Default Some folks cheat

Are you sure the ARC approved plan what was the plan that was actually constructed. Our neighbors got ARC approval for a bird cage and then changed the plans before seeking approval from Sumter County. Sumter just rubber stamped the plans because they assumed that if ARC gave their approval it must be fine. They did not check to see that our neighbors changed the plan in between ARC and county approvals. When we contacted code compliance they said the could do nothing until the bird cage was finished and then they would measure it. Well it was finished and they came and measured it and it was noncompliant. Our neighbors were forced to rebuild the bird cage. Seemed a dumb way to handle the problem. They could have fixed it before they went to all the trouble of building it and then tearing it down and rebuilding. Our neighbors never got in any trouble. They were mad at us for catching them cheating.
