Big mud puddle in the drive? Your yard is now a wetland.
My parents bought 9 acres in Kennebunkport almost 35 years ago with a plan. They built a small ranch on it and wanted to sell 7 acres to fund their retirement when they reached 65. At 63 a lobsterman illegally started a lobster processing plant next door. They fought the town but they gave him an exclusion. In the meantime my dad put the land on the market and but he was told it was now classified as wetlands. Some dink from the town came out in late March and saw standing water so the bottom line is my parents can not sell the land and lost more than half their retirement, even after having paid all the top tier taxes on the property year after year.
