I've been jailed for operating a legal business on my own property. So much for trying to live the American Dream of being a small business owner. Anyone who drives the Dulles Toll Road can see the finished berm which has been completed for over a year. But now Fairfax County demands that 98 trees be moved to different locations, despite prior inspections and approvals. Moving the trees provides no public benefit but would waste thousands of dollars and damage the trees.
Rational people scratch their heads.
The berm is a Catch-22. Two contradictory zoning conditions require two different heights. After I've spent 30 days in jail, Fairfax County still refuses to say which berm height they want. And they still haven't told me exactly which trees are in the wrong location and need to be moved. I have a wife and three children to feed.
