Hey Lifer how about backing away and calm down. Geez...its a conversation and I for one would love to know IF I wanted to change my pier I could. I dont want a 90' pier but I have other "blocking view" issues as well as sq ft issues with mine that I could change if I was not mandated by AP otherwise. So to some of us it does matter what the actual rule is. Never even knew there was a possiblity the easement was not associated with the deed. I also dont have any debt on my property so they have nothing to put a lien on. Open up a little bit and realize just maybe there is some truth to the story and that there really is a "secret" that AP tries to hide and avoid.
Ridiculous how defensive you are about something you dont care about. How about just removing yourself and then you dont have to worry with someone asking questions and soliciting information. I kinda thought that was what this forum was about. It's Friday...go find the spirits and lighten up some.
