By summer's end, the lovingly tended garden avis auto rental sales in Anthony Bellosi's backyard had yielded hundreds of pounds of tomatoes, peppers, carrots, and beans; dozens of bushels of Brussels sprouts, Mexican sour gherkins, kale, and corn; $6,000 in township fines; an Oct. 9 court date, and a ton of aggravation.
A glum Bellosi recently surveyed avis auto rental sales his half-acre in Aston Township, Delaware County avis auto rental sales - the 20 raised beds he built over the last three years, the apple, plum, pear, and fig trees he planted - and braced for the worst.
avis auto rental sales Even before the last frost of spring, the 32-year-old steamfitter avis auto rental sales found himself in an escalating feud with an assortment avis auto rental sales of township officials over complaints that his elaborate grid of cinder-block-boxed beds impeded stormwater flow into a neighborhood drainage system.
It was in 2007 that the township installed a $200,000 stormwater-management system in backyards of homes on Anvil Road, long prone to flooding. A swale toward the back of the Bellosi property - owned then and still by Anthony's mother, Sandy - was the low point in the neighborhood, and thus got two sizable drains to suck up runoff from all around.
Beginning in 2009, he built a couple of beds, then just kept adding. They were as small as four-by-six feet, and as big as three-by-16, with 20-inch-wide mulch paths between. He steered clear of the drains and, he said, made sure the beds wouldn't obstruct water flow to them.
