Who does surveys in the area? I saw US Geological Survey Co in Milford in the yellow pages. Does the LA office recommend any one in particular? What is the sense of having bylaws that are not in compliance with the township? Sounds like a waste of time and money and added aggravation for the homeowner.

I'll check but if I remember correctly measurements are taken from exterior corner to corner excluding tipouts, bay windows, overhangs, etc. which makes the trailers 8 and a half feet wide. The twsp seems to be measuring the trailers the way a 12' wide home would be. Our bylaws may have been correct years ago but apparently not any more. The compliance officer needs to meet with the zoning board to find out what other changes have been made over the years and update our bylaws. You can't fight city hall.

When I questioned the compliance officer this past summer about the discrepancy between how the town measures and the LA bylaws, he said that it has ALWAYS been the town law and that he has brought it to the attention of the BOD and told them the bylaws must be updated. My problem wasn't what he was going by on the trailer (he did measure from the pull out), rather what he considered the property line.
