Mike,
You need to re-think your dealings with the city and the neighbors, if you
cave to them they will run you nuts.
You can play the paper game into your court by doing a Freedom of
Information Act request on ALL paper work even distantly involved in your
situation.
Include the full training files on all of the city employees that have been
involved in the situation, get and read the LAW, they would use against you,
and consider filing a harassment law suit.
Do a one page write-up on the situation, and take a petition around to
everyone within 2 blocks of your house and have everyone sign it.
You may well find that the only complaint is from a friend of a city
employee, I did!
When I had the fight with the city here, the straw that broke the camels
back was finding out that the building inspector had failed the open book
test more than 3 times to be a building inspector.
In the end they decided to "Make an Example" of a rent house across the
street, in the end the city lost the City Manager, the City Planner, the
Fire Chief (was supervisor over Fire Marshal) the Fire Marshal, and the
Building Inspector.
The last I heard several months back the owner on the $30,000 rent house was
considering settling for over 7 figures.
The write-up on the fight is under the Ancient History link on our web site.

Subject: [MV] trailers
At a local auction last Saturday, I placed 3 proxy bids
on 3 M416 trailers. I looked them over rather quickly on
Thursday. Each was painted a fire engine red for the fire
department. One had a drop mesh tailgate added, one had a
generator installed, and last one looked untouched. Each
had working parking brakes, tongue stand, military tires,
held water (raining), lunette tongue and round 6-plug
wire connector. I won the best condition one! But after
reviewing a lot of trailer pages, I think that they are a
different model M416 as I recall a rather long tub to
them. Once I get back from vacation, I'll investigate a
little further. I do recall and have noted M411 as a
number on the ID tag. It was raining rather hard and I
wasn't prepared for the weather when I looked at them. I
basically gave them a rating when I bid. Is there
different models of the M416 style trailers? All were
dated 1967/1968.
There was also a military dump (M35?) and a M715 which
had seen better days. I wanted to get the M715, but the
wife insist that I make amends with the city and
neighbors first. So I'm working on that. The M715 needed
lots of TLC and currently the garage and driveway are
full.
What this is all about is the M105A2 trailer I have. The
M715 would be nice in front of it. But the neighbors with
the city behind them want the trailer out of the
neighborhood. I've supposedly sold it and will close the
sale when I return. He's a lister here. The M416 trailer
should be more accepted...(?)
