First of all my disclaimer for those who need to 'go there' in support of all handicapped people no matter what and slamming anyone who dare ask questions without being PC.
My BL is paralyzed from the waist down.
I know and hear every day about the rights of handicapped people. He also headed up the entire 'accessible' department at Ohio State and sits on the board somewhere for the entire US on accessibility . And HE doesn't like when people use their disability where not intended to obtain special rights. That said.
Variance, setbacks, whether an RV is allowed, etc. When you read this article they choose to USE/ADD the disabled card to substantiate their case. Albiet as mentioned the resulting court decision was based on whether a judge could do that not what they were requesting. But they still had the need to stick it in there.
A handicapped person does not 'need' an RV to be able to travel in. Would it be a nice perk? Sure but it is not a 'required' daily living need.
Statement about 'needing' a generator? Insurance companies/health care provisions, if it is a matter of life and death will authorize a house generator or battery operated back up for any device they must have to support life....they most certainly would not ever approve an RV. :R
And lastly IMHO, JMHO If the family 'wanted' to travel in an RV with the family including their handicapped family member you'd THINK they would know the set backs and requirements of having an RV on their property and had bought the length of RV that fit the requirements.
Instead of buying what they 'wanted' and then resorting to 'using' their handicapped family member as a reason to get around the rules.
