My house backs on to the eastern boundary of the Parke. My backyard was considered wetlands as was 25 to 30 acreas west of my home. I hired an attorney but could not get anyone else to share the cost but he did uncover one thing of interest...without a public meeting they allowed a change from rural type roads to urban where curbing would be useful to the builder to prevent flooding on eastern boundasry homes. I remember having Jeannie Lynch look over the area where 5 feet of fill covered land as far as one could see and she said " My God did wwe do this" To my knowledge no one from MDE ever got involved or did oversight. Centex has used pilings on all of the acreage whwere fill was used to bring the land up to 5 ft elevation. ED |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Interesting you mention the billboard ban in Vermont. Some years ago Jeannette and I drove through Vermont. Something seemed strange, then all of a sudden it struck us - there were no billboards. I'm not sure of the issue you raise about a developer dumping on wetlands. Where are you talking about this happening. Whatever happened it was not a decision of the county if the area were truly wetlands. The Corps of Enginerers would have been the controlling entity. Government, unfortunately, tends to look at short term gain, not long term pain, when it comes to regulating inevitable development. |
