Other attorney made several arguments that helped my case.

What's the etiquette here? Do I tip him, or just make sure that Christmas bonus is nice?

Neighbor decided to make a statement.

UTTERLY DESTROYED his chance of ever getting a variance.

"I could have built the barn somewhere else within the legal setbacks, but then I would have either had to move my propane tank, or pay money to have the electric line moved"

Not really.

There's a 5 point test, other party has to win every single one of the five points. One is "hardship". Which has a definition. And "I'd have to move a 200 lb propane tank on a handtruck and that might take me 30 minutes"...whew lads. https://twitter.com/KJTwitty/status/1305899930897321984

Indeed. And as hard as the variance procedure is, if you violate a Cease & Desist, and build anyway, then you can't apply for a variance but for an equitable waiver of dimensional requirements, which is even harder. https://twitter.com/DJSchreffler/status/1305900286196813827
