Our Paperwork, we can't build, we were stalled too long

The DEP AND NATURAL HERITAGE SHOW UP 10/10/ 2009 ??? check date

So, I get instructions after Kevin's home is sealed up, roof on, that I have a cease and desist. It's not a message from the Developer but one to Derrick Hale, he and CH.  We are now waiting to see if we can still build. I'm not thinking, never gave it a thought Kevin could be revengeful because I told him to move his foundation off our land, no, he was also trying to take the best location with the best view.  So, I find out more, I'm in contact with David Paulson of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and they and the DEP, Karen Hershberg want to do a walk around of the property and they have to wait till spring. That date is ---------- We are under a Cease and Desist - Verbal and Kevin is still working on his home and yes the ground is frozen. I'm saying WTF WTF to myself?


   It's deep into winter, Kevin's driveway is in and home secure all built. They continue to work, Kevin informs me he has a cease and desist as well but is allowed to work inside his home so construction continues for him, CH not allowed to touch anything. I had only seeded the lot with Meadow grass with flowers and rebuilt the Stonewall when ordered to stop on 1/12 2010???? 

I was told the cease and desist was for wetland violations for going through a wetland with the driveway and the clear-cutting of 50 acres. Well again, Why Me? I haven't even applied for an official driveway permit and can't while under the DEP and Natural Heritage orders. I am very very very confused.

  

*****FINISH ADDING DOCUMENTS: If we can find. 

  • Paperwork for Clear Cutting - fines imposed?
  • Flagger for DEP, Joe, paid $ 5,000 cash, lives in East Longmeadow MA.  
  • Joe worked for Kevin. Paid Cash. I gave Kevin 18,000 Cash Deposit, Assume DEP was paid off.
  • Hired Smith for plot layout. Receipts. Marked wetland, I was told to have it surveyed, not the Developer 
  • Orders by NH, DEP, the layout, forest, meadow grass, monuments, wetland. Would not give out information on what others had to have. 
  • Paul Smith, finished, inspected, verified Monuments, set on plot plan. Set to build finally in ----2012 - date
  •  Submitted to Hampton County deeds, paid fee. 2012 late. 
  • Paperwork for building 2012  too late in year to build, DH still in Hawaii.
  • David Paulson - satisfied, KW has his home done. 
  • Home plans purchased, see Doug Pike for receipt. 
  • Was told new road was going in long ago but never got official notification and should have been informed of blasting. 
  • Blasting occurred again in 2019. Nothing in covanuts saying we can blast. Also an out building on lot 5, Kevin OK's this???? 
  • Where is the permit for Kevin building in the wetland? No inspections ??? I was there. 
  • I told Levesque, I wanted to plant apple trees and farm the land but he is insisting it's wetlands and I have to plant his species of trees and bushes. Do I have this right to farm? Montgomery is a right to farm community? we purchased for this reason. 


Winter's here, My Developer has my $18,000 Cash Deposit and who show's up?

Picture # 1  The home is almost ready for a roof. The closest black truck is where the new stream will go, the property line and the birch tree, on our property. The tree by the picture date stamp is where the water runs across our land, frozen but visible.  I'm accused of making a culvert by the actual people I hired, Levesque Associates. It's 2019, Levesque has talked with  Montgomery's Conserva

Picture #2  So to provide a better understanding of why CH wanted his Cash Deposit back, then asked a second time, it's obvious the water has backed up to the left of the driveway. The pond, to the right of the driveway now has a new overflow ditch, the mountain is cut back to allow for his driveway. 

Seeing Kevin fill in wetland areas is scaring the crap out of me and witnessing the water accumula

Wish I had taken better pictures but I witnessed the pounding. addition of rocks to plug up the underground spring where the Excavator is, The dozer you can see is much lower than the road and is now level with the road. 

This was all done very fast, hard to grab pictures. 

Like everyone who visits the area, you look directly towards Springfield Mass, it's a stunning view and it's ashamed I'm the only one being accused of violations. I've been told the State DEP and Levesque associates force land owners to give up and sell so they can grab good land. Personally, I will add pictures, I think Ryan of Levesque's wants this land. He is a hunter, a neighbor called in the
