_ __ . _ �. <br /> : � <br /> . i <br /> � . � : <br /> ' � . ,4 <br /> � • <br /> , � <br /> this property in question. I �o throu!;h the proper channels, <br /> make it clear that 1 ari perfectly willing to pa3r a fair price <br /> to �ot the land tllat I want, a.m willing 'to ;�ay an�* added taxes <br /> on my improvements, check into gettin� tl�e ne�cessary building <br /> permits, in short do everything I feel sh::uld oe done to make <br /> the transaction lagal and correct. <br /> l•Iow I Am I in for a shock. Thi s .i s when I find that my neighbe r <br /> took it upon himsel.f to pour concrete on not only his portion <br /> of this easerlent Uut also on mine. !�s if tc�is is not enou�h, <br /> it mei;s wo�•se. Because he illegallg poured concre�;e on City <br /> property, it is su��ested that I should �ive up part of the . <br /> land tha�t I should be entiticd to havinr3. Because he illegally <br /> poured a d�•iveway wiiere it shc�uld not have bcen, I am told <br /> that I must have the pi�operty surveyed. '1�he P1.anning Co � , ission <br /> debated ove�• whetiier it should even be vacuted to protect � <br /> this ille�;�l driveway. It is not even considered an illet;al <br /> improvement. It is always refer�ed to as the Grant � s drive- <br /> waf. The Grants, in all realit;� do not even have a driveway. <br /> In between t:�e two houses is a strip of concrete -c_�gi:a poured, <br /> but since it is on City pro�ert�*, can I noL use itF l�t -seems <br /> that it would �e to the Grant t� adv�?.nta�e to own a drivet•ra;�. <br /> As it stanus, I could pars on the cit�r �art of tiis drivet��ay <br /> ' and someone else at the other end of t'rie city par� and 'nis <br /> driveiaa� would be totallv useless. Thus bloclted, h�e could <br /> not oet his car in and out to ;o to and frem tiaort:. <br /> Because of t��is drivez•aaf, I 'nad to foot the cost of the surve;�. <br /> I have not fet received the bill, 'ouc I ti�a��s told to plan on <br /> at least :�1 C0. `1'his �rould not :t�ve been necess�_� ��ad tlzs <br /> drivet�aay nat b:�en th�re. This is in addition to the apprµisal. <br /> T have recei�,Ted the bill on this. Tre cost was �oG. I�r. Vern <br /> '" Rob;� did tl�is se-r°vice ar�d told :�:e that t�le cost to the propert;� <br /> own.ers denends on need. xie stated the Grants ne:ded this larid <br /> for a d ivetacy. I nointed out that ti1e� have a lon� lot �aith <br /> an ac�:,ess to and from the a11ey. I see Zhat ��e dicl point this <br /> out in his ap��raisal. ti:'hat hQ did not point out is that N1r. <br /> Grant does u�e tho alle� at least KO;� of zhe ��_Me. he nulls in <br /> and out from the alley to the sti�eet, via his driveway. yJhy <br /> not huve r�a.de his drive in his back ;*ard instead oi' thc ease- <br /> r�ent and avoided all tt�is corinlic�.tion? I do not i�.1ve a back <br /> �ard to �o to. I onlf have a �'3 �oot lo�. I still uo not <br /> believe tha� trie price t�,ek�•d on ti�.is ten foot lot does not <br /> t«ke into consideration this supnosed dire need or the Grants <br /> and also tl�e concrete impr•ovement c�oii�3 by them. ti•�hy am I <br /> expected to pa� for a survey I did r.ot �•rant, concrete I am not <br /> responsible for, a dire need I c�o not havo, and t;tiezi in the <br /> end be told that T should ;ive u;� my claim for my nart in <br /> favor of ttie Grants? Maybe there is somethin� hero I do not <br /> see, but considerin� all the facts, 1 feel I am �cttin� shafted. <br /> titiihat I see is a �rea� disre�;ar:-� for more than one City law, <br /> yet I am Qettin� my hand slapped for oboyin; the law. <br />
