You are in Rhode Island. Everything is zoned in RI. They will want a construction permit to do the paving and you may need to rezone for the permit. And don't forget the environmental impact study because you have a wetlands nearby. Then they will up your property tax for the extra blacktop on your property.

I think some of the RI government types think they are not part of the United States. They refused to waive the sales tax on a used car I purchased while in the Navy. Even though there is a Presidential order waiving sales tax for active duty armed forces not stationed at thier Home of Record. I talked to one guy on the phone there that thought he was was god incarnate because he worked for the guv'ment in RI. Me "You are aware of the Soldier and Sailors relief act right?" Him "That doesn't apply to RI." Me "So RI has seceded from the United States?" Him "Go piss up a rope." To summarize.

I am never, ever going back there again. I mean, holy crap, you are ignoring a legal Presidential Order. Geesh.
