It seem that straightforward to me, too. It is not a question of who is at fault, the developer or the utility. That is of no concern to Penguin. Nor has Penguin expressed any concern that his house is 11 feet from the property line, as was represented to him and he agreed to.

His concern is that he didn't chose the small lot with the utility box. He chose one without it. If the box is 12 feet from his house on an adjacent lot, that's not the same as three feet from the house on his lot.

Close and the box stays, it doesn't matter whose fault it is. If Penguin does not want the lot with the misplaced box, he should not have to buy it.

I guess I am not understanding why it is any more complicated than that?
