Rush rush job

MightyMoe · 2012-12-13T00:00:56Z

I needed to finish a 960 acre survey by tomorrow. The property was being split along a Creek into 700 and 260 acres. The client informed us thursday about it and wanted the COS ready today with the final legal. Big hurry and a really good client so dropped everything else. Finished the corner staking yesterday and finishing up the COS and legal today. I was talking to the LS who was checking the plat and mentioned I didn't understand how this would work since at least some of the property is under a conservation easement (but, this client is very informed about title issues and wasn't asking us to figure the particulars out). He said that they can't split it if it's under a conservation easement. Everyone involved knows there is this easement, but it strted bugging me. So I called the title person to ask how that worked; did we need to show it on the plat, does it include all the property, ect.?An hour later I'm getting emails and phone calls. Stop, stop with the COS. They can't split the property. If they buy it they have to buy it all. Continue the work but no split. So no COS and now I might have to survey all the property on the other side of the water; but, it's not going to be a rush. They have to rework the agreement.Guess I'm not working late tonite afterall.And I don't have to come at 5:00.Feels like a little vacation.

Pablo- at least "COS" makes sense...

I have surveyed in Montana. 42 years ago. But I was still a rodman.B-)

Another very strong possibility is that the easement cannot be split so that all future payments and control issues all involve only one party. Here, we could split the place into a hundred different little tracts with each having a piece of the easement on it. That is the type of thing they are attempting to avoid.
