News, Officials allow man to keep baseball field.
POWAY, Calif., Aug. 19 (UPI) -- Officials in a California city have voted to allow a man to keep the private baseball field he built on his property last year without permission.
The Poway City Council unanimously voted Tuesday to issue a permit to Jonathan Weisz for his field under the condition that it not be used for any organized games, only for practice by his triplet sons and their friends, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Wednesday.

Yeah, because God forbid that kids should have more places to play baseball.

I don't understand why someone can't build a baseball field on their own property. What the hell is with big brother's attitude?

If you have a 50 acre lot like the guy in the article has and landscape a part of your lot to look like a baseball field, but not call it a baseball field, can you do that without a permit? I have seen homes landscaped with putting greens and doubt that the owners had to get a permit. Comparatively speaking a baseball field on a 50 acre lot would make a small dent in the property and wouldn't take much in the way of the lot. Not any more than these people that put putting greens in take. It is just landscaping right? Maybe it is how you ask the question, or don't ask.

Welcome to the most over-lawed, over-regulated, nanny-governed state in the union. Thank goodness we'll be looking at it in the rear-view mirror in about three weeks!
