erosion control needed...

No there don't...

 

Its not a roadside ditch, it basically runs between 2 properties, I thought easements cover something like this. If not then you could just build a dam and see how the town feels about that.

 

Not really. Could flow in to a detention pond. Could flow into the towns sewer system. Dont know for sure until we know the lot and subdivision.

 

Youre a laborer.

 

yep there you go...

A day laborer at that...

 

Then again you do not know until you know the subdivision. If its a sewer sub'd with curb and gutter, there are not roadside ditches, so the water from a drainage easement flows into the storm system.

If its a typical septic tank sub'd, then there are roadside ditches, that your driveway goes across, and drainage easements that run between 2 properties is there for the specific reason of letting the water run from the lots to the ditches, and then carried off elsewhere.

 

well this person said the Town came out and looked at it, I'm sure they wouldnt have wasted their time if it wasnt an easement.

 

Not saying there isnt an easement. I started my whole thing off here that the developer may be responsible for it and not the builder.

 

Maybe you, Jose and Juan can go fix this ditch, $5/hr, right?

 

Thats not true either... Towns will often address homeowner concerns to answer any questions or problems they may have regardless if it was an easement or not and then give some direction the homeowner could take..

 

That rate is up to $10 hour.... geez dude get with the times...

 

But wouldnt the town approve and accept the site plan and overall construction? As far as I know they accept everything in the right of way and I would think easements for maintenance.

 

Thanks grandpa, can I have another worthers original?

 

Private easements do exist out there...ROW easements don't go between houses..

 

I didnt say they did old man. Private easements? you mean property lines? Go lube up the backhoe for work tomorrow you bum.

 

All those that posted thank you. Those of you that sent me PM thank you as well, I will get back to you when I get home from work.

 

If it flows into the right of way, then it becomes a DOT easement as long as its a DOT road and not a City maintained road. The OP did not say the easement in question runs here or there, just that there is one somewhere on his lot. It could run sideways in his lot on to the next one or even in the rear of his lot and never touch a road at all. Like i said, you can not tell until you see the recorded map and where the easement is.

DOT will tell you though that it is the responsibility..hang on let me get the exact wordage..

"All drainage easements shall be dedicated as public and it shall be the responsibility of the property owners to maintain the drainage easements and any drainage structures there i, so as to maintain the integrity of the drainage system and insure positive drainage"

Now this is if the easement flows into the DOT right-of-way. If the easement in question is in the back of his lot, then this does not apply.

 

Which means the property owner is responsible for routine maintenance, mowing, debris removal, etc. to ensure positive drainage.

 

Bum???? LOL...I'm as far opposite as one can get being a bum.. as usual your ignorance always rises to the top... Jackass 9...

 

If it was installed correctly the first time, yes.

If you remember though, if you were in the area, about 6-7 years ago there were some owners of a few lots in Waverly Point that had drainage issues that turned out to be the developers problem since they were not installed correctly the first time. Though there was some questions as to if the builder had adjusted the easements, so to speak, during construction.

So its not always cut and dry.
