We've owned a historical building since 1970,
And have been restoring it with the goal of opening a business. The neighbors have moved the county road to the other side (onto our property) of our building up against the building driving over our septic tank system and sidewalk, causing damages , the septic tank lid is crushed and caving in, the road build up by the county maintenance has caused flooding into the building as well as our home behind the building. The county does not have an easement through our property we've requested that the county let us dig up the lid and repair these damages (on our own property) they tell us they'll send detour signs We've been hindered by the county for years, as we're not permitted to continue with the pursuit of making a living. As well as our property being damaged.
Our rights have been violated (the 5th amendment: nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation) They've NEVER offered us compensation or offered to repair the damages from the public driving over our septic system or damages incurred to our home and building from the flooding due to build up from county maintenance dumping gravel on our property, and will not allow us to repair our septic on our own property. And still continue to drive over top of us to this day.
Back in 2006 we discussed with the road Dept about the road and a sign, they brought us a road sign and put it where the road was originally, we've been mowing and weed eating around it since 2006, they never came back to correct the road situation, the county retained the county road property by placing the road sign in the correct location while "Taking" our property.
The county has held our land and septic hostage, we've been treated cruel and unusual by government officials. We can't even get our septic pumped out, the health department can't even inspect ,we've had the health department to come look but he said he can't help us. But he did tell us we couldn't go any further. As far as eminent domain, we've been using our property, Everytime we flush our toilet, we've literally used that property the road is now on,
I've attached a copy of our survey the blue highlight is where the county road should be , the red highlight is where the road is now, the green arrow is our septic tank and system. And a photo of the sign they brought us back in 2005
