Description

The new owners of the property on the SW corner of Taylor Ave and Ronald Court have erected a new fence in the road right of way on both Taylor and Ronald Court. A few neighbors approached the owners to advise them as such and were basically told to mind their own business. When queried as too whether they obtained a survey they said "yes". However there are no new survey marks to be seen. They do not seem interested in knowing road right of ways extend beyond the asphalt. The owners have been warned to stop work but they are not willing. Please require them to conduct a survey with a licensed surveyor and put the fence in the proper location!

Also, the owners have been observed filling in drainage ditches with a tractor and affecting the natural hydrology without any permit. The area is know to be very swampy in winter so a wetland survey would be appropriate. It is possible portions of the new fence are being erected in a wetland.
