thadius65 said:If anything like my area, I agree with many other recommendations. When you apply for appeal or variance, bring lots of examples and details of other near by homes. Then bring along detail drawings of what you are proposing (yours or builders, but easy to follow). Focus discussion on community uniformity and that your request is not having anything done that isn't in your immediate neighborhood. Again, be very nice, friendly through full process. It goes along way, especially since many board members are volunteers and work a full time job all day, to then go to a meeting such as this at night. I speak from experience as I am on the zoning board in my area and the last thing I need is someone getting angry for no reason.
Good luck!
thadius65 - thank you for your reply. The letter I received states that the appeal must be done in writing - do you think I could also request a meeting? Luckily, I'm not the type to "ruffle feathers" or to get angry over things that are out of my control, so that shouldn't be an issue.
