Reply #9: Normally I'd say the property owners can do as they please [View All]

and if such a law was enacted it was to head off a surge of complaints from those trying to utilize solar and are being inhibited from it from other property owners. It reminds me of the old old days (no I wasn't around for it) when they had troubles with rivers and streams. Joe was there first and diverted 50% of the water from a stream going through his property, but the new owner of the property down stream was ok with it at first until Joe used more and more of the water for his vegetation every year and the guy downstream wanted to use the water too. The trees growing is equivalent in theory to Joe using more water from the stream leaving less for his neighbor downstream. I'm not taking sides on this, but surprised it got bad enough as to that law being enacted.
