Garett and Megan of Neosho
Garett and Megan of Neosho spent nearly three years paying off 12 acres and getting it ready for a home for their three boys. There is only one spot on the land where a house can go. They say the proposed route would run through or within feet of that spot.
That is their account. A survey still has to be checked against the map. They asked for an explanation for their own land and for other paths that would leave the house possible.
Their letter
Words from the letter
Almost three years ago, my husband and I purchased 12 acres of land that most people probably wouldn't have looked at twice. When we first visited the property, we could see something others may not have seen: the beginning of a dream for our family.
For the past three years, we have poured everything we have into making that dream a reality. We put every penny we had toward paying off the property, while spending countless hours planning our future home and discussing the life we envisioned there for our three boys.
The proposed route would run directly next to the site of our future home, within mere feet of where we planned to build.
Because of the terrain, there is only one practical location on the entire 12 acres where a house can be built. That is the exact location where we have spent years clearing trees, preparing the property, and leveling the land.
