When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:
Wayspot Title: Space for Books Little Free Library
Location (lat/lon): 43.256792,-71.573331
City: Concord, NH
Country: USA
Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):
Additional Information (if any): The pin is clearly on the house-side of Peterson Cir, tucked into what looks like the front/side yard area rather than a public verge. Even if that narrow gray strip is a sidewalk, the object itself appears to be inside the residential parcel, not on the sidewalk or a clearly public easement. Unfortunately, street view is unavailable.
I notice there are two numbers on this property on Google Maps. That is probably why the report was denied. I hate these loopholes when this is clearly private residential property. Am following this post.
Thanks for the appeal, @ChicagoRay312! We took another look at the Wayspot in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
Every website calls this a single family home. Was that the decision or was it that you can’t see the placement of the library? There doesn’t appear to be a sidewalk on that side of the street so I’m confused.
From a UK perspective and trying to make sense of any implications of the 2nd house number.
This is what I would think of as 1 original home that has had part of it either split or new build as a separate property. Perhaps there is something to be found on the land register?
I would regard it as being semidetached house each being the home for a single family.
Where the boundaries are
If it is on the private property of either home it is on private property.
As an American… sometimes local laws allow a second residence to be carved out but restrict it to being a rental only, so there is no property line. In such cases the unfenced outdoor areas would be shared and, I would argue, have the same status as an outdoor space in an apartment complex.
I actually have one such property diagonally behind my house and have been considering trying a submission there.
This is a ridiculous loophole. Charge rent for a room over the garage, and suddenly it is an eligible location? Even though it is listed as a single family home?
I’m not talking one room, I’m talking a fully functional home, in many cases a separate building. In the specific case I’m thinking of, the buildings were built sixty years apart, but are on the same lot according to the land registry, and can’t be sold separately.
Because this home, listed as a single family home on realtor sites, has a separate address - which has a different street address - for what appears to be a room in the house, then it suddenly is no longer private property. That makes zero logical sense.
The decision has been made here. I am not trying to get it reversed. It is just absurd to me.
Almost every house in the Netherlands is attached to one or two other houses. We usually have a shared fence, paid by, and owned by both neighbours. So anyone who would place a LFL at the shared fence could say it is the communal area.
Let’s be honest, that would be totally wrong, even though technically correct.
Realtor sites are calling it a single family room likely because it’s setup as such. What matters is how it’s currently used. I wouldn’t consider an extra street address sufficient evidence, but submitters may have provided more info. We simply don’t know enough to make a call especially without streetview.
It sounds like what you are describing is 2 separate SFPRP in the same grounds.
The multi family buildings are when 1 building includes multiple “homes” these will normally include a shared entrance that has communal hallway etc.
Semi detached & Terrace housing are all 1 building with multiple homes but they will have individual entrances and usually (but not always) have individual garden plots.
At the bottom of our street are a group of bungalows that are reserved for older people. The garden is 1 large “communal” area so the council can easily mow the lawn. I would not consider nominating anything there.
Could be, could be not. Like I said we don’t know enough.
I’m amazed how people can confidently argue negative when all we have is a blurry unknown date satellite photo, real estate listings almost a decade old, and two recent Wayspot photos showing almost no surrounding.
“I’m amazed how people can confidently argue positive”.
Even your posts are showing that you are stating opinion “likely because it’s setup as such”, it is possible that others have a different opinion that is why the forum exists to discuss these matters.
Otherwise the whole forum would be…
OP: I have a question…
Reply: The answer is…
Close thread.
