EXACTLY...and if you are going to DO a business like this...GET A PLACE that is properly zoned for it. You might not think it is an issue (because if you live there and own it, well you don't mind it), but the rest of the area is affected by your decision. I know there is plenty of be said for individual rights, HOWEVER, your rights end where my nose begins (the sentiment is that your rights and my rights are equal...you can't affect my right detrimentally).
My point is, we don't have the full scope of all the nuances of the situation. Several people here have certainly given some great advice and brought up many good points. In the end, the legal system will decide....and sometimes that means to the deteriment of some individual's right. You have to comply with the rules set up and in general, eyesores are that and they detrimentally affects others property values (that is a FACT).
I hope he takes the advice for a lawyer and that is gets settled amicably before he is fined into the ground.
