Hello,
I am trying to help out a dear friend who erected a greenhouse. When he bought it he was told that it did not need a permit because it was a temporary plastic/pipe style greenhouse. He since has learned that it is illegal because it does not meet setback requirements. He went in front of the zoning board and asked for a special permit and then a zoning permit and both were refused. I guess I really felt like it should've been approved for hardship reasons. The reason why they have a greenhouse is for health reasons. Both he and his wife were orphaned at young ages from parents getting very early cancer and they learned from Dana Farber Institute, Cancer this and that society that eating fresh vegetables is good for people prone to cancer. It appeared that the zoning board has made this type of greenhouse requiring to meet setback requirements the same as a principal structure even though it is not attached. Any ideas for this silly but painful to watch experience?
