, X-1 if that's the best you can do, X-2 if ... and AT LEAST Q" (b) the structure is not a primary residence; code discusses both residences and non residences
16/ Basically, the building guy - through ignorance or mistaken bon homie - decided to let neighbor build something at 30 foot front setback, 15 foot side setback, when the code mandates 50 & 30 respectively. There is NO textual support for his position.
17/ Someone is going to learn something about the Rule of Law in this conflict, and it's not going to be me. https://twitter.com/Stoner_68/status/1057688324356427776 …
18/ Agreed. Code also defines "primary residence" as having customer living facilities, including kitchen. This does not. Also: it specifically says that attached structures may not grow forward into the setback.https://twitter.com/PittLabs/status/1057688896698490881 …
19/ I'll pay $20,000 in lawyer fees before I pay a penny in dangeld. https://twitter.com/Stoner_68/status/1057689112671674372 …
20/ Wife mentioned in passing "I think that after a few years in this town you already have a reputation in town hall as a ... formidable ... opponent." Yes. Morlock brand.
21/ My favorite to date was grilling the police chief at a town meeting. "I see here that the 2 new officers will cost $50,000. Is that correct?" yes "...but they're hired in July, so the full year cost is $100,000, correct?" yes
22/ "...but that doesn't include uniforms, safety gear, firearms, lockers, or body cams. That raises the cost to $120,000, yes?" yes "but then we add insurance, so the cost is actually $140,000, right?" <sigh> yes
23/ "So your proposal says that the cost is $40,000, but all included, it's actually $140,000, is that correct?" yes "One last question. You said earlier that our town is the safest in the state. How much might these new officers improve our ranking?" <defeated silence>
