ICE
Oh Well
I watched the video....well not all of it. The attorneys presented well enough even if the city attorney was strident. I would agree that you should have known the scope and scale of the project early on. Not so much as to the height but certianly the square footage.
I don't see any advantage to winning the timeline battle. The war is about the illegality of the structure. This should be before a court of law. The facts of what happened are easy to discern and lead to an overwhelming conclusion that city staff committed fraud.
The "one lot" defense came out with such legitimacy and the official seal of the City yet there was no opportunity to contest that. The entire proceeding was one sided. It's a hoot that they recorded it to be presented in a court.
Were I the one to decide who's right or wrong I would listen intently to both sides. I would mull it over. then I would come to understand that the city staff devised a heretofore unheard of way of applying planning regulations. A method not founds In the annuls of planning lore. A set of rules that do not treat people equally. Patently unworkable. ........You have a renowned expert that says all of that.
Although the world is getting morally weak at the knees, I can't envision illegal construction allowed to continue because nobody complained on time.
