Well, OP here. Opinions vary from soup to nuts on this subject. I guess I have to get a grip on all this. No one likes change, and we feel that this variance hearing was snippy and nasty-so that adds to the bad feeling.
I suppose that neighbors have to get along. I wouldn't like to live next to someone with loud radios, screaming kids, tall grass, the crazy cat lady, trash in the yard, barking nonstop, etc. (just like a campground-only a little bigger). I GUESS that someone could possibly think an RV in the driveway, was undesirable. Moving over this issue is not warranted. Tearing up the yard to install a $$$ driveway would just be creating another eyesore, headache.
I guess I'll just lick my wounds and find storage. I appreciate all the responses.
