In a recent government meeting, community members expressed strong concerns regarding the placement of a newly constructed house that they believe violates local setback regulations. The discussions highlighted discrepancies between the new house's location and the original structure, with claims that the new building is situated 17 feet closer to the road than its predecessor.

One resident pointed out that the new house, which is visually compared to a double-wide trailer, does not align with the previously established setbacks. The resident emphasized that the building permit process was not followed correctly, as the required certification from a licensed land surveyor was not obtained before foundation work commenced. This has led to frustrations among neighbors who feel that the construction was rushed and improperly managed.

Another resident, Bob Nickum, echoed these sentiments, stating that the house was built in the wrong location and urging for its removal. He noted that the new placement would leave the house only 5.5 feet from the southern fence line on a lot that is 129 feet wide, further violating setback rules. Nickum and other community members are advocating for the house to be torn down and relocated to comply with local regulations.

The matter is set to be discussed further in an upcoming hearing, where residents hope their concerns will be addressed and appropriate actions taken regarding the construction's compliance with zoning laws.
