Since when did Alton PD start being part of the Alton Zoning Board?

I wonder if this was the same guy who tried to tell me, when I reported someone had damaged the side of my old Porsche that it was an old dent (was he an autobody expert or something? I had "before" photos!) and he wasn't going to write a report for an old accident!!

I'm not an expert but your wall should be a grandfathered variance. I can't imagine the new act requires everyone to move existing structures. It might do you good to talk with the maybe the town's assessor (Alton Planning Dept.). I'd go straight to an expert...
