Stop in for a cup of coffee

Funny that you mention ordinances. The neighbor with the dogs had a legitimate complaint when I lit a fire during a modified burn ban. My fire was in a pit (4 foot), and the ban allowed 3 foot diameter fires. I however did not have water yet on the property so I get it. Well, since then this neighbor has built 4 commercial grade greenhouses, he has 20 acres. We are zone rural residential. He also, besides his dogs, is telling me he wants to build his shop closer to the fence than the HOA allows (he's grandfathered in with his house at 15 feet, but the rules are 30). He saw them spraying the lines for my shop, was at 15 feet (builder thought it was 5 feet per county guidelines- didn't look at the HOA agreement I sent him). Anyway, he asked for landscaping if I was going to build that close to the fence and HE was going to put his new shop in line with his house. We moved our shop our to 30 feet, and it had to shift towards the road for garage driveway/shop driveway conflict, now we look at his back deck when we come out of our garage door which is our usual entrance. Be careful what you ask for.
