Clarifications

Local building officials have asked for a clarification regarding last week's article about a garage constructed too close to a neighbor's house. The article said, "Years ago, a neighbor constructed a garage and put the back wall three feet from their building, which is closer than the town's building ordinance allows." Further on, it quotes a speaker saying the construction "happened over 15 years ago." The officials say a 1994 aerial photo shows the garage in place at that time.
