Rustic Diamond cabin setback variance

The applicant explained he's spent four years and over $70,000 in legal fees, won three state rulings in his favor, completed a land swap with the city, and has a signed easement from the neighbor — so moving the cabin now makes no sense.

A former council member who's followed the case for years said this variance is basically the last piece needed to make the whole Rustic Diamond project work, and nobody's opposed.
