A long time carpenter in the neighborhood has told me that the structures are built to code, but still without permit. I cannot personally attest to the veracity of that statement, though it seems quite possible from what I have seen. But the condition of showing need in order to get the final approval is interesting. My understanding is that some of the unpermitted construction is on the SPACE building itself and some are residences within Belly Acres. I don't know anything about sheds and structures of that nature. I believe the HAAS satellite school is in unpermitted new construction, so theoretically, need could be shown for those, but I don't know how they can prove need of multiple unpermitted dwellings, one of the newest of which is quite close to the property line.
