The box is on the wrong property. The Villages says the utility company says it's placed correctly.
Here is the problem.... If it's wrong on his property, (and I believe it is) it will be placed wrong on ALL the properties on that street. This is a BIG OOPS! I am disappointing that someone isn't doing anything to correct this problem.
If I look at my Plat of Survey, the easement and the boxes are spelled out. No surprises! The OP says they do not show up on his Survey. Everything else does, but not the boxes. The reason they do not show up is because they aren't supposed to be there. It's as simple as that.
I don't know anything about moving boxes, and I would guess it would be a major project. But then, what about planting upgraded landscaping around the lanais of these properties so they have a tropical feel when they walk out there? I'll bet there are a lot of solutions to this problem. But the bottom line on this, is....
I am standing on my soapbox that there has been a mistake made and I am VERY disappointed in The Villages that they are not doing more to fix it.
I don't care about noise of tennis courts, roads, smells etc. Those are things that you can see or ask about. They are in the survey and if the wind blows the wrong way here, (Illinois) the smell might not be so good. But a box out the back door that WASN'T in the survey when you bought the property... NOPE! I stand with the OP on this.
I don't have suggestions as to his next steps... I just believe this is wrong.
