STIS&F: Translate my survey information. I believe that this means:

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Apr 18 '22, 12:05

The "north" fence is not on my property
The "East" fence is not on my property
The "West/south" fence is squarely on my property but also inside a city easement.

If I do *anything* in the backyard, I should 100% not do any work past the easement lines because the city can/will destroy it if they need access.

if the utility easement is under the telephone poles, that's so they can come in anytime to fix them, trim your trees back from touching them -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 18, 13:24 1
- our easement in the front of the house meant they decided to bulldoze our landscaping to dig a new water main through our yard. -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 18, 13:25
wife says correct on all statements. Don't put any trees in the easement, but you can put moveable things on top of it. -- nm - Reagen Apr 18, 12:44 3
- landmines? -- nm - Spawn Apr 18, 12:44 2
  - Feasts -- nm - rollo Apr 18, 12:45 1
    - LOL -- nm - Mop Apr 18, 13:12
I'm not an expert, but I'd say yes to all of your items - other than you can do stuff on the easement, just nothing permanent. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 18, 12:15 1
- yeah, I'd hate to plant a bunch of trees down there and then have them ruined -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 12:18
I asked a cop about it once. He said it means "Up yours, kid" -- nm - Baruno Apr 18, 12:15
"oh gosh , a big boulder rolled through and tore the fence down. OH darn" -- nm - budice Apr 18, 12:12
don't put a structure, but you can plant and do other things.. easement doesn't mean automatic destruction, but it does mean - colin Apr 18, 12:10 4
- We don't have a good place to do a fire pit, etc. currently. I'm eyeing perhaps doing something like this because the land slopes down dramatically -- (link*) - oblique Apr 18, 12:18 [Image]
- the fence thing isn't a big deal until you want to replace or change it, or your neighbor does. -- nm - colin Apr 18, 12:11 2
  - We had this problem at our current house. As the fence aged there was a lot of guesswork as to which neighbor owned the fence and who was responsible -- (edited) - oblique Apr 18, 12:14 1
    - this is why the survey is good to have, freshly made :) -- nm - colin Apr 18, 12:14
