Use to go to Council Weekly Meetings. Would come home all wound-up due to the Idiots on the council and there 'thought' process
After 6 months of this I quit going...wasn't worth the heartburn, blood pressure and just being peed off
Life has been much better.........still idiots on the council cause they have 'ties' to community (Once again Small Town Politics at large)
Comply or Storage....
*Hate to see a good tree removed, along with the other needed work/monies but if you want it on site.....comply and be done with it
Storage until Spring...then do the needed mods
I've gone through EXACTLY the same process with the same results. I have no intention of fighting City Hall on this one. Even if you win, you lose too much.
I understand that the trailer in front of the house detracts from the overall visual appeal of the neighborhood. I understand that my property will "look better" if the trailer is elsewhere. Still, it is disappointing that it's been OK with everyone for years, but suddenly someone has a problem with it. I also really detest the whole notion of neighbors turning neighbors in to the authorities. I can't help but wonder if this whole COVID thing has emboldened people to act that way.
I've been researching storage places. I only need to find a place for the months of February and March this year, because they gave me to the end of January to comply. I'll probably move it to storage this year and then work on making a place for it in the back yard. The tree is no stately, towering, majestic natural wonder. It was damaged in an ice storm many years ago, and it is sort of ugly as a result. It won't be missed. The leveling and other work can be done relatively inexpensively.
