That was the odd part -it was simply a point on the property line - nothing special about it, and about 50 yards from the corner. The town had nothing to do with the survey - I believe the father of the adjoining property owner paid for the survey. As far as I was concerned, it was a hazard, so I removed it.dug said:In the legal sense, you probably could've been in trouble. However, I would think there has to be some provisions about items in rights-of-way not being a hazard. I believe there is a license surveyor who is a member of this board, maybe they can chime on the legalities here. Worst case, the surveyer sounds like an idiot. I probably wouldn't have pounded it in, but instead called the town over to take care of it. Lot corners and lot lines shouldn't be placed in the right of way, they should be placed at the EDGE of the right-of-way. Sounds like the surveyor and the town are in disagreement as to what they perceived as the real property edge. What did the pipe intend to designate?
Not unlike the presumptive way some remove flagging tape in the woods for whatever reason(s) ...
