When John Sampieri got the final inspection done on his new Brevard County, Florida, home, the inspector gave him some odd news. The house met all codes, but the lawn wasn't up to standard. Sampieri says he was told he had to plant five hardwood trees and 15 shrubs to get it up to required standards. Sampieri's yard is less that one-eighth of an acre.
