First if they continue to pursue legal take many photos of the interior of your building. Present them to the judge. They will have to defend why they have reason to believe that you would make living quarters there.
Include a layout with dimensions if that helps your case.
Next the poles being stored should be an environmental issue, perhaps not. But maybe the department of environment needs to know about it.
Municipal planning department might be able to help you with whether that is a permitted use and if there needs to be setbacks or buffers from residences.
But just a word of advice, don't mix two issues when you deal with these things. No one wants to hear you bring up what they consider unrelated stuff. Perhaps organize your thoughts in a clear concise manner so that it is easy for them to see the point you are making.

Honestly I don't feel we have the whole story here or maybe you're linking two unrelated issues, but I can comment on the building aspect. If what you're saying is correct, it sounds like Flagstaff County is misinterpreting the code (intentionally in a worst case scenario, unintentionally if you give them the benefit of the doubt). Ultimately they are the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) but you might find some professional expertise countering their opinion through municipal affairs, the government wing that is responsible for how the code is interpreted. You can contact them, explain the situation and ask for clarification on how your building should be classified, and what you should do if you disagree with the building inspector. Or does the appeal on Jun 26th involve them?
I'm not entirely sure how the process goes as I've never done it before but that's where I'd start if I felt the code was being applied incorrectly.

Is the building inspector a direct employee of Flagstaff County? Or contracted? Many smaller municipalities in Alberta contract out their inspection services to either Inspections Group or Superior Safety Codes, there's a third one whose name I can't recall. If the inspector who changed his mind is in one of those groups, you could also go up the food chain there to dispute the interpretation. Though the CAO offered to come inspect and you sidestepped that offer so I'm not sure it's a quick, easy resolution that you want.Last edited by Marusko; Jun 14, 2019, 09:39.

Funny how problems tend to follow certain people 🤔

Housing illegals, are we? Some inspectors are anal. I would think a work shop is a work shop even if you only put machinery in there spring and fall. I know of a horse barn with a rental suite on top floor - so what, does that make the riding accademy a rental suite? Geez!
