1/ made the mistake of reading neighborhood news on Facebook. story #1: the planning board has approved the construction of an Aubuchon Hardware store reactions include: * "I have it from someone who knows that it's going to be a Dollar General" [ ...ignoring the link ]

3/ * "what they SHOULD be building is [ a thing that can only be supported by a population density you find in the suburbs, like an ethnic restaurant or a pharmacy ] ... I don't know why they don't leave things the way they were"

4/ * "They shouldn't build it there [ in the zoned-commercial area ] ; they should build it some place that's zoned commercial."

7/ * "Why won't the government respect property rights ?!?!?" [ the government is enforcing the property rights of the owner of the property ] * "An 80 year old man should never be jailed!" [ gov said that he can walk out of the cell as soon as he agrees to stop trespassing ]

10/ from what I can tell, ownership of the land changed hands squatter says "I had a verbal agreement with the dead man", new owner says "I've got no evidence of that", judge asks "any further data?", squatter screams and drops f bombshttps://twitter.com/KarlKGallagher/status/1421114393870413825 …

11/ adverse possession has to be actual, open and notorious, exclusive, adverse and continuous adverse means "without permission" so if he had permission, not adverse, so no A.P. if he didn't, he's a squatter...and it doesn't seem to be "open"https://twitter.com/TheClarksTale/status/1421116959031128067 …

14/ multiple examples: * Zoning board chair says that he read my memo in objection to variance in full. If he did, then he knows that there's a Cease and Desist, and the variance can't be granted bc "personal circumstances". If he was lying, then he was derelict in his duty.

15/ * variance applicant said in court that there were other places he could have put the structure. If this is true, then he can't get a variance, because of “other reasonably feasible methods” sub prong of the hardship prong. If, OTOH, he lied, then he perjured himself.

16/ next zoning board meeting is on Tuesday three outcomes that I see: * variance denied (super unlikely) * variance approved (we immediately sue to overturn) * application rejected for rework (most likely, IMO, bc the application is laugable)https://twitter.com/rog_thronhill/status/1421121353021890560 …

17/ "Application returned for rework" is most annoying, because it stretches out the timeline for another 6 months or something ... and is unfair, as I TOLD ZBA 9 months ago exactly how the application was defective, and yet the rejection would give him a 2nd bite at the apple
Show this thread -
18/ My atty and I are in agreement that if the ZBA returns the application for rework, we sue immediately for summary judgement (I think that's the term) because there is no possible way a variance can legally be granted, and this charade has gone on long enough.
