Okay~ let me see, we live in a country where people are encouraged to support themselves; people who are homeless and panhandle are looked down upon. Those who worked to get what they have in life tend to not appreciate those who sit @ home drawing checks and making more babies to get even more checks and foodstamps and have all their medical expenses paid for while some of us retired folks are paying over $1200/month for insurance. And so, what is the problem here??? The man is trying to make a living to support his family. He owns this property. He’s gone by their instructions by putting up a privacy fence at his own expense, so as not to offend the neighbors or passerbyers . He was told he was legal, within the law, trying to clean up ‘mother earth’, so NOW, because one neighbor, who has a two story house nearby, who continues to spy from the top floor, who evidently has $$$ and ‘influence’ in high places, continues to try to come up with someway to make him move~don’t guess they want the property so no one will keep digging and end up ‘diggin’ up bones’~hmmm, makes one wonder!!! People disappear “without a trace”.

I think this is all getting very rediculous! Leave the man alone. He is trying to make an honest living to support his family, and all this amounts to is harrassment. You can NOT ‘vote’ someone out of their home even more so when they own their property!!! A “privacy fence” means ‘private’…no one should be looking over anyone’s fence from their home window; that’s nothing more than invasion of privacy~no different than looking in someone’s house windows!
…reporting them to the fire department for having a fire in a woodheater outside???…geez, GET A LIFE and leave the man and his family alone!!!
If you want his property so bad, then just pay for it and they may move somewhere else; harrasssing him is not going to get it!
There’s much worse property and issues the council should be addressing…like abandoned/falling in buildings, and the local drug houses…or then again, those people may be padding someone’s pocket to look the other way!

Why don’t you leave him alone….he is trying to provide a service to the community…while trying to feed his family….no I do not know this man but just use some common sense……he asked for re-zoning…and they didn’t want to do that…is someone after his protperty and want to get it from him without going about it the right way….hmmmm makes you wonder….

Maybe the town should focus on its own buildings as well. The old pharmacy on Mayo street has a tree growing out of it and the interior roof has collapsed. There’s a hole in the glass front door. It looks terrible every time I go by there to go to church or to the pharmacy. Bet if a citizen owned it there would be a real problem.

I guess that inter-local thing wasn’t such a good thing if you have to amend it everytime you have an issue. One day we say stay out of our business and the next, come and help. Once, we had a city employee that owed $4000 in water bills. Then we tried to make a poor old lady on hwy 4 pay sewer fees even though she wasn’t on the sewer. Now we are harrassing this Mr.Philyaw because we are the boss. How does this City work? What does it do?
I think we should vote Philyaw out of our treehouse club.
