Logic Prevails, Pissed off my neighbor.

I would love to see a drawing of this. It seems that even when ya give people want more. We have a chain link fence and on one side I may take it down and put up a privacy fence because the neighbor keeps her poor dog chained up and as long as we are in the backyard the dog is barking non-stop.

Her son one day bitched about wanting to put up a fence but the damn power line was "right there". I told him he should just put the fence up but pointed to the marker down by the sidewalk. The one that is 2' on their side of our fence that is already up. I explained that the power line runs on an easement and that is why our fence is on our side of it. I mentioned that any fence he put up needs to be on his side of that marker. Since they like to keep there boat right up against our fence and on the easement he has not said another word.

Buy his place and raze the structure. More garden for you.

I'd love to buy it all and tear it down. Build a single family or two smaller units on it, just in the right place. We have some good ideas to fix it all up, but without money, it will stay the way it is for a while.

JerryMRC, check the codes, they will let you put fences on the utility easement lines, just depends on what it is.

Here is a google map showing the easement:

Yellow is the easement.
Red is existing fence of mine. He just wanted his own that was Private, since my fence is just posts and wire mesh.

He wanted a fence also along the driveway on his side, and I agreed he could do so. Kinda screws things up, owell.

I only asked that he keep/replace the gate marked in solid red so I could still access the garage for my legal use/maint. Talked about sharing the gate cost, and I'd be ok with some cost most likely.

He decided the gate wasn't an option. Fine, then you'll have to fence off the entire easement on your side of things. (South of garage, east of garage) I'm not allowing the easement access to be blocked. (per legal documents on file)

Really messes up what he currently is using.

Updated image: Blue is power line easements. Green is sewer for the duplex.

PITA

I have a neighbor like this. He broke one of the posts of our shared fence, and wanted to fix it himself.
Uhh...no. You are a rampaging alcoholic who can barely navigate your driveway on foot.

Told him I'd deal with it.
He threw a huge fit, but instead of threatening to move, he threatened to sue. Yeah, OK.
So, I get a surveyor out and oops! A bunch of "his" property is actually mine. Including the whole of the fence.

So, I send him a nice kindly "f-off and die" letter with the date I'm doing the work and never heard a peep.

Until he threatened to sue another of my neighbors (a buddy on the HOA board) about a lien the HOA put on him for a bunch of other violations.

I've never gotten a neighbor to move. There have been some mysterious disappearances, time by time, though.

[Madeinhb]

Sounds like he already had his mind made up about moving. Just wanted a privacy fence for resell
