What a conglomerated red tape nightmare.

My question is there has to be people that buy these things there and put them up.

Something doesn't smell right to me almost like a wild goose chase down red tape lane.

There are quite a few greenhouses around, but they are either:
1. Smaller then 120 SQFT, negating the bldg permit requirement
2. Built on land not zoned as residential
3. Outside the reach of the city's jurisdiction

Since my structure is 440 SQFT, built on land zoned as AGR-Residential (the designation for an acreage), and outside city limits, yet still within a 3 mile "zone of influence" I have no other choice.

If my lot was 0.01 acres smaller in size, I would really be SOL since additional structures greater then 120 SQFT are not allowed on smaller lots.

I finalized my plans last night and sent them to the engineer for review...fingers crossed it meets the design criteria.

Ended up having to put hoop sections 3 ft. on center, upgrade to all 1-5/8" OD 14 gauge material, use 3 ft. deep concrete footers for each hoop section and ground posts have to be 1-7/8" OD 14 gauge. Each hoop is also braced out the wazoo.
