This guy has a familiarity with this boat going back to the 50s, and bought the boat when he heard the city was going to scrap her.
He also has cancer and will likely not see the completion of his project - he intends for his son to finish it.
Bureaucracies are the same all over - real bottom feeders.

Because when he started it, it wasn't against any ordinances?
Some projects can't be moved. I have had several project cars that once they are up on jacks and the wheels are off, they don't move until I'm done with them.

I’d help him too, but after 6 years and him refusing to provide a timeline it looks more like an eyesore.
When a neighbor effects the enjoyment of my property I take offense. If I move in next to a shooting range its my bad. If they move a giant ugly ass boat in then its theirs.

Just an FYI, 72 feet is 44.3076923 of my cubits.

That’s pretty cool. I might consider it a neighborhood attraction, although there is the noise issue. How long is it going to take him to finish? Someone in town took six years to build a 3500 sq ft house all by himself.
Holland’s house looks like an upside down boat, with a wheelhouse perched on the hull.
To: driftdiver
The law went into effect after he was already working on it.
Do you live next to him? If not, then you really don't have much of a complaint here...

A metal boat, on the other hand, you can toss on a giant low-boy, and haul to the water.

Well gee I guess FR should just shut down since we can only comment on things that directly effect us.

Yeah, I can see that piece of you-know-what lowering the sales prices of homes in the area.
Unless this guy wants to pay the differences in the tens of thousands each one of these homes would lose, I would suggest he move it pronto.

“When a neighbor effects the enjoyment of my property I take offense. If I move in next to a shooting range its my bad. If they move a giant ugly ass boat in then its theirs.”
It is his property. Where do you get the rights to claim anything about it? Maybe he doesn’t like the color of your house or that you BBQ outside and should demand you change those things? Maybe he thinks you have a cheap car and you should get a better looking one.

But if the hull is sound, it can be moved ... just as if it’s finished. That said, my point was that if it can be moved when completed, why not now?
But don’t misunderstand me ... I do NOT agree with the city on forcing this move. An ordinance can not be retroactive.

“...he could not give them an estimated date of completion.”"How about, “on the 12th of Never”.
That would be an excellent estimation. With a wood boat when you get done at one end it's time to go back to the other and start again.
