Ok I have 2 cedar trees that are over 160 years old in my yard out near the road, and the electric company want to trim them back to the trunks of the trees (butchering them) making them both look like telephone poles on the road side of the trees. They say that they have a right away of 15' from the center of the poles out on both sides. What are my legal rights? Could I possibly get historic plaques to put on the trees to where they can't cut them?
Thanks for any advice. I'm waiting on a lawyer to call me back hopefully today or tomorrow for what my legal rights are, that is if he even knows.
Did YOU actually measure the distances involved to make sure they're correct? Have you seen the documents that gives them the easement? Likerly what the guy has said is correct, so about the only solution is to hire an arborist to come out with a HUGE tree digger and move the whole thing away from their easement. $$$$$
This is just another example of Democrats and the left trying to impose their views upon rural America. It is not enough for them not to do something they don't like, they want to force you to conform to their world view.
I have not but easily could have when trapping beaver on water ways that rise and fall. Make a set thats only legal covered by water. Here a 330 and mb 750 or #5 only to find them 2' on dry land the next morning
It a CO wanted to that would be an instant violation though not intentionally done. Having no idea the dams down stream would be opend and level lowered.
Since I only trap my place and problems for friends on private land I have had no trapping related interactions with game wardens and prefer to keep it that way.
I think you are making it harder than it needs to be. In MO, and I assume most other states, the county assessor has already mapped it and you can look at their maps to see where it is drawn. Some......if not most.......are now online. But if not, you can walk in and ask to see map of the 40 acres in question. The smaller piece will be a window within. And likely as not, the pins or stakes marking survey corners are already in place on the ground.
In my previous post I have already talked to recorders office and they would send me the deed for the 40A and or the 5 plus acre deed but no footages or any other info is attached to those deeds except legal description. I already know the legal description of the 5 plus acres and the remaining acres in that qtr/qtr. I'm looking for footages from the Pinned corners that I know where they are at. Have the footages would save some extra surveying costs for me. Not hard at all a surveyor will be able to find that one boundary of the 5A that need to buy what I need.
Recorders office has the deeds. Assessor's office takes the legal description from those deeds and plat them out on paper to make parcel maps. I'm pretty sure from what you are saying and asking about, Assessor's office has what you want.
I don't use, but have seen the land ownership apps on phones.........and if I had to guess, those are all developed from assessor's maps.......from which you can correlate the visual to ownership and acres. All that is on the Assessor's records.........in MO it is a Property Record Card (PRC).
I've done contract nest raider work for the last 5 years. A few things I have learned are. Nest raider control and fur trapping are two completely different things. My clients expect me to eliminate as many raccoons, possums and skunks as possible. I've found that DP 's alone don't get this done. Anytime I see a DP refusel or a trap on it's side and bait gone I put in a dirt hole with a foothold, vast majority of the time next check or two the culprit is waiting for me. I also make some water sets with foothold traps to pick up the raccoons that don't seem to want to work a dryland set. I also place a golf ball or small flat rock on top of each DP, keeps the mice out and enables me to check them at from ATV with no stop. Hope this helps you out, just a few things, among many that really upped my catch ratio.
this promotion is awesome.. love seeing active young members.. . fyi: am posting this as a test ? Im new (but an adult) and want to check my byline (signature) loved readig the posts !
Just to be clear as you seem to be shopping for a reaction to your nugget of info. I’m not opposed to bison reintroduction. However poor planning causing a clash between two wasteful state funded projects is a joke. The Nenana Ag project is padding bank accounts in the name of “food security “ meanwhile wasting funding to bring back game species while several others diminish is again mismanagement. It’s odd that as the west coast has nearly wiped out several fisheries, and since recovered from bad practices, and we can not see that coming here, and plow headfirst down the same path.
I do hope my boys can fill their freezers with bison someday however.
On the other hand due to low gas prices last fall our gov. raised the gas tax 21.4 cents to which my progressive friends replied "What difference does it make gas is lower then its ever been"
And Gretchen baby thinks she's presidential timber. Well, maybe not quite as delusional as AOC thinking so
Last couple years I have just put mine in the pot with my traps.Just don`t let them in real long or they get really dark.Once hung in the brush you have to really look to see them.
