Hi, i don't think this has broken the news yet so I thought i'd share
this with you all.
I just learned about this on Thursday -- the homeowner called me about it.
Check out this document @

/It's a very important "check" (think "checks and balances" from back
when you took Civics/History) on the abuses of the current Provo City
zoning laws. I don't have time to outline all the abuses or at least
overreaches but you probably already know of at least some of them./
If you don't have much time, just read the Summary at the beginning and
the Conclusion at the end -- together it's less than 1 page long.
Here's a key excerpt:
*"The City may not exceed the minimum requirements of the state statute.
Moreover, strict compliance with ordinances unrelated to determining the
use of the property may not be required."
*_This is from the Lead Attorney for Utah's Office of Property Rights
Ombudsman -- see http://propertyrights.utah.gov/_

*This is some very good news! :)
Check out discussion/analysis on it later at our Facebook discussion

the summer! :)
