PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A developer who mistakenly built a $1.8 million waterfront house on parkland has been ordered to remove it.
The Rhode Island Supreme Court found that the unoccupied home in Narragansett was built entirely on land owned by the Rose Nulman Park Foundation, and therefore must be removed.

1. Read between the lines. The name of the developer is four-twenty and most likely using.
"Developer Robert Lamoureux purchased the property in 1984 and subdivided it into two parcels, conveying the property to a company he wholly owns, Four Twenty Corp., in 2009."

2. Cliven Bundy follower who thinks that since nobody was using the land, the land is available for anyone that wants to use it for free?

3. Surveyors mistake. The house was built the next year using plans put together with a survey from Carrigan Engineering Inc. of Narragansett, who Lamoureux paid $30,000 for work that was later found to be wrong.

but in the near term he does not want to lose his $600k investment plus the additional $300 - $400k to remove / relocate the house somewhere else. so if he can convince them to leave the building and accept a land swap he keeps everything and they gain beachfront property. at the very least, he might convince them to leave the building standing and donate it. again, he saves the cost of demolition and restoration which will be difficult if not impossible to do.

This is why you hire a surveyor to find the property lines and stake the house foundation at the proper setbacks. I call it cheap insurance.
