undefinedWhat is the name of your state? Indiana
Our home is on a lake and we have lake access and a boat dock. Our lake access is a deeded strip of land that leads to our dock area. We did extensive work on our sea wall and retaining wall. In the process, we had to move our boat dock over to the left because our dock was overlapping the neighbors on the right. The contractor told the neighbors on the left that we would PAY to have their dock moved over a little so our docks would not be so close together. The neighbors told the contractor 'no, don't move our dock, we'll get back at them by putting up a privacy fence to block their view of the lake'.
Well, they are in the early stages of having a privacy fence put up. This fence will block our view of the lake from our deck and all windows in the back of our house. I called the county commissioner and he wasn't much help so I'm visiting his office tomorrow. Even if the neighbors got a permit and providing everything is legal, I still feel that this privacy fence will reduce the value of our home and deny us the right to enjoy our home to the fullest.
Help!
