What is the name of your state? ohio
My home which is located on a cul-de-sac in a subdivision is situated next to a vacant lot. The developer is now attempting to build a house on that lot which we are opposed to because of the design and location of the home on the lot. He has informed me that my gas line runs through that lot and is encroaching on his lot stopping construction of the home. He is the one who installed our gas line in error on that lot He sold us our home). Can he force me to move that gas line or can I use that as legal leverage to get him to move the location of the proposed home on the lot?

We are trying to get him to move the footprint of the house on this odd shaped lot. He had an earlier design that was in keeping with the design and character of the neighborhood that required a retaining wall that he says is too expensive. We have been in front of the planning commission and they are trying to get him to compromise on the design issue, but he will only move the house over three feet. Can he force me to move this gas line under any circumstances or can I hold up his construction until a compromise is made.

My response:

You don't need to compromise at all. This is his problem. Tell him to bite rocks, and to pay for the moving of the gas line, or his property will just sit there wasting away.

So I can hold out with allowing him to move this gas line until he decides to do the right thing and comes up with a responsible design for the home he wants to build on this lot?
