We need help. We moved to a small NW Connecticut town in
March of 07. We searched for a home and property large
enough so that we could run a quite business from our home.
We found the perfect home but it needed a outbuilding to
house some of our inventory. We presented the town Building
and Zoning with the plans for a NE Barn. The department
approved and said that what we intended to use it for was
permisable. From the very beginning, our neighbor took the
liberty to come on to our property, take measurements, call
the Building and Zoning department. This I overlooked. He
then called up the Assecor to check things, which I
overlooked as inevitable. We then had a heated
confrontation as I trimmed 9 pine branches that are
overhanging my property line to the point that they were
reaching the ground for safety. I went to the police with
the matter, they said that they would come out to talk to
him if I wanted, I said no but the documented the visit.
Now all hell is breaking loose. He has know created a
packet stating all his greivences as he believes the
building should not be allowed. He believes we should not
be able to use it to house some of my inventory. He has
mailed this to numerous city officials. We now have to go
before the town at a special hearing to see if we can get a
special permit. I wish the town would have mentioned this.
To make matters worse, he has personally slipped these
packets along with the meeting date and his cover-letter
basically stating that we need to be stopped and ran out of
town into all the neighbor's mailboxes down our 3 mile
street and even the next street down the hill . Some of the
information is false. Now we are getting phone calls from
people on the street who are either irate that someone
slipped this into the mailbox without reference to who sent
it and without postage, or they are calling us and calling
us unscrupulous without event knowing what we do. This
neighbor constantly takes photos, stares out his window to
the point that we are nervous about even going outside. To
make this worse, my wife has been so upset by the actions
of this man that she is now depressed and is having to take
medication. This guy is going to be our ruin. We put every
thing we had into making this move. We paid every permit,
asked every department we could, and did this. In the face
of loosing everything because of a hateful neighbor, what
do I do? Thanks
