love thy neighbor

Dispute Between Neighbors -
A city councilman in Utah , Mark Easton, had a beautiful view of the east mountains, until a new neighbor purchased the lot below his house and built a new home.

The new home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances would allow, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the city to make sure they enforced the lower roof line ordinance.

The new neighbor had to drop the roof line, at great expense.

Recently, Mark Easton called the city, and informed them that his new neighbor had installed some vents on the side of his home.  Mark didn't like the look of these vents and asked the city to investigate.

According to Snopes it is true. There was a follow on case and I don't know how it turned out.

dropping the roof line 18" still wasn't going to get his view back.

That's funny.

You can't control what others do - if he was that obsessed with the view, he should've bought the empty lot to keep it the way he liked it. Otherwise, too frakin' bad!

Thats what happens when you live/build in a neighborhood that has zoning. We are fortunate/unfortunate that our subdivision is not zoned. It has worked out fine so far, and I am a firm believer in being able to do with your land as you please, but that is just me. I do know that in highly populated areas, I guess there has to be zoning...that is one of the big reasons we live in Alaska.

lol

Think they'll make him take the vents down??? LOL Got to love our neighbors even our golo neighbors.....Have a good evening.

I've seen this before, years ago, and wonder if it is for real? Snopes/factorfiction...someone know someone there?

LOL!! Good for the neighbor...

LOL sometimes the best neighbor is a fence.
