What is the name of your state? Alaska - I have owned a piece of property next to a borough lot for twenty-five years. During this time, I have used the adjacent borough lot to erect a semi-temporary fish cleaning stand, have "fire pit" surrounded by scrap construction materials and have placed two foot bridges across a small creek that passes through the land for access to the borough lot and fishing thereon.
In addition, I have constructed a "guest cabin" (16' X 10') on my lot which has been in position for some 5 - 7 years.
I have recently been told by the borough that they want all my things (bridges, fire pit, and fish cleaning stand) removed from their property and they also want me to move my guest cabin which is 1.8 feet onto their lot.
The 1.8 feet of guest cabin is not on usable land for the borough since there is a creek running through the area and it is too close for there to be anything done with the land. The fish cleaning stand, fire pit and bridges pose no problem of any kind for the borough and the land is not usable for anyone but myself since it is a "wetlands" area.
Do I not have any long term rights for use of this area?? Is there any permits that I can obtain on a "grandfathered" rights basis??
