Build Your Home Here? Didn't Think So.





So, these are some images of the lot line that connects to my property. If you follow on past this large drainage structure you would reach the road that has buckled, and cracked, along this same route and contour. Seems the problem goes on for a loooong way. How can Consort fill these lots? They can't. Why not? Look at the large sewer in the middle of the picture--this large concrete drainage pipe. Look at the pictures of the road previously. All of this is necessary drainage, natural drainage. To fill these lots up to prevent this drainage, as Consort seems to think would be a grand idea, would impair the ability (and necessity) of the land to drain properly. The large aquaduct/sewer/drain with the stones surrounding is actually on a lot being offered for sale (incredible!!) and connects along the natural route to my lot and others in the opposite direction. Again, THESE LOTS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OFFERED FOR SALE. OUR VALUE IS LOST.

Something else I've recently noticed: Consort building a "market home" two lots over from my north side. At first I scratched my head, wondering why a market home on this flooded area? (They already have another market home for sale for almost 2 years now.)Then, AHA!, it clicked. The market home is being built upon a parcel of land that had sunk, and flooded so extensively (again, on the route of drainage), that there was a pond on the same. A pond deep enough for ducks to swim and graze. I can only assume that after showing this lot to potential buyers month after month, all all balking (rightfully) at the flooded parcel, they decided it would be better to just go ahead and fill that big pond up with some mud, and quickly build a market home. Thus, hoping for a better chance to sell it. Of course, this lot is on the natural drainage route, with a sewer just adjacent, and will very likely continue to drop and flood as mine has.

I, fortunately, took pictures of this pond some time ago and will be posting those as well!

Finally, notice the picture of my lot and the severly angled island of landscaping. You can be sure that my landscape designer and I didn't purposely intend to bury a maple tree 15 inches deep in a drainage route, nor did we think it would be artistic to build an island tilting deeply on its side.
