Boy when it rains it pours.. who came up with that saying props!
So wouldn't you know ontop of all my pain today I got emailed the certified letter I didn't get from the land trust. These guys are stepping over the line & I have to decide how angry to get.
As it is I have some heavy lifting ahead of me... but if they push me to far I will lawyer up. And then things get interesting as I will look into the original agreement that gave this trust 30 acres which I know they have done very little to maintain. I will request their proof of work over the years. Maybe there's a way to get land back. Also the neighboring town has some old rules about use and some of the changes they want me to make other than my grotto have been in place for 30 years and I think I could win a case.
Here is the email I sent back- I wanted to sound normal. A lot of rich New Yorker's have moved up here and clear cut land that did not belong to them and then the trust says plant some seeds. For me a real person who has been here 13+ years they are treating with heavy hands...
So I want them to think I'm an old crazy coot which I am... I want them to know I'm angry but I can surprise them with some lawyers from Cape Cod who I can get through my Brothers' wife's father.
Push an American too far.... Van I know this outside of your lane but your thoughts on my response.
Dear XXXX
Thank you for getting in touch Did you receive me email? I answered many of your issues. I would be glad to work with you in any way possible.
My Grotto — it is not a terrace--extends very slightly onto the Trust if you insist I will tear it down by hand it’s very beautiful and this seems like a very mean thing to do to someone.
The fire pit I explained was constructed by XXXX and has been there for 30 years. I am not going to touch that. We don’t use it I do not understand why you are being so intrusive. If you have to- take it away yourself.
XXXX has pictures of the original gardens I believe -they are the original gardens from XXX XXXX who granted you the trust land in question. You want me to take down her gardens? That is outrageous. I will not do that.
Yes I was wrong with the grotto, it is on your property line by feet...you have very right to insist upon me removing it although it cause me great personal pain and grievance. We are good people and you are treating us like the enemy.
We have been here for over 13 years. Never have we had such interactions with XXXX Land Trust
I will move the fence line and hand remove the grotto all fall-- I do not understand technology- Is it five feet? Please tell me how far because it is so heavy to move. I do not understand the map.
As to the items that are from the prior owner XXXX. If you like I will call him about the fire pit if and gardens & he can provide you with pictures. Or call you I hope.
Is this agreeable to you?
Yours truly, stoney
