There is nothing like the “open and notorious use” clause on my certificate of compliance. It did have a perc test waiver though, which was cool.I was surprised that the health dept. honored it, but they did for both systems.

I could have perfected the “prescriptive easement” access for cheaper than we paid for the back easements, but it is a cleaner shot in from there, and the new easements are theoretically good for splitting the lot. I could have never gotten that on the original road.

The people building now on the land where my easments are, will have to improve it at their expense.I’ll probably help them, but I don’t have to since the road is not being used to justify my building, as it is theirs.

Other good news, the three people who have, or are building around me, are building upper piggington type country estates. I had planned on getting the worst house on the best block in this fashion. For the most part the “code nazis” have made it so that only rich people can afford to do what I did, and they don’t want no little 2280 sqft house :).
You can still buy fairly cheaply out here…there are always people for whom someone else’s house won’t do. For them there are expensive architects and engineers.
