Just an update- much to the dismay of senior members, I am sure, we have not contacted a real estate lawyer. Lo Siento! We have given the developer the amount we felt was reasonable($5000) , and he said 'no way!'. He has not contacted us since, but is using a borough engineer to try to influence us-the same guy that told us $250 would be reasonable in the beginning is now trying to talk us into $2500. I told him that in no way is he a mediator of financial discussions between us and the developer and to stop calling us. I also called the Borough and complained that I am tired of some of their persons who love the phrase-'it's in the boroughs best interest'! The whole thing is getting quite amusing to me now, and I'm enjoying ruffling some feathers-my neighbors came up to us out of the blue and said-"Don't give them that easement!"....I told everyone that the ball is in the developers court, end of discussions, and no negotiating-they have our offer. Sorry so long to those with short attention spans/limited time. 2k2dggr
