Helvingston hasn’t given up. He told the city, ‘You’ll take my house before you take my vegetable garden.’

Resident Shelly Snow told cameras, “(I’m) definitely not bothered by it. As a matter of fact, we love it.”
Helvingston is scheduled to go before the city council next month to argue the matter.
Meanwhile, other local residents are fighting back on the issue as well, demanding citizens lobby the mayor to change the code:
