Description
We complained about this almost a year ago and HG&E responded promptly. However, although they agreed the pole placement was unacceptable, they couldn't do anything because the pole was placed and belongs to Verizon. Rather than moving the pole to a nearby suitable location within three weeks as they noted, they instead chose to attach the wires, transformer, and guy-wire and completely ignore the issue and plow forward.
Their actions have resulted in a complete "taking" of all beneficial use of our entire rear property boundary and access. That being said, I will be seeking a tax abatement for this impact to our beneficial use. Moreover, we also care for a handicapped person that requires special accommodations to safely get him to and from vehicles transporting him to various appointments. Since Verizon doesn't seem to care about these considerations, we will also be seeking the assistance of your local ADA administrator to help us advocate for these interests.
