New people bought the house next to ours, decided to tear down an old dog kennel and put up a newer bigger, blah, blah, blah.... seen this as I came home from work yesterday. I wonder if they even considered the lot line. Old kennel was grandfathered in before the 10' variance law took effect, which was directly on the lot line.
Now, my feeling is, if they would of come talk to me or hubby, saying, we want to replace the kennel, would you mind if we put it in the same place as the old one. I would of said sure, under one condition. Make the kennel side that faces my house a solid fence, so I have a bit of a sound barrier from the dogs barking (non-stop). The kennel is on the back side of a shed, so they have the shed as a barrier for their house, (convenient). We were mowing and doing usual spring clean-up as 1st mow of the year, and by the time we got to that side of the property, they had all the material laying out in our yard, and went in the house and left everything lay. Kinda burned me.
Is this normal? Or should I be contacting someone? Of course this property was in place before the required "certified" survey, and would cost me upwards of $1200 to have it done now.
Whats your opinion?
