Too bad the land owner can’t turn to the courts for help....
Perhaps this could be an opportunity for the courts to undo what they have done wrong?
In Idaho, no less...
“This was the first step, as recommended by our attorney. The city is still open to negotiations.”
Perhaps it’s just me, but that is no way to start negotiations, that’s how you start a fight.
Theft. Look to backroom deals between the major moverss in government and the developer.
(Hey. Just stating the obvious...)
Theft, plain and simple.
Why not purchase a quarter acre or full acre, put up a memorial marker and be done with it?
To Marxists, all property is “theft”.
I vote THEFT!
Theft. No way Wendell needs 235 acres for a waste water upgrade.
This guy will win in court, if he chooses to fight it. The city is operating outside their jurisdiction.
We own about 100 acres that bordered the buffer zone to the city we live in. We are about 2-1/2 miles outside of town, it is completely country there so we decided to split the land and develop it.
When word got out after we went to the township for the zoning changes the city just arbitrarily moved the buffer zone line from our south property line to our north property line, putting us in their tax base.
We had to cancel the plans because we then had to develop to the cities ordinances, 25’ wide paved roads with curbs (the main road servicing it is only 20’, some lady on the board told us it’s because the firetrucks mirrors hit when they pass each other in case of a fire).
The cost jumped up so high for all the crap they added we had to scrap the whole development, 20 1 acre lots wouldn’t have even paid for the road and firetruck access to our lake for refilling with curbs, came out to 1/4 million, 200 grand more than the initial costs after the city go involved.
