I built my house and I used to have a nice view.The course was flat behind me.My house is built pretty close to the course.The new owners are redoing the course which is fine but right at the property line there is a huge hill maybe 20 or 30 feet high and is leveled out at the top where the top of the green will be.It totally blocks a view and even blocks some of the sunlight.I feel fenced in.Everybody that sees it thinks it is terrible that they are doing that.I called the county and the man went out to see it and didn't see any ordinances that they were breaking but said he was on my side and could defintely see that I would be upset considering what it was. What options do I have for getting them to change this?

some places there are what are called "set back" laws...and some places DO have ordinances-especially for businesses that state they have to petition and ask all the surrounding neighbors if they would allow them to make the changes. You should contact your city council, and file a petition against the new "hardscaping".

You have no options.They do not have to move that dirt pile just so you can have a view of pretty property that is not yours.But if you have small children and that dirt pile being so large and it could be a danger to children they would have to put a fence around the pile.Almost all states has the no tresspassing law however if the child is too young to read the sign or if the child does not understand what tresspassing is then the owner of the property must make the property safe for little ones that might go on their property.

Your best shot: Get together with neighbors and write up a petition to stop the hill from being formed. You may not have enough neighbors to fill the petition so ask people in your neighborhood to be sympathetic and sign the petition even though it is not affecting them personally. If you can not get enough signatures you have two more options: Live with the change, or move.

Most liekly, NONE. Unless there was a written agreement about this prior. It is their land to do with as they choose. You could move.
