HARN, which stands for High Accuracy Regional Network was a current thing in the late '90s. It is seriously obsolete now. In my area it differs from t...

Water lines (also sanitary & storm) are typically owned by the public agency and not by a franchise utility. So the useage fees are a nullity. An...

"What makes you think that because a ROW was expanded, that anyone has to move anything?" Utilities do not just get to use rights of way for free. Whe...

Eminent Domain, condemnation, rural land, pennies on the dollar, simple, effective, and consistent. These are operations by which the public can acqui...

"A different way, a more consistent and possibly better, more permanent way would be to expand the right of way. All done with the stroke of a pen. Th...

"Unless i’m missing the bigger picture?" 35 miles of right of way acquisition would be on the county dime. Acquiring these easements is the utility's ...

Talk to the airline. I'm not sure of all the ins and outs, but my son, also a surveyor, has travelled with his equipment. It involves some preplanning...

"I guess you would need to know when each county road was created in order to know which criteria to apply." That is, at least, somebody would. In thi...

What I take from that case is this: Surveyor gave an estimate of $6000 (today’s money) to do a proper job and eventually accepted $300 to do a cut rat...

To be as charitable as possible, it may be that they had a surveyor come out and dig up and flag a corner or three for $500, and since a surveyor did ...

The recording fees alone in the Portland area counties for Records of Survey are pushing $500. For plats (creating new lots) the recording fees are in...

Not common, but far from unheard of. I'm willing to wager that 78/128 describes, in an ambiguous way, some meandering parcel that may or may not encro...

I rarely accept the coordinate file without at least examining the raw data. I "adjust" it, using StarNet, most of the time. The only times I might no...

"Based on this info ALONE and the info in the initial post, if you HAD to finish the survey, how would YOU depict the subject parcel and alley on the ...

1. Chris is quite correct - there can be no AP against the public. An alley is (usually) a public right of way. The adjoiners can occupy it for a tho...
