I should point out that, while the article and everything is a GOOD thing, it is not exactly the IDEAL thing that COULD have happened. See, all Crossmann's did was file a quitclaim on the area THEY designated as the cemetery. This area is less than one-fourth of the 1/4 acre that was called for as the "exception" in the deeds. I keep trying to point out the idea that ONE QUARTER of an acre should still be accounted for in a legal document. My thought is that the descendents of the last landowners to have clear title to it (Thos & Margaret Lewelling Followell, 1870) should be able to file a Quiet Title on it and have one-quarter of an acre declared the property of the descendants of the FOllowells. They could then, as legal owners with a DEED, re-deed the rest of the acreage that didn't turn out to be a cemetery over to the developer since he is already using and profitting from it. THat would give a clear TITLE to all of the acreage in the tract. As it is now, the cemetery is no different than 2/3rds of the other little ones around here. It may be a separate parcel, but the owner of it is just the cemetery, with no address or contact to represent it. WHen it comes to maintenance I WANT THE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE TO BE RESPONSIBLE for it! I know that sounds crazy, but if the developer, who in this case has already been purchased by another larger corporation, maintains it, they "call the shots" as to who mows it, who they are to answer to if problems arise, and the general upkeep of it. A developer, like a landowner, comes and goes and is not permanent. A government entity is more reliable in that, if they don't do a good enough job, complaints can be filed and eventually they will have to answer for it. I just see this as another little technocality that gives more back to the developer than they should have. But, I will admit and shout praise for the fact that this could have gone so many other ways that would not have resulted in any respect whatsoever for the cemetery. I guess I should be thankful for what I got instead of complaining about what I didn't get! Cris
