The tone of that forum makes Beerleg look downright polite and politically correct by comparison.

I see that it's from 2005. Is that a surveyor forum or an internet speed forum? I don't get it. if you read down, he says that he "made" their plans conforming without actually getting the info for the setbacks. How is he exactly going to fix that without moving the garage? Sorry, that guy is an ass. He is probably still on unemployment.

having a hard time understanding as well. He says:

• "The clients(pair of 'em) had purchased two lots and had built a house on one of the lots and then added a garage to the house. That garage is over the property line that seperates the two lots. Thier intention is to sell the additional lot that was NOT suppposed to contain any structure at all...should have called a surveyor to begin with eh?"
• "Had it not been for the pushy nature of the client I would have had ample time to double-check all my calculations and such. My boss knows that I was a whirlwind of activity that morning I drew up preliminary plans, and he checked off on em before I left the office. I fessed up immediatly to the mistake and was fully prepared to fix the problem on my own time. The client just came unglued and was very insulting."
• "Yes I made the mistake in REDRAWING the lines for them to have a conforming lot. I made the building setbacks "zero lotline" rather than 6 foot offsets. Different zoning in different areas and I just didn't check my regs well enough."

so this guy's got his panties in a wad cuz his clients went ape crap on him for drawing his map wrong?! By fixing the problem, is he just saying he'll redraw the map on his own time, lol? And what the hell would checking the regs do for whether the garage was over the property line or not? Sounds like he works for a permitting / zoning dept of some kind. I think the 'clients' should be allowed to bitchslap him around a little.

If I understand correctly, the garage was built over the line on what was supposed to be a vacant lot. The surveyor was trying to move the lot line so the garage would no longer encroach but put the new line on the garage wall instead of on a 6-foot offset in conformance with the zoning ordinance. I don't think he had anything to do with creating the encroachment in the first place but that's a bad mistake to have to fix. Around here, the boundary adjustment would have been reviewed by the local agency for conformance with zoning before the line, not always a bad thing. And, wouldn't the location of the new adjusted line be something that would be discussed beforehand with the client?

I don't see how he can really blame the client for being upset, and the sexual orientation of said client and the fact that she's pushy are very lame excuses for getting flustered and "fubaring" the job.

Yes, I think the key is that his client owns both lots, and he's writing a legal to redefine the division line to remove the encroachment.
