an easement is an interest, it is not an estate in real property to which someone holds title.
Road dedications are often made and accepted on the Plat in West Coast States.
In new jersey, we must record the dedications and easements prior to the filing of a map if said dedications or easements are dedicated to the county or state. All other easements are created when the map is filed.
Interesting. Here we simply include the appropriate representative of the receiver of the dedication (such as a city or county), add a statement of acceptance on the plat and have it signed along with all of the other necessary signatures. Then the plat is recorded.
Their signature provides the proof of acceptance desired to satisfy the platting statute.
@norman-oklahoma I agree with you. @dougie you could check if the County still has records of the conditions of plat approval from their plat approval process (public hearing or platting authority short plat actions). If there was a requirement of plat approval for a sight easement, or something else, that might show intent of what was required for plat approval, even though the dashed line is not labeled. If that's the case, there might be some remedy to clear it up based on that information, not sure what that might be, but maybe something filed by the County asserting rights to a sight easement (if that was the intended encumbrance required for plat approval), but that is a legal/title action and not a survey task.
Sometimes the simple questions turn into a complex bag of snakes.
I understand the mechanics behind the easement. My point of my reply is that the County or State wants the easement recorded before the Plat can be filed. The easement deed book and page must appear on the plat when it is filed.
To me, it is backwards doing it this way. If the map is not filed or the project falls through, you now have interests hanging out there that are creating huge title problems. Not to mention the fact that the tax lot and block is reciting a "portion of Lot X, to be known as future Lot X.01"
