Please consider how you would feel, and what you would do, if over 7 years after building your home you became aware of the following plot involving your previously promised rightful access to your home and the surrounding land of your dreams. 

The Town's October 8, 2009 letter involving "any way" Underhill town officials could “rescind” prior promises and reasonable access to Mr. Demarest's home, with concise clarification on some of the letter's complete misrepresentations, is available here, as images below, or directly on Pages 6 and 7 of February 20, 2014 Mountain Gazette. 

Clearly in 2002, there was no way to have predicted the eventual Taking of reasonable access and privacy at Mr. Demarest's home unless the clique of Underhill officials conducting regular executive sessions outside of public interference had warned him of their intentions. In addition to hiring an attorney to review the land records, Mr. Demarest even "personally met with the local Selectboard prior to purchasing NR-144." (¶138 on A-56 of Roads-To-Trails Takings Case Appendix). 

(Note: Mr. Demarest accepts responsibility for a truly small small typo when he publicized this letter: the non-deferential Vermont Superior Court Ruling finding “the Town’s 2001 attempt to reclassify TH26 was not valid…” was dated May 31, 2011, as opposed to May 11. This prior non-deferential Court Order on the merits was included as Exhibit 3 of Demarest's Memorandum in Opposition to Motion to Dismiss, viewable beginning on A-183 of Appendix to Roads-To-Trails Takings Case).
