I started this building last May to use as a barn on the farm. I ran into a problem with the town , they said that I am zoned residential. After several months of red tape I have had the agricultural zoning reinstated. If this did not happen I could not build this type of building. The thing that is totally amazing to me is all four sides of my property are zoned ag. The explaination I was given is the lady who lived in the house was not farming, so someone changed it, no one knew who. That problem is out of the way.
Next was the building inspector; He wanted me to build to residential specifications. Talk about a catch 22. Well he became a non issue once the zoning was changed back to ag. The town took federal money to establish agricultural districts that resticted the size of lots to no less then five acres. I went to my local congreesman to resolve the roadblocks thar kept cropping up. The town wanted it both ways, and they were told to back off.
I lost a year on this job. But we are up and running now and it is going to be a beauty. This first picture is where it stood will I dealt with red tape.
