I am working on a survey. The County Planning entity approved a Parcel Map Waiver-Lot Line Adjustment circa 1998. Legals prepared by private LS but no apparent review by a public agency LS since no stamp/signature appears on the document.
The underlying land was subdivided into small 50’x25’ lots with 15’ & 20’ wide private streets mapped circa 1926 as if they were seperate lots although not numbered or lettered.
In current local mapping standards if adjoining lots were intended to own fee title of the private streets, lot lines would extend to the CL and RW lines would be dashed. If private streets were seperate fee lots the RW lines would be solid and they would have a number or letter designation.
The legal includes “That portion of a Private Street...” and proceeds to name the applicable lots involved in the LLA.
My initial opinion is the original subdivider or their successors are the underlying fee owner of all the Private Streets in 18 MR 1 (attached). Further, I don’t think any of the owners involved in the LLA had an ownership interest to be able to Include portions of the Private Street. Now I need to convince the Title Co. , the County and my client that there appears to be trouble in River City.
Appreciate input. Am I missing something. Clearly I have more research to do. Thanks in advance.
