Resident told notarized affidavit could avoid zoning hearing after permit denial

Resident Ryan Bentzel of 195 Pickett Road raised a building-permit denial related to habitable space in a second structure on his property, saying the space is for his personal use. Solicitor Sharon Myers told him that "if a notarized affidavit is done stating this use is not for a second dwelling, only personal use and recorded at the York County Court House, no Zoning Hearing would be needed." The transcript records that advice as the remedy suggested to avoid a zoning hearing requirement.
