Modular Home Builder Takes Appeal to Next Level
An appeal of a "stop work" order issued to a builder who was constructing two houses in a Gainesville subdivision is going to the Georgia Court of Appeals.
Gainesville (PRWEB) September 29, 2006 -- An appeal of a "stop work" order issued to a builder who was constructing two houses in a Gainesville subdivision is going to the Georgia Court of Appeals.
A superior court judge agreed with the city last month that the industrialized homes aren't allowed under the zoning in Water's Edge Subdivision.
"Everything we've done with this particular home in this neighborhood is within state guidelines and within my constitutional rights, Building Systems Network CEO Grant Smereczynsky said.
Company officials want to finish one house and put up another. Some residents of the subdivision have been opposed to the homes, fearing a decrease in property values.
Smereczynsky said they had hoped to work it out in superior court.
"We went to court under the pretenses that we were going to get this all worked out and what happened was, that didn't happen," Smereczynsky said.
He said the case has drawn a rally from others involved in his industry from Georgia and around the country. Smereczynsky also said he has support from the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
Case numbers is as follows 1. 05-cv-1251-b 2.a06a1638 3.2:06cv105-wco (n.d.ga)
The Georgia Law in question is General Asembly (O.C.G.A. 8-2-2 part 1)
