The Supervisors question whether the Board erred in applying a liberal construction of an ordinance provision that permits rebuilding of non-conforming structures to decrease or eliminate non-conformities, where non-conforming structures were destroyed by fire more than five years earlier, and another ordinance provision prohibits restoration of non-conforming structures destroyed by fire if the restoration commences more than one year after the fire.
