Lowe's Breaks The Law

Jack Lennox recently picked up on a huge red flag when it came to Lowe's.

They were looking to extent the front of the store with a new addition and came to P&Z to file for permits.

When Jack started looking into the parking spaces at that location to make sure they did in fact have the proper amount of spaces he realized they were short and something was seriously wrong.

Turns out, Lowe's added a Garden Center and even roofed in a portion of this area without going to P&Z for permits to do so. Because a good portion of this was under roof, it took away from the parking spaces allocated for the proper zoning code and Jack picked up on it.

The questions I have are, how did Lowe's get away with building such a structure right on Rt. 13 and get away without having to file permits? Secondly, now that the City is aware they broke the law, HOW BIG IS THE FINE LOWE'S WILL RECEIVE?

You see Folks, we'd be fined for pulling such a thing and I'd demand Lowe's is treated far more severely than any one of us as they absolutely know better. Let's see what happens with this matter down the road. I want to see the fines.
