It is bull that (in most states) if someone gets injured in that area they can sue the homeowner. They have to maintain it, such as repairing sidewalks if damaged. But it is still public area.

@@NugireThe owner in 1981 was the developer. The developer created the drainage infrastructure, including the pipe easement and the retention pond the outfall pipe empties into. At that time, the community was approved with private roads and drainage. This carried to all four platted “groupings” of homes which would become 2 different HOAs and 1 COA, all built at different times between 1983 and 1993. Each section of the community is responsible for their piece of the drainage system. It is in their Declarations of Covenants and Restrictions. The easement is referenced in Lake Vista at Shadowbay’s Dec, and cannot be discharged even if the HOA ceases to exist as a corporation (which it did some years ago). Every single parcel of Lake Vista took title to their property subject to the easement. The outfall pipe is integral to the drainage system - it connects Shadowbay Club’s stormwater outflow route to the retention pond as it was designed to do, and had always done, since its construction in 1981 through April 2024.

You can’t put concrete in your storm drains. It is part of a system, not her little property. There are a lot of Americans who have lost the ability to consider anyone, anything beyond theirself. It is so rude. I’m appalled by someone who can’t figure out a drainage system cannot have concrete in it.

@ohger1

16 күн бұрын

The way I understand it (and I could be wrong) is that the drain pipe broke under her property. Whenever it rained, the internal leakage was causing erosion of her property. Sealing the drain off stopped the erosion at the expense of flooding, which I suspect is more of an inconvenience while it lasts compared to the erosion which is permanent in nature. Her claim is that since the pipe is on her property and she was told by the HOA the expense to fix the neighborhood drain was hers alone and not shared with the neighborhood HOA, she plugged it. Not saying I agree with the methods but I understand her frustration.

The city (or state) doesn't need permission to install *AND* maintain needed infrastructure on private property. It said infrastructure causes problems for you but you need to contact them and give them a chance to fix it. Failing that you take them to court. You do not cause problems for everyone else.

Right of Way, I think you mean. An easement is an agreement between property owner and an individual /company for "just" compensation. A right of way is "community space" for things such as utilities and sidewalks. If this was on her property, not on the right of way, an easement granted by a previous owner world have been binding in the deed transfer and would be documented in the deed and survey. The right of way is also shown in the survey. Due diligence is important.
