Big legal win for our Client!🎉
⚠️The Problem: Client was cited for a violation for expanding a preexisting non-conforming structure and changing the use from an accessory building to an accessory dwelling unit.
💥The Stakes: The City had an ordinance that stated that if a preexisting non-conforming use was expanded without approval, any expansion AND the preexisting use must be demolished.
🏛️The Battle: We filed a request for a variance, but the variance was denied. We filed an appeal of the variance denial with the circuit court.
🏆The Win: The matter was settled by a consent judgment that allowed the preexisting use to remain as well as interior improvements.
Hard work and persistence pay off! 💼⚖️
