According to Mtv News, R.Kelly found a common ground with his neighbors.

“The R&B singer has settled a dispute with his neighborhood over a guardhouse he built in front of his gated estate in the Chicago suburb of Olympia Fields. Kelly had filed a civil suit against village board trustees since they had rejected his permit request to build the guardhouse — a request he made only after it was already built — while the village board had sued him for violating local zoning laws. Now the singer has agreed to drop his lawsuit, the village board has dropped its lawsuit as well, the guardhouse has been torn down and Kelly has agreed to pay more than $20,000 to cover attorney fees and code-violation fines. .”
