Dude you hit jackpot. The only think missing is someone who knows the mayor or someone with great influence on this for your side. More ammo if needed and plus she will know what your rights and what you are owed in this. This guy is royally screwed if he doesn't play ball soon

I’m in the planning field. More than likely yea, he’d go for a variance. However, he’d have to prove practical difficulty for having to place his home where he has chosen, such as topography of his property or widespread wetlands, body of water, etc. The ZBA is supposed act fairly, to weigh his argument against whether someone else with the same types of issues would get a variance as well. It should not be a cut and dried process. Also during a variance hearing it is a public meeting (at least it is in Michigan) so other interested parties are allowed to speak either for or against the variance request.
In Michigan all property owners within 300 feet of the property in question are notified by certified mail that there is a variance hearing about the issue.
i hope Missouri is the same or has similar fair notification processes.

He could ask for a variance because he doesn’t want to cut down mature trees on his property

Would you send the tree cutter this basic message so he is aware of what you are willing to do or just keep that to yourself? I don’t know what the right play is, just wondering.

Our neighbor is getting their huge half dead elm (i think) tree cut down today 
this thing has been a nuisance for years, dropped a large limb on my garage once and cracked the roof, although I did fix it for much less than the $2K Insurance gave me
has also dropped smaller branches that broke the tips of my privacy fence and broke some Adirondack chairs in my patio
always dropped a ton of tiny stupid leaves all over my patio too
honestly was worried this was going to fall on the house or drop a limb on one of the kids so this is like Christmas Day for me
good riddance tree!

For future reference, if the tree is dead or looks like it can damage your home or property because it might fall, you can talk to your neighbor and tell them your concern. If they don't address it, you can then get it evaluated and if an arborist agrees, then they can be asked to take it down (contact your city). At their cost.Our neighbor is getting their huge half dead elm (i think) tree cut down today

If they've been notified and it ends up falling and causing damage on your side, they are 100% liable.

Good times!
lol, I was thinking that while reading your post and thoght to myself how neat it was that I have an FBG Tree guy now should I ever need one
And since I am commenting, I love the former owner of your place as much as Kristie4 hates your neighbor.

its also good that you are going in before the footings are poured to speak to planning and zoning because there is no guarantee that they would make him move them. Get your concerns in their ear before it happens, good plan

Writing a letter is an idle threat. Means nothing.
Accept his counter-offer, serve him or drop it.

This tree keeps on giving even after being cut down. Shel Silverstein would be envious and probably would steal this tree in the middle of the night.

I can accept this. But was that animal an otter? Please don't say that was a fishing trip, too.

I'll try to keep this brief.
Got the name and number of a couple attorneys and reached out to both.
Attorney #1: This is as straightforward as can be. We are 100% entitled to 3x the value. We already did all the right work. First step is draft a letter and if he doesn't respond with the full amount (~$10K), then file suit. Pretty simple. As a friend of a friend, he's going to review our email correspondence and give any advice to try and handle without this next step. Also noted the tree guys would be named in a suit (props @jb1020).
Here's where it gets good:
Attorney #2: Calls and I tell him my name and how I got his name (from our other neighbor). He immediately goes "So what is neighbor XXXX up to now?". He named bad neighbor by name without me even saying anything else. I gave a brief summary of the situation and he said "I want to come out to the property today. Send me any pictures and emails you have".
That's it....
He seemed VERY interested in this situation and called out our guy by name. I don't know what's going on, but I'm definitely very
about this.

For all of you wanna be Friday posters, this...THIS.####.RIGHT.HERE is how you update a ####### post! Can we pin this someplace as the standard?
Not too much information but just enough to add 3-4 more pages of speculation to keep this puppy chugging along for another week. All you pretenders take note, @gianmarco just dropped the mic and walked off stage...#####es

Have you done an internet search on your neighbor or his company to see if anything suspicious came up?

Building department has come out and now requested they submit a foundation survey. They won't get the permit to pour the foundation until that's done. Survey equipment now out in the lot. The dig line certainly looks to be outside the setback requirement. I'll go measure it after the workers leave for the day.gianmarco said:

I think I saw this on an episode of Fear Thy Neighbor on ID. You are about to get abducted and gang raped. Good luck.

He did the guy a favor. I'd hate to lay the foundation then be told I needed a permit.Your neighbor has to be seething

I'm not questioning that --- I'm just referencing that the neighbor likely thought he was going to get away with all this shady #### and now he is getting called out on it, having to jump through hoops, having to pay out, etc. Basically, he thought he could walk all over everyone and get what he wanted, but now isn't finding it that easy.
