More About IMUDS

I left you last with opting out of IMUD. My contractor called me to tell my surveyor to put everything together to opt out. The city said it should not be a problem to opt out. So good ol Tim goes to work and finds out from the city exactly what is required. One of the requirement is to get all of the current land owners to agree to my opting out. We got the names plus one that we thought was an owner. This individual has been very verbal about not sign ing if my opting out wasn't an advantage to --. The other day Tim showed me how to ,and where to go to pull up deed, property transactions etc. So I started looking, I can't find anywhere that this person is a land owner in this IMUD. I did find where this person had entered into an agreement with the land owners of a parcel putting restrictions on the property they owned next to where this person operates a business. It was formed in Feb or March of this year and marked urgent.Note that this agreement only talks about the 2 front properties. In conversation it has been implied that the individuals that own the abutting propery and (this person) are partners. This person advised us that nothing would be signed until the partner could come to NC from MO and not until the middle of Sept. On friday when my contractor advised me of this he said his friend the owner of the other piece of property would agree any signage and lets just stay in-Not after this. The other owner has the property listed. So look what I am stuck with for the next 10yrs-a strong arm who wants to dictate what everybody else does in the complex and is not even a property owner. An aside-While surfing Guilford County web site I found a document describing restrictions-that I asked prior to purchasing the propery if such a document existed(was told no by Jim Bishop the broker for the seller) on the property (IMUD). My main concern is if I am to allow all traffic in the complex to pass through my parking lot it would be an undue hardship and wear on my parking lot and then I would be the one responsible for maintaining it. Parking lot pavement is expensive. In the zoning meeting my lawyer assured me that I" got what I wanted". There are still people around that tell me that isn't true. This week I tried tocall my lawyer for clarification and can't get a returned call. Guess what firm drew up the document regarding restriction with the unnamed indivual non owner-the same firm I use. I wonder is this the reason I can't get a call back. Come monday I have a lot checking up on things, see patients, help train a new employee and .... I won't say I wasn't warned but much of this seems like a lot of inefficient use of time. I think of the people that aren't fortunate enough to have a surveyor like Tim Duncan with KennedyDuncan. But you know what he was raised right here in Deep River and I know was raised with ethics of the good ol country. Now I have this off my chest. Will let you know later what follows. This is such a good forum for me not to be whitching about this all the time. Again I Thank God for my intuitive senses and people like Tim Duncan and all you people that bear with me through this. Now God help me be strong and react in the manner that we are called. I fail at times and ask His and your forgiveness when I do. Claire
