The following "along convenient lines of all lots in this addition" appears in the attached instrument, anyone have a guess as to what a 'convenient line' is?
Not wanting to give location of each monument along boundary that probably were not located on the ground.
Since it's for a utility easement, I would guess that it"s along any lines needed for the best route for them to run the utility. It would imply, to me, they can stay within 5 feet of any property line in the subdivision.
I'm guessing that since it is in relation to utility easements, it is along whatever line(s) the utility companies deem to be convenient to install their utilities.
Ambiguities in historic documents, particularly easements and R/Ws, generally tend to yield in application to the location of the utility appurtenances.
The good news is the restrictions on hard liquor, and honky-tonks has expired.
I pulled the plat, there is a 5 foot Utility Easement along the rear property line, I am assuming this is the convenient line.
You may be able to find a deed where someone only brought one Lot, and see if they used the 5 foot utility easement line or used the same language and called it convenient line again.
We are in the process of re-platting the lot and have looked at other lots that have been re-platted nearby, they only show the original platted 5' UE.

i have a vague recollection in the back of my mind that use of the word "convenient" as it was used in this instrument is based on the word's Latin roots. In that sense, the "convenient line" would be the common line that in its segments makes up the back lot lines along which the easement runs. Maybe I am crazy. Been suspected of such for less...
Makes sense.
