He deserves what is happeining. He is an arrogant piece of s..t.
I lived a bout a mile from him up River Road when he was building the new house. He would go uninvited and unannounced with a large construction type tape measure and measure the neighbors house and yards.
TED KOPPEL SPARRING WITH NEIGHBORS OVER SIZE OF HOMES

WASHINGTON (AP) – Newsman Ted Koppel is sparring with his neighbors over the size of their homes. The anchor of ABC’s “Nightline” and his wife contend in a lawsuit that their neighbors in the posh Washington suburb of Potomac, Md., have disregarded an agreement limiting the size of homes to 10,000 square feet.
A preliminary ruling from a Maryland appeals court cleared all but two homes, but the remaining cases are headed to trial in Montgomery County, Md., The Washington Post reported Thursday. Firing back, the developers of nearby properties filed a countersuit claiming the only house exceeding the limit will belong to the Koppels’. The couple’s attorney, though, told the paper the house would be 9,700 square feet when completed.
Shirley Ballard Miller said the Koppels’ attorneys came to her house with tape measures before it was among those cleared in the court ruling. “We were all dumbfounded,” she said. “No one understood what it was about. Why anyone would care so much about every little inch?” Attorney Thomas D. Murphy – representing Koppel, 62, and his wife, Grace Anne Dorney, 63 – was not immediately available for comment. He told the Post the couple is “concerned that McMansions would overwhelm the ground, and they were willing to pay a steep price to avoid that from happening.”
The Koppels bought a 16-acre plot overlooking the Potomac River for $2.7 million in 1993. The Livingston Family Limited Partnership bought an adjacent 28-acre plot and agreed to limit construction of homes there to 10,000 square feet.
