Anyone will tell you that we're pretty easy-going and peaceful people. I have a thick skin and don't let too much bother me, probably to a fault. That's why you haven't heard us complain about disturbances by our neighbors' dogs, trash, late-night skid steer work, etc. An average neighbor would've filed complaints, called the police, etc. long ago. We have never been approached by these particular neighbors in any degree, yet they claim they are concerned with being "harmed by retaliation". There is absolutely no basis for this statement. They do not know myself or my family members, they are simply making a statement to attempt to bring a dramatic effect to their perceived plight. A normal Fear baiting tactic to justify commentary of "despise" of people they do not personally know. Sadly, a modern wide spread technique to achieve whatever goal they have in sight, or simply to be heard. We have more respect for people than that in this household and frankly I am concerned that a neighbor we've had no communication with would allow themselves to be so upset and outraged without a simple knock at a door or a comment in passing that could serve to alleviate and resolve some of their concerns. RE: 'If these folks are smart enough to realize their massive burden on the neighborhood, then they don't care anyway". The property to the west on the river was purchased by my family to do several different things. 1) preserve the property from being developed and subjecting ours and the 2 properties adjacent to ours from the straight-line winds caused by heavy storms up the river channel. 2) To preserve the ability of the many neighbors and neighborhood children to have the ability to continue to use the property for atv trails, access to the river, fishing, dog walking etc. Due to the sloping of the grade between my property and the adjacent south neighbor property, we went to great extent and cost to install a massive rock drainage field with lead routes to prevent the flooding in the spring and water encroachment on the neighbor's driveway. This had ZERO effect on our usable property, yet was the right thing to do in my opinion. My ex-husband caused my neighbor to the South a tremendous amount of stress and annoyance. Possibly even as much as I was caused. They are wonderful people and have been a great encouragement in our efforts to continue and finish things here. Trash- Check out the fence line on our side. I know this sounds impossible, but we've watched trash get pitched over their fence and into our yard. We occasionally walk the fence line and pick up trash, and it's apparent that the wind didn't blow it there due to the brush situation on our side. Over the years, we'd find fast food bags, plastic bottles, TONS of construction waste (plastic, wraps, tarps, pieces of broken concrete, chunks of cement sculptures, even a wrought -iron bird cage -looking thing). These neighbors bring littering to a new level. On one occasion, we were backing out of our driveway when Rachelle noticed a guy pushing a massive armload of tree trimmings over their 7ft. fence and onto our yard. WHO DOES THATI 111111?????? 1 had to physically restrain Rachelle who was swearing and trying to get out of the car to accost that person. Again, it's just not worth it. There area lot of people who live or hang around that complex, and the crazy shit they do makes me think they might as well be dangerous too (especially with their lack of regard for their neighbors). Facts: the fence line on their side. 1) 1 own 4 feet past the fence, per code. And our fence is 6ft, not 7ft per code. Facts matter 2) They have also watched a crew scrape and remove the ENTIRE 4 ft of property line on that side of the fence. 3) We also walk the fence line and pick up trash. We are the only property with an entirely encompassing privacy fence. This neighborhood sometimes gets up to 50 mile an hour winds, we pick up trash of products we don't use all around the outside of our property line. This past summer, we replaced/reinforced all fence posts, cut back all brush around the property within our 4 feet. Contractors and family members did this and yes it was an inconvenience to all to do it, but necessary for structural integrity and upkeep of the fence. I do not believe the complainant is aware of the property
