+The property beside us has been cleared, two lots, for sale signs, and +they have already begun laying the foundation.

+Yes sir, I went out myself to look. It’s a driveway, albeit a really +nice driveway. I don’t know the future plans for this property but in +oXXer for them to do a subdivision they would first need to submit a +preliminary survey to this office. I have not received any requests to +split this property into a subdivision. If they do propose a subdivision +that requires commission approval, you will receive a written notice of the +date and time of the public hearing because you are an adjoining land owner.
+As to the land across from you, what information do you have that shows +this property has been divided into small lots? As an aside, the county +considers anything under 5 acres to be small lots.
+Thanks!

+Did you not send anyone out to look at it?
+I do not trespass on other people's land and I do not poach. So, I can +only attest to my own empirical observations and reasoning. At first we +were told it was going to be a house and a private lake. The last private +lake in the area emptied the source of water for the entire farm, now our +trees are dying. Then the owner changed the narrative to four houses, now +he is claiming six houses. He has been clearing land for at least a month. +We have listened to their work, even on SatuXXays, and can hear it from +within the house. They start early in the morning.
+The property across the street from us, the one I measured under +instruction of a surveyor with a laser rangefinder that cleared more than +than they were supposed to, has subdivided the property up into small lots. +What is the status of this property?

+Tell me more…..is there anything besides the width of the new driveway +that makes you feel certain the plan is for a subdivision? I’m asking +because typically with an actual subdivision, the owner will get approval +BEFORE any work is done so that they know for sure they will be allowed to +develop a subdivision. Has the owner said he is doing a subdivision? I +have not received any applications for a subdivision.

+Just checking in on your findings and inquiring about the construction +beside us. Apparently the Simmons are developing their land into a +subdivision.

+They logged that property less than ten years ago, so unless he is +selling it for pulp, the pine has not had enough time to mature for +harvest. The road they used for logging then was widened by people using +the land for hunting before the current owner purchased it. So, widening +the road further should not be necessary to complete the logging process.

+The logging stage has been completed for at least month. He has been +excavating with bulldozers and heavy machinery since. We suspect he has +encroached on our property line by a few feet, as he placed his markers +several feet inside our property. The entrance to his property has wided to +the size of a four lane highway.
+I don't know what else to say. There is no way this is going to be a home +for a guy and his kids. Which is what he told us.

+Good afternoon Mr. XXXXXX,
+The property located behind XXX XXX XX W owned by a Ms. Andrews is being +logged. The state of XXXXXXX has exempted logging activities from erosion +permitting.

+Mrs. Buice,
+I need to know what type of permits have been granted to the property +behind XXX XXX XXW. I also need a copy of his erosion prevention proposal +if it was submitted. We are being told he is building 3-4 homes for a man +and his kids. What it looks like is a massive subdivision with a three lane +entrance. It is fairly apparent we are intentionally being misled. 60 acres +have been flattened and excavated, and 5 gravel trucks just passed our +house. I need a copy of the permits and erosion plan.
+Sincerely,
