Its the road that the home owners want cut that is the problem, that's what im getting at..
The only direction they can go is from the top of seven springs, past gunnar chair. They don't want a road running down lost girl because it would mean they could no longer plan on expanding to the western territory.
One of the biggest issues in this whole case is the fact that the property the house was built (along with a few more on the same road) actually slipped right through seven springs fingers when it came up for sale in the first place..
Seven springs was playing the waiting game for years trying to buy up that land, as well as white mountain..
The only other factor was the state forest, and they were trying to reach an agreement with them over the lease on the rest of the land.
