When interpretations decrease the value of a property, then those applying those interpretations need to be assessed that decrease in value.
This appears to be a case where every lot was approved to be buildable, then, as do-gooders decided otherwise, the value of some lots would approach zero. That is not the fault of the land owner. It is the fault of the do-gooder. Surely there are enough intelligent people in the Great State of Misery to get this overturned.

Woo Hoo!! Occasionally the PTB & the "process" will get it right. After all, private property is private property.
Long process, though, for something that should be obvious to even the most casual observer. One more appeal to go.
Good to see Don Borman is still kicking. He needs to come back and post here.
"which would allow measuring the minimum lot width from the actual building line, instead of the setback line."
Are they not the same line?
What is the "actual building line"?
