Impact analysis
Costs fall on the property owner for surveys, filings, and remediation, not taxpayers.
The property owner gets to legalize his home and parking; the neighbor gets written assurance the driveway won't become a construction staging area.
None materially, though the neighbor had raised ongoing concerns about delays and construction vehicles.
