I am drawing amps.

So the raccoon tried the raid the cat food off the front porch again last night. Cookie was waiting for it in the bushes and what a fight! I opened the front door and they were both gone. This morning she shows up not a mark on her. The cat, not the raccoon.
 
ok, i need old guy advice.


The property I own( roughly 10 acres wooded) is on a hill, there's only a couple flat spots and really only one that would be easy to build a drive way onto that cars would be good with even in snow, there's multiple paths but the terrain isn't non-4x4 friendly. One spot we have selected for the house that over looks the pond that's in the woods(i say pond, its more of a giant puddle, maybe 20x40 ft in L x W and 3-4 feet deep, then on the other side is a creek and beyond that is the property line. Now there is an easement for access to the land locked properties to my east, it's 10 feet on each side of the line, so 10 feet on my property. Now here's where things get tricky, there is a perfect spot on the other wide of that creek for my garage/shop. However, it contains the only crossing for the huge ditch that feeds into the creek, now the easement is some 30-40 feet from that crossing and does not include that crossing. The crossing was used years ago when the same farmer was renting the ground, there is no written agreement, no verbal agreement and I am the property owner. There's no ordinances or laws that I can find at the planning commission that would prevent me from building there. The garage wouldnt fully block that crossing, but would limit it heavily. The potential property owner it would potentially affect is my somewhat estranged parents. I'm not sure if I should discuss this with them first or just build it since it is on my property. Currently, the farmer renting that ground now, uses the other side of my property to enter that field because the adjoining property that the crossing connects too is now owned by a different farmer who farms his own ground. i really need to get some pics to clear up this muddy, poor description. But I'm wondering if I'd be walking into a fire storm if i'd go ahead with my idea.
 
Mike put them up on here!


Chris I would talk to the neighbor about it first, just to stay friendly with them.

here's some shots i threw together quick.

first is the property tract, the top yellow line is the property line with the easement


the second pic, let me explain the colors. Orange is the house location, which sits on a knoll that over looks a slight raven/depression some 20-30 ft vertical drop, the pond is in the bottom of it. then the pink is a levi thats about 12 feet tall then the creek and then another levi, no the creek doesn't and hasn't flooded there ever, the levi was only made from the creek bed when in the 90s DNR dug the creek out. creek would have to raise dang near 40 feet vertically to flood, the green is the crossing in question and the red is the area I want to build the shop. I would actually build a foot bridge from the house over the creek and then down into the shop. Expensive, lots of work but it'd be worth it in my opinion.
