Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hi everyone, I know I have been posting about the retreat, so I would like to update everyone, so you do not call Tom by the wrong last name. My last name is Schuckman and has been for two years. Now for all the prayers I am asking for; it seems our town has decided toget around the eminent domain issue by way of the state of Wisconsin, asking for a two feet easement of our front yard for widing of Highway 45 which is Main Street. The irony of this is they want to pay us one dollar for the two feet easement. Tom and I measured from the foundation of our home to the street edge of the side walk and it is exactly 15.5 feet. This is not much since the widing of the street involves 50 of our neighbors and this will put the semis, dump trucks, emergency personell as well as the regular traffic at the first step of our door stoop. We do not want to loose an arm when we go to our mail box which will also be affected, so we put the house up for sale. Now for the real kicker, when Tom bought this house, he did so with a VA loan, well anyone knows that the VA will not approve of a residence zoned business. The house was rezoned for business after Tom bought the house and done so without his knowledge. The same time we put the house up forsale, we looked at a house in Kenosha, exaclty what we were looking for. We put an offer on this house and then Tom made a counter offer. We are now waiting on whether the counter offer will be accepted. We did this on a contingency that we sell this place. So, I am asking for prayers on the selling and buying of the two homes. I do not need any more stress on me with my Sarc. Sharon L.
