Have a difficult client (drain commissioner) who we are trying to communicate with to little avail over a bridge project. Simply, a County Drain needs to be relocated a little for the project. When asking said D.C. what he wants to make this happen, his response is "Route and Course".
When we asked what the current ROW, he said "sufficient ground". I think he means Metes and Bounds . . . obviously, we need a title search for what exists now - but is anyone familiar with this terminology?
Relocated Withinin Or Out Of The Right of Way?
Note that the bridge easement may be different from the roadway easement.
Jus sounds like an unknowing person trying to impress.

Who knows for sure, but he may just be quoting statute!
He's just asking for how far and in what direction?
"sufficient ground", may be how the statute defines the ROW area?
Remember, most of the law writers are are Attorneys.
If you are speaking strictly about how to describe a new canal alignment, I'm thinking along the lines of route stationing and courses (directions), i.e. Route & Course. This would be similar to how a highway easement would be described.
If I was in charge of the drainage canal, I would want the description accompanied by a plat showing the results of a route survey.
When we asked what the current ROW, he said "sufficient ground"
Sufficient ground, could have been a reference to the ROW necessary for the re-alignment? In other words, prepare a description with adequate enough ground to accomplish said re-alignment?
Sounds like there is a need for better communication. I would suggest a face to face meeting.
