They did that less than 2 miles from my house. A guy owned a house right across the street from the township building no less. He apllied for a permit for a shed. They denied it because the back of his property was a "wetland" and no building was allowed. A couple years later a developer wanted to build a mall and needed this guys 1 acre. He didn't want to sell, so the township condemed his house and he was out.
It was a nice house, not some dump either. He couldn't build a shed, but they could build a mall.
Someone should have woke up with a horse's head in their bed over that.
