I'd probably take the water hose to their vehicle...

In 11 degree weather? The only hose that works in that temp. is the one connected to your body......inside the house!

That's a good idea, they won't be parking in front of your house for long.

If they let their dog crap on your lawn, strategically place rat poison in his favorite spots. Fido might have a difficult time digesting poison. If they blame you for it or find the rat poison, you have an easy excuse and can say that you had a rat infestation.

Here's a question...

IF you actually OWN said property, and said white trash are parking ON YOUR property... why not just call and have them towed? You'd have all the legal right to do so. :confused:

Exaggerating much? Or just can't keep your facts straight?

First, she was parked in front of your house. We all assumed it was on the street.

Then, you said it wasn't on the street. Later, you claimed that where she parked would be in the way of a plow. I've never seen a plow go anywhere else other than the street.

If she's on the street in front of your house... too bad. Unless it's a no-parking zone, anyone can park there. I don't believe that you've talked to the city engineer, etc. about this "problem." Also, I'd like to know what city allows people to put up their own no parking signs to stop people from parking on public property that happens to be in front of their house.

as far as the parking goes, it was not on the street

The city has "right of way" from the center of my street to about 6 feet onto my property...

What are you talking about? If you're claiming (which you seem to be doing) that you own the property to the center of the street, then that previous quote makes absolutely no sense. (unless you have incredibly narrow streets.) Apparently you don't "own" to the center of the street; the city can do what they want on the first 6 feet of what you do own, ie the area between the sidewalk (if one exists) and the curb, such as lay down some new sewer pipes or water lines without digging up the road. "From the center of the street" is a simple way to convey the meaning that they can do it for the length of your property where it borders the street (and not, say, just one little semi-circle.)

I'm with DrPizza on this. I really don't understand this parking situation, nor do I understand how your municipalities ROW works (sounds wonky to me).
Can you provide some sort of diagram?

Ok, this whole parking issue has been resolved a long time ago, for quite sometime it went back and forth...like I said there is a 4 hour waiting time from the time I call the cops and report it IF in that 4 hour window they move said vehicle the there is no tow.

They knew this and would play a game of it.


Move the vehicle in 3.75 hours and there is nothing I could do.

It's 7 degrees (F) outside at the moment, with a windchill well below zero. My garden hose is outside and still works quite well. If you leave them running, they don't freeze up. :p

Eh, I get it. From the edge of his street to 6 feet in on his property there is a space that he's got laid out for parking somehow but that the city still has egress onto. Neighbor keeps parking there, not on the street.




His property
--------------
6ft - His property where city can come and where neighbor keeps parking
------------------------------------------------------
Street
------------------------------------------------------

That makes sense, but doesn't reconcile well with this:

actually yes I can...the city has "right of way" meaning that if a plow comes through you cannot and should not have anything there.

It does not mean it is "public "property.

Sounds to me like the OP is claiming that he owns the road and the city only has the right of way. (But, then says they have the right of way onto 6 feet of his property, which implies that the road is 12 feet wide, else the city plows the snow off private property. I don't believe it.

As I said... IF it's on YOUR property, YOU can have it towed. No cops necessary. Just call your favorite tow company and have them take it away.

If you want to have a lot of fun put up a sign that says private parking, unauthorized vehicles will be towed at owner's expense.

Space for the plow to shove snow, I should think.

IT IS NOT A PUBLIC STREET.

The city has "right of way" from the center of the street so far back towards my home about 6 feet into my yard...but I actually own the property up to the edge of the street pay the taxes and maintain it.

it is not PUBLIC PROPERTY...it is private property, but should the city require use of it for any reason such as maintenance of water lines, a place to shove the snow should we get 6 feet, etc. I cannot have any permanent structure there, such as a fence or out building etc. but it is my property as stated on the deed.



Videotaping neighbors doing stuff + court and fines = win win win

yeah, been doing that...they know the cameras are there and it bugs the hell outta them...hehe.

Bottom line....she's gonna have bird shit all over her vehicle.

So, you don't own the street.

Okay, then who owns the street? It's not a public street, but the city plows it and maintains it?! I've never heard of such a thing. I've heard of private streets before - in planned subdivisions. But generally (at least I thought), the subdivision is responsible for plowing.

IMHO, OP is just making up things....have you noticed every time he posts, he starts adding new claims about how bad the neighbors are?

I sincerely hope you're kidding about digging up their dog. Just keep yelling "Get off my lawn" and shaking your cane at them. ;)

It's been stated a few times now. The OP owns the property, but the city has restricted the usage of the 6 ft closest to the road. The OP owns it but can't build on it and other stuff. The neighbors are parking on his property.

The neighbors are not parking on the street, they are parking on the OP's property just off the street. Think of it as the OP's property with an agreement to allow the city in to run pipes and wires and such underneath it.

I thought this was common practice, but apparently it's not, as you and some other people aren't familiar with it.
