If they are, I guess you have to determine whether the loss is worth it compared to the immediate concern as well as the probability of a reduced resale value.
In looking at the pictures, it appears that the utilities were placed in the wrong spot OR the homesites were not placed right. Every other neighborhood I've seen has the boxes straddle lot lines, not be placed entirely on one lot. I agree with CaptJohn that Penguin needs to see the plans from TV and SECO and compare with the plan seen when picking the lot.

Our green box doesn't straddle. Neither do they down our street or any street in our village or on the lot in Hadley, our old house. I think that the lot size is the factor here. My advice is to be sure that you get as much lot as you want. Many do NOTwant big lots to care for anymore. We are all getting older.
