Since you're new to this area, I can safely assume that you're *NOT* the person who planted said trees on an easement. That being said, as a property owner with an easement on your property, there are certain facts you have to face.
I have very similar trees - and a fence - in my back yard that are technically on top of a sewer easement. I did not plant the trees - glorious 25' tall leyland cypress trees - but I did build (part) of the fence on the easement. I accept the fact that one day, the town of Apex may need to do sewer work and may potentially rip down my trees and my fence in order to do so. Are these underground power lines? Typically most neighborhoods have underground power, and if these trees were growing near the underground power lines, I'm not surprised at all they were removed. If the easement refers to overhead power lines, it is a bit of a bummer because the trees obviously weren't endangering any overhead power lines. -- Rick Root New Brian Vander Ark Album, songs in the music player and cool behind the scenes video at www.myspace.com/brianvanderark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:251109 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
