Some time back, I bought a house in inner Brisbane with the intention of sub dividing it and putting a "removal" house on the back "battle axe" block. Sub dividing went well until the council insisted that a power pole had to be installed beside the driveway... before we could build.
I reminded the assigned council genius that our plans showed that a removal house would be transported up this driveway, as it was we had less than a metre clearance to fit it between two existing houses, so a power pole was out of the question.
No the pole had to go in first! That was the rule!
3 days later, no progress, so I asked the genius how he imagined I could bring the house up onto the block... OVER the pole or UNDER the pole?
Genius looked at me as if he actually knew the answer, and said " that's for you to decide".
Obvious course was to install power pole, get stamp of approval from idiot, pull pole out, bring in house, install pole...seek therapy.
