They understand the local rules, even contributed to them in a signficant way, this unique valley is much better off for their presence there. 6 one of a kind architecturally unique rolling huts vs 16 bigger and better RV's trailers--no contest. shaking the tree while meeting the letter and most of the spirit of local zoning is okay with me, especially when the local environment wins and a few of the set in stones observers miss the forest for the trees.

The site for the huts is a licensed campground. The campground has sixteen licensed RV sites. The owner chose not to deal with RV's and their need for a sewage dump site. There was a desire to retain the existing zoning designation and to minimize the visual effect on the landscape. Given the contrast between a brightly painted RV and the rusted hut structure, the owner chose the latter.

Of course, it's a good law and I support it. Lee… the mention of ‘beauty of side-stepping laws’ was a veiled attempt at tongue-in-cheek-humor. Of course, it’s a good law and I support it.
