My question involves real estate located in the State of:
NEW JERSEY
I bought a house where the previous owner started (didn't cut curb) a "U" driveway. The zoning officer told me he intervened and placed an order to stop work (years ago).
I'd like to finish the driveway but the code says "Only one driveway depression shall be permitted for each buildable lot for each street frontage, so that corner lots can have one drieway depression located on each street frontage".
I mentioned to the zoning officer "can't i just pave or paver it cosmetically" however he said no and wasn't going to argue what a driveway is.
If the code doesn't say i can't pave up to the curb (cosmetically a U) but don't actually cut the curb, nor is there code saying i cannot do it can the city reject it if it meets code requireements? If it does, can i sue and have the city reimburse for attorney fees? What would be my options in this situation if rejected?
