How do you know? Did you read his plat? Typically, there is a right-of-way along the road that is owned by the county. If not, they could never widen the road without having eminent domain and compensating every homeowner for the value of the land that they use. That is why it is a right-of-way and not an easement. My plat clearly shows that the front lot line is located about 7 feet from the street.
