Is it a State owned Road,if so then the town has not got anything to do with it and then the State would have to take care of it.
Hey - watch it! Seabee may be dirty, but he's not old. Or maybe he's old, but not dirty? I forget...:jester:
There's the key words. Town of Clayton !!!! (SBCCI) Southern Building Code Congress International, or as some say, Some Beach Clayton Code Inc..
drainage easement, is not listed on the plan for the subdivision. So I am not sure where that leaves me now, other than the fact I think I will be stuck fixing it. Thanks again for your help Grinder
right of ways generally are designated to roadways.. its the area used for sidewalks, ditchlines and other utility cables to be installed...I myself don't ever recall a town or state ROW splitting house lots unless there is a designated access road between them.... those would be easements outside ROW line... if I'm wrong let me know... :cheers::cheers:
I was just curious as there's a 50' ROW between my house and my neighbor's. It's not a roadway per se, and you'd be crazy to take your vehicle down the 3' drop to get to it from the road. It's there so the guy behind me can access his land if he wants. If you ask me though, it's 50' feet of buffer between me and my neighbor's ego.
You're talking about a private easement or right of way, and SB is talking about a municipal right of way. Any time a property is landlocked, there should be a right of way to provide access to it. Also, utility easements frequently run between houses.
Ah, see, not all easements re created equal. Now I know - thanks! I have a utility easement on the other side. In fact, I think there's a 5' utility easement between most lots in my SD. I wish the developer has learned to dig better ditches in my SD - I have standing water in mine for days after it rains.
I haven't read the entire thread so I am not sure where the water flows to but here is what I can offer. ttp://www.4042.com/Local-News/Stories/CFB-Erosion-Control.html Highly recommend Frank. He does all types of erosion control & storm water control. My backyard is on his website. http://www.co.johnston.nc.us/mainpage.cfm?category_level_id=704 If the water flows into a public body of water, call Johnston County Soil & Water Conservation office and ask for James Massey. He is the director and he can help guide you in the correct direction. Town of Clayton will do nothing for these type of matters. I fought with them for 7 years and finally received some wonderful assistance from the two people I mentioned above. Depending on the situation you can't just have a pile of rip rock delivered to your yard. There are lots of rules & regulation to follow to avoid fines. If you are able to do the work yourself, ACF used to sell erosion control to the public. I am not sure they still do though. http://www.acfenvironmental.com/index.html Good luck!
I've spoken to Frank via email a couple of times - from his website it appears he knows his stuff. He answered a few questions for me regarding a project one of my neighbors was doing (cutting trees close to a stream).
Just wanted to let everyone know if you are having erosion problems like we did, that we had the work completed back at the end of Nov/Dec, and it working very well. Frank is the one that did the work. Thanks again for his info.
