It now seems, after two position adjustments already, the County has settled on the perfect justification for their actions. "They were only enforcing the Fire Code". This is a very plausible position to establish as we all know how potentially dangerous it could be should one be unfortunate enough to get caught under an awning during a fire. One would only have FOUR unimpeded avenues of escape to traverse, at most, twenty feet.
This entire situation would be funny if it weren't so obviously ridiculous. "If you give them an inch, they will take a mile" seems to apply to more than your four year old.

And what does the fire code say. I can see inspecting large revival tents etc. must be some size requirement mentioned in the NFPA code. I can see them inspecting a funeral tent and Dial-Murray paying 50 bucks for a permit.
Someone needs to inform the Boy/Girl Scouts the County wants 50 bucks per tent for those weekend camp outs.
Unfortunately, this is another exammple of our cancerous leader, Dan Davis, spreading his philosophy of gaining more revenue without with or without Council approval to ALL areas of county government!! Doesn't matter whether there is an ordinance, he will arbitrarily make a policy requiring employees to enforce! I can hardly wait to see the new budget cycle formulation!
And the council meeting will be aired WHEN!!!!
We have received several calls asking the same question.
