ughhhh +1 on this. Going to the doc today.

Great book. Perception is reality. Perception: A bank is financially shaken. Consequence: People worry and begin to withdraw their money. Result: Pretty soon the bank IS financially shaken. /Sneakers (a great movie you must see)

I wish I could say. I took an honest look at ourselves and can't think of anything. We are extremely quiet and have been on great terms with them (even exchanging gifts with our daughter). They have been there since 2002 and the city is saying the pad went in during 2003. HOW does the city know WHEN it went in if they have no record of it? hmmm...

Thanks guys I will make some more calls Monday and get this wrapped up.

I will check them out. I don't have a bearing press which I believe I need to do the job.

Can anyone recommend a shop for a quote? Called German Autowerks and their quote was decent but wanted to shop around first. '01 A6 Avant Quattro

I like this. :masturboy: Yea why does EVERYone agree with that, except the city? With the neighbors? It really isn't an issue with them at this point, they just reported it. Now the city has taken action. Genius, actually. We might have an avenue to pursue, haha.

So true. Yes there are, but you have to get a permit as they are not allowed (from what the city keeps telling me). You nailed it. And yep I am going to do whatever I can. I honestly don't know. We are extremely quiet (no dog or anything) and have been on good terms with them for the 3 years we have lived there. This was out of no where. I will definitely be doing research. :gabe:

Just get a certificate first! Have reasoning behind why you need one. My violation is 3305.01. There was supposedly never a certificate of zoning clearance submitted. However as they city explained, you cannot have a pad extending past a garage anyway. It is about a 50/50 chance of them approving it. My appeal will be that there WAS one filed but it was mishandled. 3305.01 - Certificate of zoning clearance. A certificate of zoning clearance is required and shall be obtained from the Director prior to the construction or alteration of any building or structure; the establishment, change, or modification in the use of any building, structure or land; or the grading, excavating or filling of land. Further, no person shall maintain or permit the continuation of any use unless and until a certificate of zoning clearance has first been issued for said use. Yep, this will be my next step if in the end I have to pay for removal. I am going to do everything in my power to not have to pay anything out of pocket. If this thread can help someone avoiding this situation in the future then that the least I can hope for. :fuuuu:

Thank you I will keep that in mind. City of Columbus. We don't have an HOA.

Apparently not suppose to have an extra pad next to the driveway.

I live in Gahanna. Westerville Schools. Columbus Taxes. I bought my house 3 years ago and it has a cement parking pad to the left of the driveway. It was apparently built in 2003 two or three owners ago. There was apparently no paperwork filed (if it was, it was lost or mis-handled by the city). Now, after nearly a DECADE of it being there, the neighbors (closest to the pad) filed a complaint about it. The city called me, we talked about it and he recommended I remove it. I told them I would wait to get official notice and now I have -- A coding violation. I submitted an appeal yesterday and I go before the board January 24th. Now at the appeal/board hearing it is to decide if there is indeed a violation, which technically I guess there is. So I am guessing I will be denied, then I will appeal the denial. After all that I will have to file for a variance which cost $300. Not a big deal because it will probably be cheaper than removing the pad. So, my question comes down to -- who has dealt with something like this before and what is a good approach to the appeal or the variance hearings? I have solid reasons for the variance request as to why I should have the pad there, but any other insight is helpful. Thanks CR!

Jesus. Sounds like the news would want to talk with you.

Yep, routing traffic from 161 through my neighborhood was just great. Never have seen 4 semis in a row creeping through before. On the other-hand. Any up for some pillsbury rolls on 270? Get on at Morse going south and you have blank freeway ahead of you. or we should do this: http://i.imgur.com/cAuBL.jpg

damn

Thanks for the opportunity Wagner. Looking forward to doing the complete interior and going after some of those deeper defects in the paint. We will definitely have to do a full gallery come spring, but in the meantime here are a few shots. The red really glossed & brightened up nicely:

+1 for a wagon.

imagine how ballin' that was back in the 70's.

I ordered black. But that may be because I am straight. :gabe:

Oh yea also -- can a mod clean up this thread?

AT&T is working with Apple to update the network indicator for AT&T's iPhone 4S to read "4G". This will happen with an iOS release from Apple. Since iPhone 4S is an HSPA+ device, our customers will get 4G speeds from day one. Only AT&T has this unique network advantage. This will quiet the whiners hopefully!

Another Friday bump! In Gahanna all weekend.

You can try a chemical softener and then claybaring. If that doesn't work you may need to go with 8k --> 12k sandpaper, then a polish. Just be careful.

Why can't the rulebook just be posted onlilne? lol.

It's obvious people are associating the "5" with a redesign and maybe a slightly larger screen. We all realize they could have called it the 5. If they did those people would still hold off or get something else.
