12/ I'm not 100% sure I heard that correctly, so I'll wait for the letter to arrive, but I think he is (YET AGAIN) misreading the clear text of the policy, and instead of scheduling a meeting in accordance with the law, packing this issue into a meeting 2 months out. sigh

13/ Look, I'm not a rocket surgeon. ...and that's cool, because these laws are not Rocket Surgeon Law. They're pretty darned simple. You just sit down and READ THEM. ...and yet this dude has made mistakes every single time his eyes brush over the legal code. Grrr.

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.

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 …

Jules Pitt @PittLabsReplying to @MorlockPYeah, they sound confused. If it's not connected to the primary residence, how can it be a primary residence? Unless you are allowed to build as many houses as you want on property that has the room for the (full) setbacks, which is pretty rare from what I've seen.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -

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>
