I`ll post this again.
And finally for those that missed the important part of the article.......THEY ONLY WANTED A 2 1/2 FOOT VARIANCE!!! you can have an RV next to your house it just has to be set back, but they were 2 1/2 feet too long. all they wanted was a simple variance to keep the RV at the house. just like other people in the subdivision that can keep theirs in the driveway.
This is copied from the article.
"The zoning ordnance requires a 5-foot setback. When parked on side of the Cronley home, the RV extended into that setback by about 2 ½ feet. Acting on some complains from neighbors, parish inspectors cited the Conleys in April 2012. The zoning board wouldn't let the family slide and denied its request for a variance."
Now considering all that is going on with the family (even if their son didn`t have any health issues) a 2 1/2 foot variance is such a small issue it never should`ve been questioned. And who is anyone to tell these people how they should care for their son?
I looked on Google Earth and found this subdivision. some of the houses look to have a lot of junk in the back yard. I would be more concerned with a couple boats and some cars parked in the yard than an RV within 2 1/2 feet of a setback!
HOA`s should all be banned!
