"Possible" variances in zoning? As a county commissioner, I work with zoning issues all the time and it takes a pretty strong case with a specific reason for a variance to be approved. It's not as simple as waltzing in and saying you want a variance for this or that and having it approved.
We also work frequently with people who try all sorts of flaky schemes to try to sell their property for more money. The most recent, still on the table, is a lady who owns an unimproved 5 acres assessed at $38,000. She's trying to sell it, and can't get an offer close to that because of issues with the road past the property. So she wants the county to make some $150,000 worth of improvements to the road just so she can get a few more dollars for the property. Our zoning regulations clearly state that in that particular situation in order for someone to build on the property it would be the property owners responsibility to bring the road up to spec. In fact, the owner would have to bring the road up to spec at their expense before a building permit would be issued.
In this case, I predict the lady will try to sue the county, lose, and wind up deducting attorney's fees from the proceeds of the sale.
That attorney probably told a good story, but lawyers have their specialties. As a tax attorney he could be clueless about real estate law. Frankly, you could be sitting here five years from now trying to get a variance. I'd take what's on the table and run.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
