Does it make a difference if it's a public right of way? In that case the landowner "owns" to the center of the road, but the county or muni has a ROW 50' wide centered on the property line. Is that dramatically different from shared driveways or other arrangements to make a driveway to landl

AFAIK and IANAL Anything placed in the ROW by a landowner or its assigns is subject to removal, movement, etc. by the utility in the ROW. Now, it probably would not be a typical thing to have a utility company do that, they would be more inclined to work around it. Regards, Chuck On Thu, Oct 8,

This would be largely dependant on the language in the initial easement. And I think you are really talking about an easement on private land, not a public right of way, correct?

You need a lawyer. My guess is that what you are calling a ROW in fact is an easement in that you gave certain rights to the ROW owner.

If you've already provided a right of way through your property, such as for a road or driveway, can you then sell an easement for a piece of land in the right of way? Such as for a utility pole adjacent to the driveway, but still in the right of way. It seems like there could be a conflict h
