The red tentacles of Strafford County Regional Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n

To the Editor:<\/p>\n

Do you own property? Do you maintain your property? Do you pay taxes to the city, to the State, to the Federal Government? Be forewarned! The Red Tentacles of Strafford County Regional Planning (SCRP) may be \u201crummaging\u201d around on your property when you least expect it, even when you are not around!<\/p>\n

This Ad Hoc Agency is out of control! They are attempting to usurp the land rights of citizens, incrementally, one \u2014 Agenda 21 ACT \u2014 at a time!<\/p>\n

One afternoon several \u201cUNH College Seniors\u201d drove up next to my property!<\/p>\n

They weren\u2019t lost! They were checking drainage culverts \u201con my property\u201d!<\/p>\n

I was\/am, not happy with this project and it\u2019s effects on my property rights as a citizen. One mentioned the possibility of poor drainage while checking the culvert on my property! There had not been any rain, so there wasn\u2019t any water! I gave them a short summary of the sources of water.<\/p>\n

I was polite and helpful, I thought! One of the \u201cstudents\u201d then mentioned the City of Rochester will be advised to clear the vegetation around my culvert! <\/p>\n

What! I clean this yearly and have done so for 27 years. Secondly, the city has no business cleaning \u201canything\u201d on my property! This same person tells me a triangular stone that has been there since I moved here, is restricting the flow of water! A major bridge was destroyed, in 2006, on this road by Route 202 a few years ago, this stone was in place then! Water that strong would certainly have moved such a small stone. It has never restricted water flow. Hearing this nonsense yet again, they were ordered off my property!<\/p>\n

That stone was in place before he was born!<\/p>\n

I have to ask the following questions:<\/p>\n

Under what authority does the SCRP group operate?<\/p>\n

Under whose authority does SCRP designate these students, or anyone else, to go onto private property?<\/p>\n

Under whose authority do these students think they can \u201cdelegate work\u201d to city workers on private property?<\/p>\n

This is yet again, an SCRP group pushed Agenda 21, which this city, and many others around here, have voted Not to participate in! These grants only go to expand their power and \u201cthiefdoms\u201d! Your rights and or freedoms are of no concern to them! <\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t serve my country in the military to give up ANY rights to this totally socialist agenda! Even if I had not served, I would be just as outraged!<\/p>\n

The next group will inventory your trees!<\/p>\n

SCRP members \u2014 Stay out and off of my property!<\/p>\n
