Is it Legal for Bourough to Move Road Onto Our Property?
We have had a septic system on our land for 10 years and owned the property for 20 years . The bourough wants to move the road into our property over our septic system. Is this legal? I thought the septic system has been there so many years it’s a permanent structure? Our Ohio home is next to a undeveloped builder-owned lot. The builder does a terrible job of maintaining the property. We cut our lawn frequently and have our lawn treated. The undeveloped lot is not cut regularly or treated. In order to protect our yard from issues associated with this untreated property (weeds, etc.), my husband has maintained about 20 feet of that property adjacent to our yard for the last nine years. I purchased a commercial building in Maryland and attempted to get an occupancy permit for a tenant. The town conditioned approval with a request for me to grant easements to the town for the maintenance of sewer lines running under my property and to enter my property to inspect them. These easements, if granted, would severely limit my ability to add on to my building and park in my lot. If they don’t agree to negotiate more favorable terms (to me) can I cap off the sewer lines with impunity? May they condition an occupancy permit on an unrelated grant of an easement to them? City wants a pipeline easement across a small section of the backside of the property. Now heres the question – if I take their ca$h, and later after the work is done , water or gas line leaks show up, say in my yard, is the city liable? I just bought a house and decided to install a privacy fence next to my neighbors house. After digging the post, we discovered PVC piping on my property. Apparently the neighbor says he did not know about the piping which happens to be his sewer and is in the process of trying to get an easement. Can I make him move the sewer line? Can I cut it off my property and cap it off? What are my options? We were recently sent a letter from the local sewer authority requesting that we sign the attached right-of-way agreement and grant of right-of-way for an existing sewer line on our property for the sum of $1.00. Should we do it? My village took some of my property. They advised me to get a survey to challenge it. Now they have eminent domain proceedings against me for that property; can I get my expenses for the survey back during the proceedings?
