For what it is worth, this geography is possibly in another category.
It is possible that the surveyor intentionally placed it wrong, planning to get a deference. "Work it out later". You know, a kick back, if it blows up, and the developer pays the "Offending" surveyors expense. I had a client offer to pay me to do something similar one time. I did not do it. IF the second surveyor noted above, had contacted the 1st surveyor, and not REALLY checked things, it could rock on for 15+ yrs (Or whatever the statutory period for AP is in RI), and nobody be the wiser, and then the developer would STILL have some of that expensive real estate, to do it again on.
Just an observation. Folks along the east coast, seem to write their own rules, in life.

I am offended by your wide brush.

Your grammar is incorrect. Too many comma's, this ain't a PNEZD my good fella.
With the name of the contractor being Four Twenty Corporation, one can infer that their judgment is altered most of the time.

I hadn't caught that first time. Good point, not a joke.

Why are you posting that picture of the Nacogdoches, Texas boy? 🙂 You didn't think we knew how to play soccer in the backwoods of East Texas, did you? 😉
As others have pointed out, this was discussed in another thread, but this is another example of bad reporting. The developer was "unaware that a surveyor error had put the foundation on land from a public park" .... However, according to the surveyor who caught the error on the behalf the of expected buyers, THERE NEVER WAS A SURVEYOR INVOLVED in any phase of the planning, design, boundary, construction, etc...
I wish the reporters would get this straight, because when you read the comments, like on the article linked above, they sure paint surveyors in a bad light.
> You know, a kick back,
You sure you don't survey in Rhode Island? You seem to know how that state works...
> Just an observation. Folks along the east coast, seem to write their own rules, in life.
Thank you for confirming that I am allowed to write my own rules... Now if you could help me convince a few million people starting with my wife I would be eternally grateful.

A lot of Dempsey fans here for many years.
Most of Dempsey's East TX experience as a youth was playing on Latino teams before his parents moved him to Dallas for competitive teams.
He then went on to Clemson and then went pro.
There is a kid from area that played as a freshman at Clemson this past season.
Anyway, Clint is one tough dude to finish that opener with his nose pointing in the wrong direction.
He is going to play Sunday without a protective mask. I hope that he does not further injure it.

The folks around here are pretty proud of him. If you get a chance, google the info on his Nacogdoches High School coach, Farshid Niroumand. His life story is fascinating and would make a great movie in itself.
Hey, they say what's in leadership, flows downhill. Last time I looked DC is on the east coast!

Now, Splendeus, I was making a joke about Malfunction Junction.
Looks like there was no survey... yup figures.

None of those folks are from here. Y'all sent them here and we're more than happy to send them back anytime 😉
Agreed. From reading through the comments, it appears that approval was given to a site plan, and the engineering firm involved had no licensed surveyor. As you stated, no surveyor was involved. The first red flag I saw was the developer called "Four Twenty Corporation". That alone would have caused a review in my area.
This was linked in the other thread, but it quotes the surveyor who discovered the error, who was working for a potential buyer:

“Carrigan isn’t a surveyor and never was a surveyor,” Lipsitz said. “I wish I could get $30,000 to do a lot survey – I would have retired a long time ago. It makes it look like the surveyor just screwed up and that’s not what happened here.”
“In a perfect world CRMC and the town of Narragansett would have required the survey that they’re supposed to require by their ordinances, and they didn’t do it here for some reason,” Lipsitz said. “Or they thought they did and they looked at it and they thought that’s what they were getting, but that’s not what they got.”
“If you’ve seen the plan that was approved here it looks like a survey,” Lipsitz said. “Except there was not a survey and it wasn’t done by a surveyor.”
“I got a nice thank you note from them [them being the potential buyers that backed out of the contract after Lipsitz survey],” Lipsitz said. “It was the best money they ever spent for nothing. Had they owned it there would have been an even bigger problem.”

ok thanks for the info.
