After owning the proper- ties for years, we recently had the property surveyed and found that the property line between us is in my fa- vor, and that a large barn with a ce- ment floor he had built is mostly on my property. What are my options at this point? I can't ask him to tear it down and start a family war. Do I have a limited amount of time in making a lasting decision? If his property is sold, or transferred to another family member, what are my options at that point? Answer: Since you both have large parcels of land, what's the impact on your land in having the barn located where your father in law built it? You didn't indicate in your letter that you had a problem with the location of the barn prior to performing the survey. If the land that is used by the barn is small and you are trying to preserve the acreage you have, you and your fa- ther in law can swap some land to keep your acreages about the same while preserving the barn in its cur- rent location. If the amount of land doesn't have much value, you can deed your father- in-law the land that underlies the barn so that it will sit on land he owns. There are a couple of options and configurations available to you and your father-in-law, as long as everybody agrees that something should be done to fix this issue. And you're smart to tackle the prob- lem now, while everybody is getting along, than to risk having the problem surface years later, when this issue holds up the sale of the land. If a land swap is not in the cards due to the costs, government regulations or other issues, you could have an at- torney draft an easement agreement that allows the barn to remain where it is for the remainder of the barn's useful life or a length of time that you and your father-in-law agree on. The easement agreement might preserve his right to continue to use the barn where it is located until, per- haps, it falls down and needs to be re- built. At that time, the new barn can be built on land owned by your father- in-law. If the barn outlasts your father- in-law, and the land is sold, the owners of the land will be on notice that the barn will have to come down and be moved. Or the easement could allow the barn to remain there forever. It's up to you and your father-in-law to de- cide. Talk to a real estate attorney in your area to give you an idea of what it would take to complete a land swap or an easement agreement, including the costs involved. You can even talk to the surveyor and ask him or her for any ideas as to how much land is in- volved with the barn and what he or she would suggest in terms of a land swap. You and your father-in-law may find that the land swap satisfies both of your goals and desires. I'm sure there is an amicable way to work it out, especially if the land is un- developed and somewhat consistent throughout. Resolve property line discrepancy MISHELLE BAUN , THE GROUP INC. P AID ADVERTORIAL A s The Group Real Es- tate celebrates its 35th anniversary it looks back with gratitude for the phenomenal success it has experienced. But it is intently focused on the fu- ture with a renewed com- mitment to its customers, communities and industry. Eric Thompson, President of The Group, joined in November of 2009. “The Group has an amazing story, and our rich history is a big reason I wanted to work here,” he said. “We will con- tinue the Group’s legacy as community leaders by giving back; as industry leaders by being innovative and highly productive, and by putting our focus on doing our very best for our customers.” In 1976, the 12 original partners of The Group were actually looking for a way to change how the real estate business was conducted in Colorado. The partners pio- neered the concept of pro- viding brokers, staff and managers an equal opportu- nity to own company stock. Also, in an era when real es- tate firms saw themselves as gatekeepers for the home buying and selling process, The Group made the then- groundbreaking move to in- clude home prices and ad- dresses in real estate adver- tisements. It would set the tone for a customer-first phi- losophy that stands today. A more recent example of this philosophy is that The Group was the first northern Colorado company to place data for sold homes on its website. Over time, The Group compiled a litany of regional firsts, including the first to hire a female manager, the first to offer a Guaranteed Sales Plan to sellers, and the first to embrace northern Colorado as a regional real estate market. It was also the first (and only) to be recognized by both Real- Trends and Realtor Maga- zine as the most productive company in the country. The shared ownership model has attracted subse- quent partners to the in- grained collaboration be- tween brokers, that adds up to better service for cus- tomers. Chuck McNeal, who joined The Group Inc. in 1994, calls it “a culture of support that’s absent in any other real estate company.” Such a culture may also explain The Group’s effort to strive for more in 1996. That year a Colorado State University study found the most important issue for home buyers and sellers was to close on the property on or before the initial contract date. “While we were good at getting contracts closed, on- ly 18 percent were closed on the original contract date,” recalled Larry Kendall, one of the 12 founders. “We be- gan to work on that. We felt it was unacceptable.” Today, The Group Inc. — which includes offices in Loveland, Greeley and Fort Collins — closes contracts on time 90 percent of the time. After 35 years, The Group is still “looking for ways to get better,” Kendall said. That philosophy is reflect- ed in the scope of affiliated services that The Group has added, and which McNeal oversees. Group Financial Partners LLLP includes firms and joint ventures such as The Group Guaran- teed Mortgage, The Group Guaranteed Title, The Group Insurance Agency, Sperry Van Ness/The Group Commercial brokerages, and Ninja Selling LLC, a nation- ally delivered and recog- nized sales training pro- gram. By providing related services, The Group eases the transaction process for clients. “It’s a better experi- ence for the customer,” Mc- Neal said. Customers can also bene- fit from the company’s com- mitment to broker educa- tion, said Thompson. The fu- ture of real estate sales is shaping up to favor the firms that continue to invest in training and innovation. “This year we launched The Group University, where Group Sales Partners and staff learn ways to help in- crease their business and lead positive, productive lives. Weekly courses cover a wide range of subjects in- cluding sales skills and tools, technology skills, and life skills. “ “We strive to exceed cus- tomers’ expectations, and having up-to-date market knowledge and highly skilled sales partners helps our customers make the very best decisions for their personal situations,” Thompson said. “As real estate becomes more complex, customers demand to work with Real- tors who are committed to a higher standard.” Thirty-Five years as mar- ket leaders is the perfect launching pad for a compa- ny with an incredibly bright future. “As real estate becomes more complex, customers demand to work with Realtors who are committed to a higher standard.” — Eric Thompson, President of The Group The Group, Inc. in Loveland, 1980 The Group, Inc. at 1401 W. 29th St., Loveland The Group, Inc. at 5401 Stone Creek Circle, Loveland Photos courtesy The Group, Inc.

Question: I have a large parcelof land adjoining my father-in-law's property, which is also

quite large. After owning the proper-ties for years, we recently had theproperty surveyed and found that theproperty line between us is in my fa-vor, and that a large barn with a ce-ment floor he had built is mostly onmy property.

What are my options at this point? Ican't ask him to tear it down and starta family war. Do I have a limitedamount of time in making a lastingdecision? If his property is sold, ortransferred to another family member,what are my options at that point?

Answer: Since you both have largeparcels of land, what's the impact onyour land in having the barn locatedwhere your father in law built it? Youdidn't indicate in your letter that youhad a problem with the location of thebarn prior to performing the survey.

If the land that is used by the barn issmall and you are trying to preservethe acreage you have, you and your fa-ther in law can swap some land tokeep your acreages about the samewhile preserving the barn in its cur-rent location.

If the amount of land doesn't havemuch value, you can deed your father-in-law the land that underlies the barnso that it will sit on land he owns.

There are a couple of options andconfigurations available to you andyour father-in-law, as long as everybodyagrees that something should be doneto fix this issue.

And you're smart to tackle the prob-lem now, while everybody is gettingalong, than to risk having the problemsurface years later, when this issueholds up the sale of the land.

If a land swap is not in the cards dueto the costs, government regulationsor other issues, you could have an at-torney draft an easement agreementthat allows the barn to remain whereit is for the remainder of the barn'suseful life or a length of time that youand your father-in-law agree on.

The easement agreement mightpreserve his right to continue to usethe barn where it is located until, per-haps, it falls down and needs to be re-built. At that time, the new barn canbe built on land owned by your father-in-law. If the barn outlasts your father-in-law, and the land is sold, the ownersof the land will be on notice that thebarn will have to come down and bemoved. Or the easement could allowthe barn to remain there forever. It'sup to you and your father-in-law to de-cide.

Talk to a real estate attorney in yourarea to give you an idea of what itwould take to complete a land swap oran easement agreement, including thecosts involved. You can even talk tothe surveyor and ask him or her forany ideas as to how much land is in-volved with the barn and what he orshe would suggest in terms of a landswap. You and your father-in-law mayfind that the land swap satisfies bothof your goals and desires.

I'm sure there is an amicable way towork it out, especially if the land is un-developed and somewhat consistentt h ro u g h o u t .

Years of Experience: Tw o

Born in Yuma, CO andmoving to Fort Collins in1967, I have made North-

ern Colorado my home for life.After graduating from the

University of Northern Colorado,I began my teaching career atWalt Clark Middle School in theearly 1980s. I joined the Love-land volunteer Fire Departmentin 1988, then had the opportuni-ty to join the fire department fulltime in the fire Prevention Bu-reau. I spent the next 15 years atLFR engaged with the develop-ment community, city, county

and regional government andemergency response. I workedmy way up through the depart-ment ranks serving as fire in-spector, lieutenant, captain, firemarshal and achieving my high-est rank as division chief andemergency manager. I then hadthe privilege to serve as thehealth, safety and security man-ager at Platte River Power Au-t h o r i t y.

After serving 24 years in thepublic sector of employment, Idecided to venture into the pri-vate sector and began my life inreal estate. To date, I have foundthis profession to be as reward-ing as my career in the fire ser-vice. I am able to help people ful-fill their dreams of home owner-ship in addition to helping thosewho are in trying times and needhelp.

Front Range Gardening

CA RO L O'MEARACSU EXTENSION, BOULDER COUNTY

It’s nearing time for bud swell onmany of our woody plants, whichis a welcome sign for gardeners

in spring. After the cold descendsand frosts the breath in our lungs,the warm up that follows gets oursap rising, and head out to the land-scape and stroll around.

We pretend that we’re just out toget some fresh air, but we’re onlyfooling ourselves; we can’t walk theyard without wanting to do some-thing to it. And now that we’re outof the deep freeze for a few days, thisis the perfect time to prune.

Woody plants suffering snow dam-age, needing a canopy thinning, orrenewal from old age will benefitfrom a nice haircut, but clipping aplant that needs pruning can be alittle daunting. Between branchesgoing everywhere and a desire tokeep the plant looking nice, manygardeners freeze at the brink ofmaking the cuts. What stays andwhat goes? Will the plant look niceafter the pruning or will it cry outfor a giant hat to cover the blunder?

Pruning need not be a reason forpanic. Start simply, by removing anybroken or competing branches; of-ten this thinning reveals otherplaces that need a trim. Competingbranches are those that rub againstone another or block other shoots.This rubbing causes wounds in thebark that allows disease to enter.Prune one branch off to allow roomfor the other to grow.

Once this is completed, stand backand look over the plant to see if thepruning for health has left the plantmisshapen, and consider what othercuts will help the plant maintain its

form. Pruning is not a race, and gar-deners who flail about with a sharptool and no plan can expect to havestartlingly awful plant shape. Consid-eration of the plant’s form is as im-portant as the cuts themselves.

Removal of up to one-third of theplant will be fine, provided the tree isyoung. Should it be more mature,removal of up to one-quarter of theoverall plant is the limit. Truly an-cient trees should be given evengreater care; don’t take off morethan 10-percent in one season.

If you choose to partially prune abranch, and not take the wholething off at the trunk, make the cut(called a heading cut) one-quarterinch in front of a growing bud.Choose a bud that will grow in a di-rection that is outward from theplant and will not cross otherbranches. If the plant is near a walk-way, choose a bud that will growabove head height or away from thewalk.

Should the entire branch need tobe removed, make the cut one-quar-ter inch in front of the branch collar.The collar is a ridge of slightly thick-ened wood surrounding the junctionof branch to trunk. If care is takennot to nick this collar, the woundwill seal over and the tree will re-main healthy. Longer stubs of morethan a quarter inch will not allow thetree to seal the pruning cut, andlook nubby and unsightly on thetree.

Cut out water sprouts and basalsuckers (the vigorous uprightgrowth shooting up from branchesor from the base of the tree). Thistype of growth is usually weak,doesn’t attach to the branch strong-ly, and is considered undesirable.Prune it completely off.

There’s no need for wound paint or

sealants; the tree will seal off thewound itself.

Remember, go slow. There are morewarm days ahead of us and you canclip a few branches here and there asspring approaches. But the real art isknowing when to stop pruning, sostep back after each cut and assessthe plant.

Grow bags and pota-toes make the per-fect pairing.

The containers take uplittle room, can be placedwhere they get good sunand eliminate much of thelabor required for growingpotatoes. You can disposeof the spades and gardenforks.

“No more digging toplant or digging to har-vest,” said Frank Oliver,head of product designand development at Gar-dener’s Supply Co. inBurlington, Vt. “Po t a t o e sare one of the most labor-intensive food crops togrow in the garden. Butdoing the growing in bagsminimizes much of thework... . Just turn the bagsover when the potatoesare big enough to eat.”

Grow bags aren’t a newidea. People have beenmaking their own for yearsfrom such things as plasticgarbage bags, wire bas-kets, whiskey barrels andb u c ke t s .

“What’s new about it arethe space-age materialsthat are available,” saidJim Gerritsen, co-owner ofWood Prairie Farm, a mail-order house specializing inorganically grown pota-toes near Bridgewater,Maine. “These pots allowplants to breathe, retainwater longer and can beused for several growingseasons. They’re fuelingthe container trend.”

The new fabrics resem-ble the black, plastic-likesheets used by landscapersas weed barriers beneathlayers of mulch. They al-low water to escape ratherthan pool at the bottom ofthe bag, and let air infil-trate the soil, which keepsthe potatoes’ roots fromrotting and becoming sus-ceptible to disease.

About one in every fiveof the nation’s home gar-deners grows potatoes,said Bruce Butterfield,market research directorfor the National Garden-ing Association.

“What I found interest-ing was that almost half ofall those who grow food athome, or 48 percent, growsome kind of food in con-tainers,” he said.

Potatoes can provide abountiful harvest, but re-quire attention.

“They’re gluttons,” Ger -ritsen said. “They like a lotof food and water. But ifyou take care of them,they’ll take care of youwith surprisingly large re-turns.”

Planting can begin inearly spring — anywherefrom six weeks to shortlybefore the last killingfrost. Find a site that getssix to eight hours of sun-light per day. For best re-sults, buy certified disease-free seed potatoes.

You can plant smallpotatoes whole or slicelarge potatoes into sec-tions containing two orthree “eyes,” which aresmall indentations wherebuds form. Place themeyes up in a layer of pot-ting soil about four inchesfrom the bottom of thecontainer and a foot or soapart. Cover them with adirt-moss mix that retainsw a t e r.

Mound the soil aroundthe plants as they grow togenerate more tubers,which form along thestems rather than at theroots. Continue moundinggradually until the con-tainer is full. It’s time toharvest when the vines dieback.

Beware, however, thesepotato-growing errors.Don’t:

— forget to water. “Ifpotatoes get dry, you’rec o o ke d , ” Oliver said.“They don’t toleratedrought. I recommend us-ing a watering tray forpots — especially in areasthat consistently getabove 90 (degrees).”

— crowd the pots withtoo many plants. “More isnot better,” Oliver said.“Use fewer plants and gethigher yields. Use betweenthree and five potatoeswhen planting in a con-t a i n e r. ”

— overfeed. “I recom-mend a slow-release or-ganic fertilizer that willnurture the plants over anentire season,” Gerritsensaid. “Give them toomuch of a (chemical) joltand you’ll get a sturdyplant with a whole lot offoliage, but at the expenseof a sizable crop.”
