I am wondering about this. Have you asked Emergency Services how you are supposed to receive help if a barn catches fire, and you don't have a 911 address to give?
This is very interesting as in a matter of fact we did had a bush fire a month ago and I called 911.As I was standing on the road waiting for the fire engine to arrive ,I had to direct them into the illegal shared drive way.
In the past we had also annimals on our property and used that illegal shared drive way to feed and take care of them.
We believe now that previous owners had a mobile home and barns there illegal but did pay land tax.
Same as the shared drive way the barns were a condition in our contract to convey with the sale and the land at the time we bought the place.



If he owns the property, and you have a right-of-way easement (ingress/egress) over it, then you have the right to have the trees cut; owner retains wood (in most cases). There should not be any interfering tank/cables/pipe within a right of way.
The owner is a elderly widowed woman living there alone and after we talked to her she said she had no idea about all this and thought it was all her land.
After talking to her we believe there is no septic barried there.

I e/mailed your question to all concerned and the response back from the Realtor was not to worrie as neighbors will call 911 and they fire fighters will follow the smoke and cut locks and fences if needed.

Oh boy. Realtor seems to be brain-free :rolleyes:
What did the important people (EMS) say to your question? Fire, ambulance, police...they all tend to get there faster with an address to head for.

Except from the brainless Realtor …no body else ever replied on my e/mail.
I am still in waiting for something to happen or if is going to happen period.
I guess they all hoping that it is going away by it self ?

New developments. My lender for the new mobile home we bought
required a new survey done as the old one was 11 years old.
By arrival I told surveyor that the drive way was not legal and we may need to make a new one. His immediate reaction was: “ This shared drive way is legal and you have a right of way”. He pulled papers out from previous owners from were we bought the land from showing that they sold the front road properties with the condition that he himself reserved a 30 ft wide easement for the drive way beginning from the public road to have access to his property.
Surveyor also said: “ Previous owner was not illegal living there as at that time there was no such thing as a so called 911 address.
This surveyor was the same surveyor whom did the old and first survey many years ago.
It seems that he has a better administration and data than the county and Title Company.
We are now in waiting to see his survey as it should show in there the existing shared drive way and also the drive way to be made.
Maybe now all of a sudden I have 2 driveway options.

@ Divona I did.
Now it is waiting to have this acknowledged and verified by the County and to get a 911 address at this drive way location something what could be a other hold up as there is no 911 coordinator at the moment due to the fact the last one was fired..

Today we received the new survey and it clearly shows that we do have a easement on the shared driveway.
Now we are waiting to get a 911 address road number and than we can get our mobile installed.
It all has been a long unnecessary story with hurdles what basically started with the fired 911 coordinator letting every one believe we did not have a easement there.
Together with his verdict and the mistake made by the Title Company not finding the warranty deed for the easement resulted on all of the frustration but end good all good.
NO law suit and the widowed lady can still have her complete yard at least till we move from there what is very unlikely. Thanks everyone for advice and listening to my drama.
I appreciated every little bit of it.
