I hope houses come down and Developer, Engineer and Surveyor are all sued.

I am just reading this, but is it even remotely possible the guy who owns the little bit of property that was affected wants to not be an a$$ and maybe cash in by selling his property for a stupid high amount? Has that been covered?

So, he wins and the council goes to vote, and he votes "Yes". Then, he promptly resigned. Turns out that Rouzan/Spinoza were secretly funding his campaign the entire time.

You are accurate with that assessment. It was Mickey.

Nothing was stolen. It was Spinosa's property. The plaintiff's just had a servitude across his property. It appears it was something they didn't use. He tried to relocate it. In doing so, he made it 20', not the 30' they had previously. Pretty dumb move on Spinosa's part, but it's not like he took someone's property.

Technically it is a "30' Right of Passage" as opposed to a "Servitude. From my understanding, you can relocate a right of passage and you can not relocate a servitude. Plan A was to have the Hoovers and Welshs zig zag through Rouzan to get to their homes. Since that didn't work out, Tommy will just go to Plan B and relocate the right of passage with a more direct path to their homes. As the property sits now, that can be accomplished via Arrowhead and then a slight bend to the original Right of Passage. It's actually pretty simple access.

No homes will be torn down.

This is correct and it should be noted that Spinosa designed a maze of one way streets and alleys almost certainly to make life suck for the property owners trying to pass through. I used to ride my bike through there daily and it wasn't like that until he changed all of the streets. I think that is likely what really pissed off the plaintiff's. I know it would have pissed me off.

That's part of what pissed them off, the other part was when the contractors drove over their servitude and broke their water and gas lines. They got the water fixed quickly but no one would fix the gas with the construction going on. They did not have hot water for quite some time.

That really started the lawsuits.

Doesn't matter if he files for bankruptcy or not. His BONDING company is on the hook. They will pay.

WTF does bankruptcy have to do with this??? He won't be out of pocket a single penny! He might be named in a suit, but he's not at fault.
The suit would include EBR METRO COUNCIL, Planning & Zoning, Permit Office, title companies, abstract companies.......

"Technically", a right of passage is a type of servitude.

I agree. I think it is likely that they will end up settling for another suitable location for the servitude of access.

Yep. I was going to let that go but since you corrected him... I would know, I have one of these and the neighbor who owns the land (I have the Right of Passage) fricked with me two years ago and got a lawyer involved.

The dumb bitch complained that I wasn't cutting the grass often enough for her taste and had a lawyer send me a threatening letter that they were going to turn me over to the City Parish. Problem was that they both thought I owned the land and she had Right of Passage. In actuality, it was her property and my Right. I sent them a hardy frick YOU (literally wrote that) and told them to start cutting their own damn property since I had been doing it for years without complaint. I quit maintaining it and she now has to pay a yard service. It is deeply satisfying every time I see that lawn service out there at her expense.

This is a pissing contest involving a developer and someone opposed to development.


These people own homes that can't be accessed by first responders and life-saving public service entities. Do you have any idea what that inability does to the continued insurability of their home? To the value of their homes? If the city says they can't get a fire truck or EMS back there, as a homeowner your property value is going through the floor instantaneously.

It's not a pissing contest. The developer knowingly screwed over the existing homeowners and he KNEW he was doing it and then fought them legally for years saying he had the right to screw them.

You keep mentioning the homeowners in Rouzan. What about the people getting screwed who own the homes already there who had to sue to make this guy do right by them?

It's like you live there or have a vested interest in purposefully ignoring them...

It's my understanding that type of servitude can be moved or relocated, correct?
