Commissioner warns builders against proceeding before variance approval

At the Canoe Bend hearing, the chair pressed the agent and the builder about continuing construction after a slab inspection revealed a setback discrepancy. "What you're asking us to do is condone when you make a mistake and you find it, we are telling you and every other developer that's out there, that, oh, it's okay," the chair said, framing the vote as a precedent-setting concern.
