Thanks everyone.. Especially Fire-medic..

I have spoken politely with the city more than once.. City told me to use edging and rock but never specified any details. A buddy told me they made him put special river rock under a car of his so it would be a good idea for me to find where the ordinance is written later this afternoon when its 100+.

Right now I need to dig up my yard for the edging.. I rented a power edger and want to get that part done while its still cool.



Time for limestone

After all of that is done and you are sure you are compliant with the city codes, why don't you contact the Tampax company and get a full sided trailer wrap made for the side of your trailer that faces his house.

Make sure that you properly trim any shrubbery between the houses so he can fully "appreciate" your new trailer graphics.

Thats gotta be close to the best idea on graphics..

What cracks me up about this thread is a police officer is telling me to dump fish in my neighbors yard..!:rofl_200: I love it!:biglaugh::rofl_200:

You could get a couple of spot lights and point them straing at his bedroom windows leave them on all night. If anyone asks it's for your safety Forgot what movie it was in but pretty funny. If I had to guess I would say that this police officer dealt with his BS before.

While the revenge stuff is fun to talk about and would certainly be satisfying, as said it's just going to cause more problems for you in the end. This guy sounds like he's got a stick shoved up his ass and then sat down, so any possible reason to complain you bet he'll make the most of it. Putting fox piss in his car or drain-o on his lawn and he'll call the cops for vandalism.

So chances are you're never going to be best friends with the guy even if the trailer thing is amicably resolved. Plant some tall shrubs between your properties (if that's allowed) and leave it at that.

Maybe make a habit of taking your bike to the local (diner, coffee joint, Denny's) that's open at like 4am. Take your bike and generously warm it up before leaving. Can't prove anything, since you actually went somewhere with it.

Read a story a while back about a guy who was building a house that turned out to be too tall ( per local ordinance ) , across the street from his neighbors house which blocked his neighbors view of the local mountain landscape , ( his neighbor was the one that turned him in ) . Local authorities made him lower the height of his house by a few feet ( expensive ) , in order to comply with regulations. However, when he lowered the house , he also changed the siding , on the side that faced his neighbor with the look of a fist , with the middle finger sticking up. :rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200:

Here's a picture of the house

I have worked as an urban planner, and am a certified plans examiner and zoning inspector, and life safety code/fire inspector in FL.

First thing to do is, contact the supervisor and code enforcement officer or member of the department that gave you the notice of violation. Be polite. Write to them and ask for a month of time to get a local business to take care of this for you, because they can't deliver your rock to your prepped site within the timeframe the community mandated.

The city/county/etc. should normally grant your request. #1, you have acknowleged the notice of violation, you #2, have contacted a local business about bringing you fill, you #3, have recognized the need to contain the crushed rock via site improvements, and #4, you asked for a reasonable timeframe to accomplish the work. Even if you intend to do this entire project yourself, do this/tell them this.

All the local government is interested in is seeing the local code followed. Be glad they are not asking for a 'paved surface connecting to a thoroughfare or surface street,' something many jurisdictions do!

In the interests of maintaining relations w/your neighbor, do not fall prey to the idea of retaliation. Local judicial bodies will recognize it for what it is and you are just going to pick a scab that can easily become infected. People get shot over things like this that just escalate, you don't need to have your life negatively affected by seeking retribution, even though there would be a satisfaction quotient to stuffing his face into a steaming pile of canine or bovine manure.

Follow the steps I told you and you will be able to put it behind you, and return to your life apart from such issues. It is easy to sink into a neighborhood war of retribution, and all that will do is make you miserable and possibly end very badly.

If you want to know exactly what you need to do, go to your local jurisdiction's website and at either the Building Dept. or Planning & Zoning Dept. website section, you should find some-sort of link to city or town or county code of ordinances. Use the search function to investigate topics like parking of recreational vehicles, trailers, or boats, and driveways. Use any or all of those to find what your requirements are under the adopted ordinances. You will also be able to find-out what your property's zoning classification is which is what tells you what part of the code of ordinances covers your property. There will probably be a link to a GIS map which shows your parcel specifically. Sometimes it is located at the property appraiser's website under a tab for maps and aerial views, or something similar. Note that there may be one clasification for zoning and another for future land use, which is required for areas of population where the housing is more-dense, i.e., urban areas. They may-be the same in name, but they are not the same, nor do they mean the same! For instance, a zoning district of residential, density of two dwelling units per acre is not the same as a future land use classification of residential, low-density. The zoning classification is what governs your building requirements.

Working from a point of knowledge is far-better than trying to stumble-along and making expensive mistakes because you bought the wrong grade of rock or didn't install a required method of retaining the parking surface material, such-as curbing, landscape timbers, edging, or whatever is required. It's worth a trip to the Building Dept. to get an OK on your proposed materials and method of installation. Be forewarned, many jurisdictions require appointments to speak with the plans reviewers or other professional staff.

I suggest you bring a copy of your survey which you have photocopied multiple copies of, and show on it where you want to place the material, drawn as-much as possible to-scale. This will also help you to estimate how-much material you need when contacting a local hauler of materials. Get multiple bids on what you choose to use, as you may find a great distance between jobbers. They may have a minimum size load for-which you have to pay, even if you only need a fraction of the carrying capacity of the delivery vehicle. Also, they may not be able to deliver exactly where you want it, especially if you ask them to place it off a paved road. Haulers are occasionally seen on the 'net having sunk to their axles in a drainfield, or a septic tank, or straddling a wellhead, gushing water from the broken pipe onto the property, and the truck sunk in the soft earth. And don't we all laugh whan that same truck topples sideways or slides down a change in elevation, and inverts? We all laugh until it's on our property!

I've seen all these things and more, and I have had to do tactical rescue when they happen. Plan before you act. It's less-costly, safer, and will reduce the stress you have already encountered dealing with this. You can PM me if you have a question.:ummm:

I agree with what Fire-Medic said in his post , do not push the issue as it will come back too haunt you . Try too do everything by the book and when it meets up too code enforcement your done!. he sounds like the type of person who will never be happy . I myself did something very stupid many yrs. ago that cost me a small fortune too correct and now 20 yrs later I am very sorry I did what I did but back then I was young and just did not care . Step up be the better man , might take some time but try this first , then if after some time he does not change be creative with what you do and KEEP QUIET about it. Later Kurt

So how close is your neighbor? Within earshot? Do you have local noise ordinance regulating the times at which one can be "loud"? With the temperatures approaching "heat stroke" levels, perhaps you should be using power tools and heavy machinery in the wee hours of the morning and late evenings when it's cooler and when he is lying in bed or chilaxxing, lementing on how he screwed you over. Mwuhahahaaaaa.

You can request FIA (Freedom of Info. Act) action to reveal the complaintants, though some jurisdictions accept anonymous complaints.

Unless there was an error in administering the local ordinance for your development rights, you are home-free.

Locally, the older sister of an acquaintance of mine, built a permitted storage building for her R.V. and because the neighbors complained about it, the city made her remove it. Her father owned the local bank (he is now deceased) and a realty co., and was a civic gov't force for many years, as well as being one of the early families in the community, but the building, though permitted, had the unusual step of having its building permit revoked.

That's crazy.. Your mean to tell me they gave her a permit. Then made her tear it down? Cant she sue the city?
