trying to get a shed/carport built

[buellbrewer]

I'm trying to get a 32x28 monitor style building. Dealing with the place in Jackson and they have been good so far. I live in the city of Stockbridge. Paid for a permit so was trying to do the 'right' thing. It's going over a bed of gravel. Metal roof. 3 sides and front open. Tons of emails back and forth with planning an zoning. Cleared everything until it got to them. So much crap saying we would have to have a extension from current driveway to it. That's out of the question. Told them the lower drive(gravel) is where it will be placed.(they say im out of compliance with a 2nd drive that's been there for 32 years.)
Anyone ever put up something like that and had the code people flag it or be told to take it down? I'm curious what the fine would be?
For the record, I live on a street with 75% metal carport/pole barn type buildings. Non HoA. Meth trailerpark behind me.
Mostly venting but I would listen to opinions. thanks

May want to visit zoning and talk to someone in-person and bring a copy of all of your email correspondence. May get lucky and get someone with an IQ greater than their shoe size to push it through for you. If that doesn’t work refer to Gunanddoglover post.

You're dealing with the government. Good luck with that. Worst fine, they could make you tear it down. And fine you everyday till it's completed

How the F*** is it that the government can tell private property owners that they can't build a shed or storage building on their own property a nice looking addition to the Homestead, but they won't do a g---d--- thing when a bunch of Latinos move into a RENTED house, park 7 running cars on the property PLUS 14 abandoned / salvage / project vehicles along with a commercial landscape truck and trailer, skid steer, a dump truck, and an ambulance converted into a mobile taco truck ...all in a nice residential neighborhood??

Usually, unless someone complains to the city / county, code enforcement will never know. I know of a few that has been installed without permitting.
No foundation, no electrical, no plumbing = no permit
