| Be real nice to know what state you're in for a start.
Beyond that, yer treading water in the toilet bowl with a string around yer neck tied off to a hair trigger flush valve in an ED case today.
You've played right into the airport's hand, and invested a lot of your time, and unless you documented everything, screwed yourself. Without any memos back and forth confirming your opinion of conversations with the appraiser, yer screwed.
Worse yet, yer in a pissin contest with an oponent youre financing over nickles & dimes.
Since this is a protection zone, the airport really doesn't need to own it, and in my opinion, they are blowing smoke to acquire the property ahead of need for a runway lengthening project.
As far as hiring a lawyer, for the dollar amount involved, you'll loose more than you'll ever gain. Either do some learning and prepare to go ProSe, or contact The LawyerDude on Yahoo Groups.
Had I been playing the game, I would have sent a Memo of understanding right after riding the apraiser around stating the $3000- per acre with a 99 year $1-/acre per year leaseback for agricultural use would be acceptable. That would have put the ball in their court with all kinds of slipery on the ball.
Be happy they didn't make you an offer to buy only the development rights to the land. If they had gone that way you'd eventually get screwed out of it by assessment increases. My thinking is they didn't go that way because the stated purpose of acquisition was false.
A few years ago, I would have said ABoy Plumbing -v- Tigert Or was your prescident, but since the 9 robed wizards changed the rules, there are no prescidents.
Record everything & write notes contemporaneus to all conversations.
Don't let communications arriving on Fridays annoy you. That's an old lawyer trick to screw people who don't customarily deal with lawyers. | |
