George we all have too many hoops to jump through to do things in my opinion. All of this is a slow erosion of freedom. You have said you liked the results of the building zoning laws and such. You contend that it makes for a better looking neighborhood. The hoop you had to go through to build your pole barn are the results of these same zoning laws/rules.

I despise all of these type of rules. The reason being is that many of them make little to zero sense. An example of this would be the one you stated of needing an approved/inspected septic system to build a building that was NOT going to have anything hooked to said septic system.

An example of this on my farm is this. We put in a lagoon to catch the run off water out of the cattle yards. It only gets manure in it when we get BIG rains, the 4-5 inch type. IT holds 500,000 gallons. The drain out of the house septic system would have drained into this lagoon. This outlet is after the tank and leach field. Very little water and what water comes out is usually pretty clean. County raised cane about that draining into the lagoon. So we had to route a tile line around the lagoon so that the house septic runs into a grass water way that eventually runs into a small stream. This makes zero sense. The small amount of water out of the house septic would have be a drop in the total water volume in the lagoon. Also the run off out of the cattle yards is much dirtier than what comes out of the house septic system. To me it would have been better to catch this water in the lagoon and spread it back on the farm ground like the manure water.

Too many times the rules are made by people behind the scenes that have zero knowledge about what they are regulating. Plus many of them can never be found after they make the "rule" too. No one will own up to make the rule to start with. You will hear "that is how we do it" instead of a reason for the rule.

Like my Grand Father always said this stuff is all "creeping communism". The more urban the more communism.
